Abstract

In this study, we examine the relationship between housing prices and its macroeconomic determinants in the Turkish economy over the period 2010-2020. The ARDL bounds testing to
cointegration and Granger Causality test procedures are employed in the empirical part of the study. The empirical results show that there is a significant negative relationship between housing interest rates and housing prices. Besides, it was observed that the appreciation of the US dollar against the Turkish Lira and the increase in the employment level had an increasing effect on housing prices. As a result of our research, we conclude that country-specific facts affect the macroeconomic determinants’ ability to explain the changes in housing prices.

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, 2010-2020 dönemi için Türkiye ekonomisinde konut fiyatları ile makroekonomik belirleyicileri arasındaki ilişkiyi inceliyoruz. Çalışmanın ampirik kısmında, ARDL
eş bütünleşme sınır testi ve Granger Nedensellik test prosedürleri kullanılmaktadır. Ampirik sonuçlar, konut faiz oranları ile konut fiyatları arasında anlamlı bir negatif ilişki olduğunu
göstermiştir. Ayrıca ABD dolarının Türk Lirası karşısında değer kazanmasının ve istihdam düzeyindeki artışın konut fiyatlarını artırıcı yönde etkilediği gözlemlenmiştir. Araştırmamız
sonucunda ülkeye özgü farklılıkların, makroekonomik belirleyicilerin konut fiyatlarındaki değişimi açıklamadaki gücünü etkilediği sonucuna ulaştık.
