Abstract

The empirical investigation of the impact of oil price volatility on macroeconomic variables in oil-dependent countries can be used as a data source for determining production structure and sectoral transformation policies in these countries. The aim of this study is to investigate the effects of volatility in oil prices in GCC countries (Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, Saudi Arabia and United Arab Emirates) on economic growth and inflation by using monthly data for 2007-2018 period. Real industrial production index was used to represent economic growth, and inflation rates were calculated by taking into account the monthly change in the Consumer Price Index. SVAR model was preferred for analysis. Based on our test results, it was found that volatility in oil prices affects economic growth negatively and inflation rate positively in most GCC countries. As a policy implication, it can be suggested that in order to reduce the negative impact of volatility in oil prices on macroeconomic indicators, sectors other than oil should be supported.

Özet

Petrole bağımlı ülkelerde petrol fiyatlarındaki oynaklığın makro ekonomik değişkenler üzerindeki etkisinin ampirik olarak araştırılmasından elde edilecek bulgular, bu ülkelerde üretim yapısı ve sektörel dönüşüm politikalarının belirlenmesinde veri kaynağı olarak kullanılabilir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, GCC ülkeleri (Bahreyn, Katar, Kuveyt, Umman, Suudi Arabistan ve Birleşik Arap Emirlikleri)’nde petrol fiyatlarındaki oynaklığın iktisadi büyüme ve enflasyon üzerindeki etkilerini 2007-2018 dönemine ilişkin aylık veriler kullanarak araştırmaktır. Ekonomik büyümeyi temsilen reel sanayi üretim endeksi kullanılmış, enflasyon oranları ise Tüketici Fiyat Endeksindeki aylık değişim dikkate alınarak hesaplanmıştır. Analiz için SVAR modeli tercih edilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, petrol fiyatlarındaki oynaklık GCC ülkelerinin çoğunda iktisadi büyümeyi negatif, enflasyon oranını ise pozitif yönde etkilemektedir. Petrol fiyatlarındaki oynaklığın makro ekonomik göstergeler üzerindeki olumsuz etkisinin azaltılması için petrol dışındaki sektörlerin desteklenmesi gerekmektedir.
