As a consequence of satisfying both </span> <span style="font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;font-size:12pt;text-align:justify;"> conditions of weak exogeneity and structural invariance, government expenditure is </span> <span style="font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;font-size:12pt;text-align:justify;">  </span> <span style="font-family:’Times New Roman’, serif;font-size:12pt;text-align:justify;">superexogenous to GDP which implies that the policy regime shift for the period of the Global Financial Crisis in Turkey did not cause structural variance in government expenditure.
