ÖZET

Savunma harcamaları, ekonomik büyümeyi ve cari işlemler dengesini etkileyen önemli harcama
kalemlerinden birini oluşturur. Cari açık ise bütün ülkeler için istenmeyen bir durum olup önemli makroekonomik
sorunların başında yer alan bir göstergedir. Bu durumlar göz önüne alındığında iktisatçılar arasında savunma
harcamaları ile cari işlemler dengesi ve ekonomik büyüme arasındaki ilişki günümüze değin önemli bir yer tutmuş
ve bu konu ile ilgili birçok ampirik çalışma yapılmıştır. Bu çalışmada, 1986-2016 dönemi için Türkiye’de savunma
harcamaları ile cari işlemler dengesi ve ekonomik büyüme arasındaki ilişki Vektör Hata Düzeltme Modeli
(VECM) ile incelenmiştir.

EFFECT OF DEFENCE SPENDING ON ECONOMIC GROWTH AND CURRENT ACCOUNT BALANCE: TURKEY CASE

Abstract

ABSTRACT:

Military expenditure is one of the important expenditure items that affect economic growth and
current account balance. The current account deficit is an undesirable situation for all countries and is at the
forefront of major macroeconomic problems. Given these circumstances, the relationship between military
expenditure, current account balance and economic growth has played an important role on a day-to-day basis and
many empirical studies have been conducted by economists on this subject. In this study, the relationship between
military expenditure, current account balance and economic growth was examined for Turkey in the period of
1986-2016 with Vector Error Correction Model (VECM).
