TY - JOUR T1 - Regime Switching Stochastic Volatility: The Output Growth Behaviour TT - Regime Switching Stochastic Volatility: The Output Growth Behaviour AU - Terzioğlu, Mehmet Kenan PY - 2018 DA - April Y2 - 2018 DO - 10.25287/ohuiibf.407225 JF - Ömer Halisdemir Üniversitesi İktisadi ve İdari Bilimler Fakültesi Dergisi JO - ÖHÜİİBFD PB - Nigde Omer Halisdemir University WT - DergiPark SN - 2564-6931 SP - 195 EP - 202 VL - 11 IS - 2 LA - en AB - The outputvolatility can cause the recession in the economy by random shocks. Growthvolatility, output variability, fluctuation in output, and business cyclevolatility are used as the output uncertainty in the literature. Regime switchingand the stochastic volatility is combined within this paper to explain thebehaviour of output growth and its volatility. Moreover, this studypointed out the sign and direction of the relation between output growth andits uncertainty in Turkey as a developing country. In the scope of the study, a singleeconomic variable is preferred as a reference series and, although GDP is the“reference” series that determines the situation of economic activity, monthlyindustrial production index series is used instead of quarterly basis GDPbetween 1987: 01-2017: 04 monthly periods.
