Oil price and real effective exchange rate, which are the determining factors for export- import and Gross Domestic Product (GDP), have been the subject of much research in oil-exporting countries. Because of Azerbaijan’s dependence on crude oil export, the fluctuations in oil prices, together with exchange rate movements, have implications for the Azerbaijanian economy. This research examines (a) the relationships between export-import growth and GDP growth, (b) impacts of rates of changes in oil price and real effective exchange rate (DLPOIL&DLREER), also the volatilities of DLPOIL and DLREER (VOLPOIL&VOLREER) on export-import growth and GDP growth using Vector Autoregressive (VAR) model on quarterly time series between 2001Q1- 2020Q4. To find the volatilities of DLPOIL and DLREER, Autoregressive and Generalized Autoregressive Conditional Heteroskedasticity (ARCH&GARCH) models were employed. To determine the impacts of DLPOIL and DLREER, we used granger causality, impulse response functions, variance decomposition and dynamic multiplier function results of an unrestricted VAR model. Results of the VAR model show that (a) DLREER has a significant-negative effect only on GDP growth, (b) DLPOIL has a significant-positive impact on export growth and GDP growth, a significant-negative impact on import growth. Moreover, to find out the impact of VOLPOIL and VOLREER on other variables separately, a new VAR model was constructed with implementation of analysis methods used in previous VAR model. The findings of new VAR model reveal that (a) VOLREER has significant-negative effect only on GDP growth, (b) VOLPOIL has a significant-negative impact on export growth and GDP growth, a significant-positive impact on import growth.

A comparative study of classical and machine learning approaches for time series forecasting: an empirical analysis on exports in Turkey Günel, Eda; Yozgatlıgil, Ceylan; Department of Statistics (2019) Exports has become one of the main economic indicator for countries. Accordingly, an accurate forecasting for exports is an important step for decision making and finding the most appropriate forecasting model constitutes the main subject of many studies. By taking the popularity and success of the machine learning (ML) methods on time series forecasting tasks into consideration, they are utilized also in this study to observe their predictive performances on Turkish exports. In this respect, Long Short Ter...
Exchange rate pass through into the export and import prices of Turkey Abalı, Elif Ege; Akbostancı Özkazanç, Elif; Department of Economics (2004) In this study, exchange rate pass-through into the export prices and import prices is analyzed separately at the disaggregate level. The study also attempts to differentiate exchange rate pass-through in the short-run and long-run. To analyze pass-through in the short-run, dynamic modeling is used. To analyze pass-through in the long-run, cointegration analysis is conducted. Estimation results show that exchange rate pass-through into the import prices is complete even at the disaggregate level. However, th...
Drivers of the oil price : an empirical analysis of the effect of oil imports by OECD regions Güneyligil, Ümmügülsüm; Akbostancı Özkazanç, Elif; Department of Economics (2013) This study analyzes the effect of oil imports by OECD regions on crude oil price by using Kaufmann’s price rule as a benchmark. Using the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) cointegration approach; it is found that there is cointegration between crude oil prices, days of forward consumption of OECD crude oil stocks, OPEC quota, OPEC cheat and key variables imported crude oil by OECD. However, ARDL based error correction models (ECM) indicate that regional factors are not a significant determinant of crude...
World oil prices and agricultural commodity prices: Evidence from an emerging market NAZLIOĞLU, ŞABAN; Soytaş, Uğur (2011-05-01) Oil prices are thought to have direct effect on agricultural prices followed by an indirect effect through the exchange rate. This paper examines the short- and long-run interdependence between world oil prices, lira-dollar exchange rate, and individual agricultural commodity prices (wheat, maize, cotton, soybeans, and sunflower) in Turkey. To this end, the Toda-Yamamoto causality approach and generalized impulse-response analysis for identification of the long- and short-run interrelationships are applied ...
The Relation between crude oil prices and financial market indicators: a copula approach Öztürk, Derya Ezgi; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe; Küçüközmen, Coşkun; Department of Financial Mathematics (2014) Oil prices have far reaching effects on the economy and financial markets since oil market is one of the most important markets in the world due to its crucial role of oil within economic activity. Although most of the economies are expected to be affected by the changes of oil prices, the magnitude of the effects may change from country to country. Oil-export/import dependent countries are expected to be more open to impacts arousing from changes in oil prices. Turkey, as a heavily oil importing country, i...
