POLITICAL BUSINESS CYCLES THEORIES: EVIDENCE FROM TURKEY1

Abstract

The studies that have been conducted in recent years suggest that incumbent governments manipulate the economy for political reasons, in particular, with the aim of re-election. In new political economy literature, this situation is known as the Political Business Cycle; a macroeconomic cycle induced by the political cycle. The theory of PBC is studied under four theories called “The Traditional Opportunistic PBC Theory”, “The Traditional Partisan PBC Theory”, “The Rational Opportunistic PBC Theory” and “The Rational Partisan PBC Theory”. From these theories, the assumptions of the “The Rational Opportunistic PBC Theory”, “The Traditional Partisan PBC Theory” and “The Rational Partisan PBC Theory” do not seem to be valid in the Turkish context; hence testing of these models would not be meaningful. Therefore, in this study, “The Traditional Opportunistic PBC Model” is examined. In the study, the quarterly series of GDP, inflation, money in circulation (M0), money supply (M1) for the period of 1987- 2012 are analyzed with “Seasonal BoxJenkins Models”. According to the results obtained from this study, political business cycles hasn’t been observed in any series. This means that The Traditional Opportunistic PBC Theory isn’t valid for Turkish context.
