This paper presents an empirical model of private manufacturing investment in Turkey based on a neoclassical model of investment that allows for costly adjustment of capital. Before the resultant error correction model is estimated, the long run effects of public investment on private capital formation are investigated using multivariate cointegration techniques. Our empirical results show that in the long run, private manufacturing investment responds positively to an increase in the manufacturing sector’s real income and negatively to an increase in public investment or cost of capital. The short run dynamics of private investment captured through the ECM suggest that the current period’s public investment has a negative impact on private capital formation, while a positive effect is observed with a lag of one year.

Modelling nonlinearities in European money demand : an application of threshold cointegration model
Korucu Gümüşoğlu, Nebile; Öcal, Nadir; Department of Economics (2013)
The money demand function has been regarded as a fundamental building block in macroeconomic modelling, as it represents the link between the monetary policy and rest of the economy. The extensive literature on money demand function is concerned with the existence of a stable money demand function, which ensures adequate prediction of impact of a given change in money supply on other economic variables such as, inflation, interest rates, national income, private investment and other policy variables. This t...
Managing financial instability in emerging markets: A Keynesian perspective
Akyüz, Yılmaz (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2008-6)
The Keynesian analysis of financial instability as developed by Hyman Minsky provides considerable insights into understanding the nature and dynamics of boom-bust cycles driven by international capital flows in emerging markets. Its main policy conclusion that financial control rather than macroeconomic policy holds the key to financial stability is equally valid. There is, however, need to develop a new approach to financial control and place greater emphasis on managing capital inflows than has hitherto ...
The impact of international capital flows in a three-sector open economy: a dynamic general equilibrium analysis
Akgül, Zeynep; Saraçoğlu, Dürdane Şirin; Department of Economics (2009)
This thesis examines the effects of international capital flows on economic growth by using a dynamic general equilibrium framework based on a three-sector Ramsey Model. In order to detect the impact of financial integration on production, allocation of resources across three sectors and consumption, two different economic environments are modelled. While the first model represents a closed economy with financial autarky, the second model examplifies a financially integrated open economy with partial capita...
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...
Predicting Potential Welfare Effects Of Actual And Hypothetical Merger Proposals In The Turkish Privatization Program
Dalkır, Serdar; Kalkan, Ekrem (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2004-12)
Antitrust economists routinely use simulation models to predict the price effect of a transaction or agreement that involves collective pricing and/or collective profit maximization, such as a merger. Proportionality-Calibrated Almost Ideal Demand System (PCAIDS) model is a variant of the Almost Ideal Demand System (AIDS) model used to locally approximate a demand system for a differentiated-product market where the competitors are engaged in Bertrand conduct. PCAIDS model exploits the independence of irrel...
