In this paper, a monthly economic activity indicator is constructed for the Turkish economy for the period of 1988-2020. A dynamic factor modeling framework is utilized in the process. The variables are first categorized into five types as activity (hard data), activity (survey-based data or soft data), trade, employment, and financial variables. After determining the candidate variables for each category, data selection is finalized by using the hard-thresholding method. Results indicate that our monthly economic activity indicator is successful in detecting the past recessionary periods of the Turkish economy and providing timelier information about the course of economic activity.

In this thesis, a monthly economic activity indicator is constructed for the Turkish economy for the period 1988-2020. Dynamic factor modelling framework is utilized in the estimation of the indicator because of being good at synthesizing macroeconomic variables into an indicator. Variables used in the estimation of the indicator are industrial production index, electricity production, total vehicles production, the volume of production over the past 3 months, real sector confidence index, import volume ind...
An econometric analysis of electricity demand in Turkey
Bakırtaş, Tahsin; Karbuz, Sohbet; Bildirici, Melike (ODTÜ GELİŞME DERGİSİ, 2000-1-01)
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 specifica...

In this study, determinants and the evolution of the exchange rate passthrough to domestic inflation in the Turkish economy is analyzed. The analyses cover the 1987-2003 period. In the analyses, single equation أError Correction Modelsؤ are used to estimate the exchange rate pass-through. Estimation results suggest that alike other emerging countries, the degree of exchange rate passthrough to domestic prices is high and the pass-through is completed in a very short time span. Estimations results also indic...
Disaggregate energy consumption, employment and income in Turkey
Sarı, Ramazan; Soytaş, Uğur (2004-05-01)
The purpose of this paper is to contribute to literature on energy consumption and economic growth relationship by examining how much of the variance in national income growth can be explained by the growth of different sources of energy consumption and employment in Turkey. We use the recently developed generalized forecast error variance decomposition technique of Koop et al. [J. Econom. 74 (1996) 119] and Pesaran and Shin [Econ. Lett. 58 (1998) 17] to determine the information content of the growth rate ...
