Abstract

Consumer confidence index (CCI) is an important data that has a long history in developed countries and is produced in almost every country. In our country, this index is published as calculated from data of consumer tendency survey by Turkey Statistical Institute (TURKSTAT) since December 2003. With this study, it is aimed to investigate whether there is a correlation between the monthly values of the index calculated in Turkey since 2003 and done in Turkey the votes of the ruling party in the parliamentary elections, the election of members to the provincial assembly in local elections, the plebiscites and the presidential elections. The relationship between the consumer confidence index and the elections in Turkey has not been studied so far. The findings obtained show that there is a very strong relationship between the voting rates of the ruling party and monthly index values.

Özet

Tüketici güven endeksi (TGE) gelişmiş ülkelerde uzun bir geçmişe sahip ve hemen her ülkede üretilen önemli bir veridir. Ülkemizde de bu endeks Türkiye İstatistik Kurumu (TUİK) tarafından 2003 yılı aralık ayından bu yana derlenen tüketici eğilim anketi verilerinden aylık olarak hesaplanıp, yayımlanmaktadır. Bu çalışma ile endeksin aylık değerleri ile Türkiye’de 2003 yılından sonra yapılan milletvekili seçimleri, yerel seçimlerde il genel meclisine üye seçimi, halk oylamaları ve cumhurbaşkanı seçimlerinde iktidar partisinin oyları arasında bir korelasyonun olup olmadığının araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Türkiye’de tüketici güven endeksi ile seçimler arasındaki ilişki bugüne kadar incelenmemiştir. Elde edilen bulgular, seçimlerde iktidar partisinin aldığı oy oranları ile endeks değerleri arasında çok güçlü bir ilişki olduğunu göstermektedir.
