The Relationship Between Business Cycle and Energy Prices in Turkey

Year 2018, Volume: 6 Issue: ICEESS’ 18, 75 - 81, 15.12.2018

Abstract

Recently it is observed an increase in business
cycle in Turkey. One of the most important factors affecting these fluctuations
is energy prices. In this study, relations between business cycle and energy
prices are investigated using analysis of cross correlation, causality
analysis, impulse response analysis and VAR model for the period of 1998-Q3 and
2017-Q2 in Turkey. In the study, quarterly time series are used for the
variables of real gross domestic product, coal, oil and electricity price
index. As a result of the analysis; it is observed that fluctuations in coal,
oil and electricity prices move in reverse direction with business cycle and
that there is a one-way causality relationship from the electricity price index
to business cycle. Furthermore, the largest share of the change that may occur
on business cycle has been found to be the change in electricity prices.

Türkiye’de Enerji Fiyatları ve Konjonktürel Dalgalanmalar Arasındaki İlişki

Year 2018, Volume: 6 Issue: ICEESS’ 18, 75 - 81, 15.12.2018

Abstract

Son
dönemlerde Türkiye’de konjonktürel dalgalanmaların sıklaştığı ve boyutunun
arttığı gözlemlenmektedir. Bu dalgalanmaları etkileyen en önemli unsurlardan
biri enerji fiyatlarıdır. Bu amaçla çalışmada, Türkiye’de 1998-Q3 ve 2017-Q2
dönemi için konjonktür dalgalanmaları ile enerji fiyatları arasındaki ilişki
çapraz korelasyon, nedensellik analizi, etki-tepki analizi ve VAR modeli
yardımıyla analiz edilmektedir. Çalışmada reel gayrisafi yurtiçi hasıla, kömür,
petrol ve elektrik fiyat endeksi değişkenlerine ilişkin üç aylık zaman serileri
kullanılmıştır. Yapılan analiz sonucunda; 
kömür, petrol ve elektrik fiyatlarındaki dalgalanmaların her birinin
konjonktürel dalgalanmalar ile ters yönde hareket ettiği ve elektrik fiyatlarındaki
dalgalanmalardan konjonktürel dalgalanmalara doğru tek yönlü bir nedensellik
ilişkisinin olduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Ayrıca konjonktürel dalgalanmalar üzerinde
meydana gelebilecek değişimi açıklamada en büyük paya elektrik fiyatlarındaki
değişimin sebep olduğu bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır.
