Abstract

Bu çalışmada Türkiye’de birincil denge belirleyicilerinin ampirik olarak tespit edilebilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu doğrultuda yıllık veriler kullanılarak 1986-2017 dönemi için Sıradan En Küçük Kareler yöntemi ile Türkiye’nin mali reaksiyon fonksiyonu hesaplanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre Türkiye’de birincil denge, borç artışlarına karşı pozitif bir tepki vermektedir. Ancak bu tepkinin borç stokunun artmasıyla birlikte –mali yorgunluk davranışı göstererek- yavaşladığı görülmektedir. Ayrıca birincil dengenin çıktı açığı, kamu harcamaları açığı, yaş bağımlılık oranı ve dış ticaret hacminden etkilendiği bulgusuna erişilmiştir. Sonuç olarak, ekonomideki canlanma dönemleri, her zaman için kullanılabilir bir mali alanın varlığı ve genç nüfusun istihdama katılımı birincil dengede istenilen düzeyin yakalanabilmesi açısından oldukça önemlidir. Son olarak, Türkiye’de hükümetler, birincil denge üzerindeki kontrollerini güçlendirebilmeleri için yüksek cari açık sorununu yapısal sorun olmaktan çıkarmalıdırlar.

Factors Affecting Primary Balance in Turkey

Abstract

In this paper, it is aimed to examine empirically determinants of primary balance in Turkey. In this direction, it is estimated Turkey’s fiscal reaction function by using annual data between 1986-2017 through Ordinary Least Squares method. Our findings show that the primary balance reacts positively to the increase in debt in Turkey. But this reaction decelerates with the increase in the debt stock due to fiscal fatigue. In addition, the primary balance reacts output gap, government expenditure gap, age dependency and trade openness. Consequently, periods of economic recovery, government’s fiscal space and youth employment are highly important to determine a good primary balance level. Also, governments in Turkey focus high current account deficit problem to ensure controlling of the primary balance.
