This paper investigates whether the Feldstein and Horioka (Economic Journal, 90, 314-29, 1980) argument on domestic saving-investment relationship is supported by the French data when an endogenous structural break corresponding to a major policy regime change is taken into account. The evidence suggests that the saving-investment cointegration disappears after the estimated endogenous structural break point in 1973 coinciding with the end of the Bretton Woods system of fixed exchange rates. Consistent with a current account targeting policy, an investment-driven saving process appears to be the case for the fixed exchange rate regime period.

Exchange Rate Regimes and Business Cycles: An Empirical Investigation Erdem, Fatma Pinar; Özmen, Erdal (2015-11-01) This paper empirically investigates the impacts of domestic and external factors along with exchange rate regimes (ERRs) on business cycles in a large panel of advanced and emerging market economies (EME). The results for classical business cycles suggest that EME tend to experience much deeper recessions and relatively steeper expansions during almost the same duration. The probability of expansions significantly increases with ERR flexibility. Our results strongly support floating ERR for both advanced an...
Exchange rate regimes, saving glut and the Feldstein-Horioka puzzle: The East Asian experience Kaya-Bahçe, Seçil; Özmen, Erdal (Elsevier BV, 2008-04-15) This paper investigates whether the recent experience of the emerging East Asian countries with current account surpluses is consistent with the "saving glut" hypothesis and the Feldstein and Horioka puzzle. The evidence suggests that the saving retention coefficients declined substantially in most of the countries after an endogenous break date coinciding with a major exchange rate regime change with the 1997-1998 crisis. Exchange rate flexibility appears to be enhancing financial integration. The results ...
Domestic credit expansion, capital flows and current account imbalances : empirical analyses for Brazil and Turkey Yaman, Yasemin; Gaygısız Lajunen, Esma; Department of Economics (2012) This thesis analyzes the interactions between domestic credit expansion, capital inflows and current account imbalances in a framework of empirical models carried out for Brazil and Turkey. In this context, three vector autoregressive (VAR) models are specified covering the time period between January 2002 and March 2012 for Brazil and 2003 January and 2012 March for Turkey. Real effective exchange rate (REER) and relative yield spreads formed with country specific Embi + indexes are also included in the es...
The Relationship between unemployment rate and growth: time series approach for Turkey Akpiliç, Ferdi; Yozgatlıgil, Ceylan; Department of Statistics (2016) This study analyzes the relationship of economic growth and unemployment by using quarterly data for the period 2005:Q1-2016:Q1 for Turkish Economy. Three different versions of Okun’s law which are difference, gap and dynamic versions are investigated in the study. According to results, it is found that Okun’s Law is valid for Turkey. In addition, productivity variable is added to dynamic models to test effect of productivity on unemployment rate and models results reveal positive relationship between produ...
Financial development, exchange rate regimes and the Feldstein-Horioka puzzle: evidence from the MENA region Özmen, Erdal (Informa UK Limited, 2007-04-01) This article investigates whether the Feldstein and Horioka (1980) argument on domestic saving-investment relationship is supported by the data of the countries in the Middle East and North Africa region when financial development levels and exchange rate regimes are taken into account. To this end, we employ both the Auroregressive Distributed Lag bounds cointegration test and panel mean group procedures. The results support the view that a successful international financial integration requires compatible...
