Abstract

In this study, the causality between foreign direct investment, trade openness and economic growth was investigated. The analysis covers 81 observations during the 20 years between 1998Q1-2018Q1 for export, import, FDI and GDP of Turkey. ADF unit root, Engel Granger co-integration, Granger causality, VAR Decomposition, VAR Impulse- Response tests and techniques were employed in the analysis. According to the results, economic growth is explained by GDP at a 75% level, by import at a 15% level, by foreign direct investments at a 5% level and by export at a 5% level. However, the impacts of foreign direct investment and export on economic growth are not statistically significant. GDP and import are statistically significant on economic growth in the first two quarters, but insignificant for subsequent quarters. There is a uni-directional causality from import to economic growth. As a result, import and GDP are the determinants of economic growth in very short-term, while the effects of foreign direct investments and exports on growth are insignificant in Turkey.

Özet

Bu çalışmada, doğrudan yabancı yatırımlar, ticari serbestleşme ve iktisadi büyüme arasındaki nedensellik ilişkisi incelenmiştir. Analiz, Türkiye için 1998Q1-2018Q1 arasındaki 20 yıllık dönemde 81 gözlemi kapsamaktadır. Analizde, ADF birim kök, Engel Granger eş-bütünleşme, Granger nedensellik, VAR ayrıştırma ve VAR etki-tepki test ve teknikleri kullanılmıştır. Araştırma sonuçlarına göre; ithalat, ihracat, doğrudan yabancı yatırımlar ve iktisadi büyüme arasında uzun dönemli bir ilişki yoktur. İktisadi büyümenin yaklaşık % 75’i GSYİH tarafından, % 15’i ithalat, % 5’i doğrudan yabancı yatırımlar ve %5’i ise ihracat tarafından açıklanmaktadır. Doğrudan yabancı yatırımların ve ihracatın, büyüme üzerindeki etkisi istatistiksel olarak anlamlı değildir. GSYİH ve ithalat, iktisadi büyüme üzerinde ilk iki çeyrekte istatistiksel olarak anlamlı çıkmasına karşın, sonraki çeyreklerde anlamlılığını yitirmektedir. Sonuç olarak, Türkiye’de ithalat ve GSYİH, iktisadi büyümenin çok kısa dönemde belirleyicisi iken, doğrudan yabancı yatırımlar ve ihracatın büyüme üzerindeki etkileri anlamlı değildir.
