THE EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS OF TRIPLET DEFICIT HYPOTHESIS IN THE BRIC AND THE MINT COUNTRIES

Abstract

The fact that current account deficit is one of the leading indicators is the reason that the
determinants of current account deficit are investigated. In the literature, the presence of current
account deficit along with the budget deficit is denoted with the twin deficits notion, while it has
been mentioned from triplet deficits, which has a limited number of work, with the addition of the
savings-investment imbalance to the twin deficits. The study aims to analyze the presence of the triplet
deficits in the BRIC and the MINT as an emerging two groups of countries between 1998 and 2014 via
Dumitrescu and Hurlin (2012)’s panel non-causality test. The empirical findings showed that the
triplet deficit hypothesis is valid for BRIC, but not for MINT.

BRIC VE MINT EKONOMİLERİNDE ÜÇÜZ AÇIK HİPOTEZİNİN AMPİRİK ANALİZİ

Abstract

Ülkelerde cari açığın krizin öncü göstergelerinden biri olması cari açığın belirleyenlerinin
araştırılmasına yönelik çalışmaların artmasına neden olmuştur. Literatürde cari açıkla birlikte bütçe
açığının varlığı ikiz açık olgusu ile ifade edilirken, ikiz açık olgusuna tasarruf-yatırım dengesizliğinin
ilave edilmesi ile sınırlı çalışma sayısına sahip olan üçüz açık olgusundan bahsedilmektedir. Bu
çalışma gelişen iki ülke grubu olarak BRIC (Brezilya, Rusya, Hindistan ve Çin) ve MINT (Meksika,
Endonezya, Nijerya ve Türkiye) ekonomilerinde 1998-2014 yılları arasında üçüz açık hipotezinin
geçerliliğini Dumitrescu ve Hurlin (2012)’nin panel nedensellik testi aracılığıyla analiz etmeyi
amaçlamaktadır. Bulgular, üçüz açık hipotezinin BRIC ülkelerinde geçerli olduğunu, MINT
ülkelerinde ise geçerli olmadığını göstermektedir.
