Abstract

Among the different criteria used for testing sustainability of public debt, the econometric approach determines whether a government is able to sustain its budget deficits without defaulting on its debt. In this contribution, by linking three different motives proposed respectively by Trehan and Walsh (1991), Hakkio and Rush (1991) and Bohn (1995), we develop a compact step-wise test algorithm and apply that to the European economies, including the PIIGS countries and Turkey. Secondly, we introduce phase-space reconstruction methodology in order to locate the path for debt dynamics, which enables us to observe fiscal policy implications in short and medium-term. We conclude that most economies are characterized by sustainable debt policies with the exception of Greece, Ireland, Portugal, Spain, and possibly United Kingdom. For the latter country, while the outcome of test algorithm indicates the sustainability of debt policy, phase-space examination shows that the reaction of the government to diverging debt stock GDP ratio cannot be sufficient to stabilize the path for debt dynamics.

Özet

Kamu borcu sürdürülebilirliğini test etmekte kullanılan farklı kriterler arasında yer alan ekonometrik yaklaşım, hükümetlerin borç ödeme güçlüğüne düşmeden bütçe açıklarını sürdürüp sürdüremeyeceğini araştırır. Bu çerçevede, Trehan ve Walsh (1991), Hakkio ve Rush (1991) ve Bohn (1995) tarafından literatüre kazandırılmış üç farklı ekonometrik analiz yöntemini temel alan bütünleşik bir test algoritması meydana getirdik. Bu algoritmayı kullanarak avro-bölgesi ekonomileri, PIIGS gnıbu ülkeleri, İngiltere ve Türkiye'nin de aralarında bulunduğu bazı OECD ülkelerinin kamu borcu sürdürülebilirliğini inceledik. Araştırmamızı güçlendirmek maksadı ile bütünleşik ekonometrik yaklaşıma ek olarak, borç dinamiklerinin kısa ve orta-dönem seyrini belirleyebilmek için faz-uzayı yapılandırılması metodunu önerdik ve uyguladık. İki farklı yaklaşım neticesinde Yunanistan, İrlanda, Portekiz ve İspanya haricindeki ülkelerin kamu borcu sürdürülebilir olarak belirlendi. İngiltere için ise açık bir neticeye ulaşamadık. Şöyle ki; İngiltere için bütünleşik ekonometrik yaklaşım sürdürülebilir bir kamu borcuna sahip olduğunu gösterirken, faz-uzayı yaklaşımı ise denge kümesinden sapmakta olan kamu borcu GSYİH oranına karşı mali hamlelerin borç dinamiğinin bozunum seyrini önleyemediğini ortaya koymaktadır.
