Abstract

This study aims to define the economic structural reforms for Türkiye accompanied by the IMF-MONA program classifications, to measure them from the Official Gazette archive of the Presidency of the Republic of Türkiye in the period 1990-2021 and to examine their effects on economic growth with the BF-ARDL model. As a result of analysing the econometric models based on the expansion of the Cobb-Douglas production function in the study, it has been determined that the reforms carried out have positive/meaningful effects on Türkiye’s growth in the financial, fiscal and real sectors and positive/meaningless in the trade sector. These results show that the reforms carried out in Türkiye support growth and indicate that it has a significant potential to be sustained and strengthened.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, IMF-MONA (Monitoring of Fund Arrangements) programı sınıflandırmaları eşliğinde ekonomik yapısal reformların Türkiye için tanımlanması, 1990-2021 döneminde Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Cumhurbaşkanlığı Resmî Gazete arşivinden ölçümlenmesi ve ekonomik büyüme üzerindeki etkilerinin BF-ARDL modeliyle incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada Cobb-Douglas üretim fonksiyonunun genişletilmesine dayanan ekonometrik modellerin çözümlenmesi sonucunda, gerçekleştirilen reformların Türkiye’nin büyümesi üzerinde finansal, mali ve reel sektörlerde pozitif/anlamlı ve ticari sektörde ise pozitif/anlamsız etkilere sahip olduğu belirlenmiştir. Bu sonuçlar, inceleme döneminde Türkiye’de gerçekleştirilen reformların büyümeyi desteklediğini göstermekte ve güçlendirilerek sürdürülebilmesinde önemli bir potansiyele sahip olduğuna işaret etmektedir.
