Impact of The Real Effective Exchange Rate on Turkey's Bilateral Trade With 27 European Union Countries: FADL Cointegration
Abstract
EU countries have a significant share in Turkey's foreign trade regarding exports and imports. In the EU, local currencies are in use along with the EU's common currency, the Euro. A significant impact of economic unions is the inbound deviation within the union regarding trade with non-members. Monetary union among member states increases the importance of exchange rate fluctuations in non-member states such as Turkey.
This study investigates the long-term relation between bilateral trade and real effective exchange rate in terms of Turkey's trade with 27 EU countries. Data regarding the 1998-2020 period's GDP, real effective exchange rate, imports and exports was investigated by Fourier ADL cointegration test. For series' stationarity, ADF and FADF tests were used; all series were determined as I (I). According to the results of the FADL cointegration test, a cointegration relation was determined for both models, where exports and imports were dependent variables. This study has found that real effective exchange rate does not have a statistically significant impact on Turkey's import and export with 27 EU countries.
