IMPACT OF GDP GROWTH ON UNEMPLOYMENT DURING THE EXPANSION PERIODS: A STUDY ON OKUN’S LAW FOR TURKEY

Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze the relation between unemployment rate and Gross Domestic Product, as it is postulated in the Okun’s law. In this study, Gross Domestic Product is divided into two parts by approaching from a different perspective such as gross capital formation of investment and final consumption expenditure as a contribution to the earlier studies. A dummy variable is also added in the model, which represents the periods of expansion in the Gross Domestic Product. According to the results of analyses, existence of the co-integration is confirmed in the long-run between variables. There is a negative and significant relation between unemployment and years of expansion in the short run. The Vector Error Correction Model also unveils that disequilibrium in the model will gravitate toward the balance each period
