Abstract

Capital investment constitutes an important part of economic policies. In general it is accepted that the remedy of unemployment and low welfare is higher investment. Theoretically uncertainty is one of the factors that affect investment. Two opposite views claim that an increase in uncertainty could increase or decrease investment. As a consequence of globalization the importance of exchange rate and its uncertainty have increased. This study investigates the effect of nominal exchange rate uncertainty on capital investment in Turkey and finds that there is a reverse effect. As a consequence, floating exchange rate regimes that inflict more uncertainty may have an adverse effect on investment and growth.

Özet

İktisat politikalarında sermaye yatırımının önemli bir yeri vardır. İşsizliğin ve düşük refahın çaresi olarak yatırımların artması gerektiği genel olarak kabul edilmiş bir görüştür. Kuramsal olarak yatırım kararını etkileyen birçok faktörün arasında belirsizlikte vardır. İki farklı görüşe göre belirsizlikteki artış yatırımları artırabilir veya azaltabilir. Artan küreselleşme sonucu kurdaki hareketler ve dolayısıyla kurdaki belirsizlik daha da önemli hale gelmiştir. Bu çalışmada nominal kur oynaklığının Türkiye’de sermaye yatırımı üzerindeki etkisi incelenmiş ve bu etkinin olumsuz yönde olduğu bulunmuştur. Bu sonuca göre belirsizliğin daha fazla olduğu serbest kur politikasının yatırımlar ve dolayısıyla büyüme üzerinde olumsuz bir etkisi olabilir.
