Abstract

Bu çalışma, Türkiye’de kamu harcamaları ve kamu gelirleri arasındaki nedensellik ilişkisini araştırmayı amaçlamaktadır. Hata düzeltme modeli ve Toda‐Yamamoto yöntemleri kullanıla‐ rak yapılan çalışmada, 1987:1 ve 2005:04 arasın‐ daki dönemde kamu harcamaları ve kamu gelir‐ leri arasında bir eşbütünleşme ilişkisi olmasına rağmen, nedensellik olmadığı sonucuna ulaşıl‐ mıştır. Bu sonuç, kamu harcamaların kısılması ve/veya vergilerin artırılmasının bütçe açıklarını azaltmada etkili olabileceğini ifade etmektedir.

Keywords

Bütçe açıkları, kamu harca‐ maları‐kamu gelirleri, Granger nedensellik, eşbütünleşme.

Public Expenditures and Revenues in Turkey: An Investigation on Causality

Abstract

This paper investigates the evidence for cointegration government revenue and expenditure for Turkey over the period 1987:01‐2005:04. The results from Yamamoto method suggest that there is no causality between government revenue and government expenditure in either direction. This finding supports the idea that either reducing expenditures or raising taxes can decrease the budget deficit in Turkey.

Keywords

Budget deficits, public expenditures‐ public revenues, Granger causality, cointegration.
