The aim of the paper is twofold: First, to investigate the long-run economic relationship between electricity demand and income in Turkey for the period 1962-1996 using the concept of cointegration and error correction modelling. Second, to model the electricity consumption using univariate ARMA process and to make forecast for the years 1997-2010. The results indicate that electricity consumption and income are cointegrated, i.e., they tend to move together in the long run. Using error correction specification, the short- and long-run elasticities of income are estimated. The results show that income elasticity of electricity consumption is very high and electricity consumption in the future will continue to grow at higher rates.

An Empirical Analysis of the Bank Lending Channel in Turkey Ozsuca, Ekin Ayse; Akbostancı Özkazanç, Elif (2013-07-01) The purpose of this paper is to empirically analyze the role of the banking sector in monetary policy transmission in Turkey covering the period 1988-2009. By exploiting dynamic panel data modeling approaches, the heterogeneity in banks' lending response to changes in policy interest rates is analyzed. Given the changes in the policy stance and developments in the financial system following the 2000-01 crisis, the analysis is further conducted for the two sub-periods, 1988-2001 and 2002-2009, to examine whe...
A Cross-Section Analysis of Local Public Spending in Turkey Pınar, Abuzer (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2001) This paper examines a model of demand for local government-provided goods, and applies this to municipal spending in Turkey. Two sets of variables are tested: the socioeconomic characteristics of the localities, and the political variables. The results are generally in line with the previous findings for a set of socio-economic variables, however none of the political variables seem to have explanatory power, probably because of the high dependence of local governments on the central government and hen...
The sustainability analysis of Turkish domestic debt Alkan, Feyza; Öcal, Nadir; Department of Economics (2009) In this thesis, sustainability of the Turkish domestic debt is analyzed within the “sustainability indicators” perspective. The fiscal targets of Maastricht Treaty (1992) are imposed on the Turkish fiscal policy and it is investigated whether these targets are the indicators for sustainability in the medium term. Uctum and Wickens’ (2000) methodology is followed in assessing the sustainability of the current fiscal policy and the efficiency of the Maastricht Treaty (1992) targets. Moreover, the vector auto ...
An empirical analysis of the relationship between financial deepening and economic growth: the case of Turkey Esen, Kılıç; Voyvoda, Ebru; Department of Economics (2008) This study aims to investigate the direction of the relationship between financial deepening and economic growth after the completion of financial liberalization in Turkey. In order to do this, an unbalanced panel data set of 49 OECD and emerging countries for 1953-2005 period is examined with Granger causality and panel data estimation techniques. In the light of panel data analysis results, quarterly Turkish time series data for 1987-2006 period is examined by using Granger causality, cointegration and Ve...
An Input-Output Analysis of the Turkish Construction Sector 1973-1990 Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (Ashgate, 2000-06-01) Using the four input-output tables compiled in Turkey to date, the aim of this paper is to examine the construction sector’s role in Turkish economy and analyse its relationships with the other sectors of the national economy. Analysis results show that the share of construction in GNP and NI tend to increase whereas the GNP share of manufacturing is relatively stable and that of services tend to increase after an abrupt decrease in 1985; backward linkage indicators and output multipliers as well as forward...
