Generational Accounting (GA), developed by Auerbach. Gokhale and Kotlikoff (1991) is an alternative and dynamic method employed in measuring the impact of existing fiscal policies on current and future generations. The method is based on the government’s intertemporal budget constraint which principally requires that the present value of current and future generations’ net tax payments plus the existing net wealth be sufficient enough to cover for government’s future consumption. In contrast to the traditional and static measures of fiscal sustainability, GA method reveals the intergenerational distribution of tax burden and helps identifying the policies that can alleviate the generational imbalance. This paper constructs and presents the first set of generational accounts for Turkey in an attempt to measure the generational gap and compare the Turkish intergenerational fiscal outlook to a number of developed and developing countries.

Generational Accounting in Turkey Derin Güre, Pınar (2015-01-01) Generational Accounting, developed by Auerbach, Gokhale and Kotlikoff (1991), is an alternative and dynamic method employed in measuring the impact of existing fiscal policies on current and future generations. In contrast to the traditional and static measures of fiscal sustainability, the Generational Accounting method reveals the intergenerational distribution of tax burden and helps identify the policies that can alleviate the generational imbalance.

Towards s critical sociology and political economy of public finance Gürkan, Ceyhun; Nalbantoğlu, Hasan Ünal; Köse, Ahmet Haşim; Department of Sociology (2010) The exploration of this thesis on public finance proceeds on two axes.

The thesis that presents a political and historical evaluation of public finance from a critical sociological and political economy approach associates the components of this definition such as public, the political etc. with the relevant debates in social a...
Assessing domestic debt sustainability of Turkey with a risk management approach Tiftik, Mehmet Emre; Gaygısız Lajunen, Esma; Department of Economics (2006) This thesis analyzes the debt dynamics of Turkey and assesses the sustainability of fisscal policy. The assessment of fiscal policy follows the methodology of Garcia and Rigobon (2004). This approach focuses on the concept of debt sustainability from a risk management perspective and incorporates the effects of stochastic shocks to the economy in its assessment. The results suggest that a continuation of the present fiscal stances will lead to a fiscal unsustainability in Turkey. Furthermore, the results in...

Risk analysis of the government domestic debt stock in Turkey: cost-at-risk approach Gürcihan, H. Burcu; Gaygısız Lajunen, Esma; Department of Economics (2004) In this study, stochastic simulation based risk analysis is applied to the government domestic debt stock in Turkey with the motivation to identify the cost and risk characteristics of alternative debt financing strategies. Future path of interest rates is simulated by using the yield curve forecasting framework in Diebold and Li (2002), which is founded on the Nelson-Siegel yield curve model. Yield curve simulation is based on the estimated term structure of interest rates for the period June 2001-July 200...
