Özet

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye’de, 1950-2009 dönemini kapsayan yıllık verilere dayalı zaman serisi teknikleriyle, devletin dönemler arası bütçe kısıtını temel alan bir bakış açısı kullanarak, maliye politikası uygulamalarını ampirik olarak analiz etmektir. Uygulamalı analiz sonuçları, ulaşılan üç temel sonuç yardımı ile sadece mali açığın sürdürülebilirliğine değil aynı zamanda gelir-harcama ilişkisine de ışık tutmaktadır: (i) Yapısal kırılmalar dikkate alınsa bile mali açıklar durağan değildir. Dolayısıyla, Türkiye’de uygulanmış olan maliye politikalarının sürdürülebilirliğinden bahsedilemez. (ii) Reel gelir ve harcama serilerinin, yapısal kırılmalar dikkate alınsın ya da alınmasın, eşbütünleşik olmaması nedeniyle yine maliye politikasının sürdürülebilir olmadığına işaret edilmektedir. (iii) Reel harcama ve gelir serileri arasında Granger anlamında bir nedensellik ilişkisi bulunamamıştır
