Abstract
Çalışmada, borç hedeflemesi rejimin, makroekonomik
performans üzerindeki etkilerinin, politik makroekonomi modelleri kullanılarak,
merkez bankasının bağımsız olduğu kurumsal yapıda araştırılması amaçlanmıştır.
Bu çerçevede, çalışmada, ilk olarak borç hedeflemesinin, politik
istikrarsızlığın arttığı durumda makroekonomik sonuçları incelenmektedir. Daha
sonra, daha sıkı borç hedeflemesinin ekonomik performans üzerindeki etkileri
değerlendirilmektedir. Çalışmada, son olarak, seçim sonuçlarına ilişkin belirsizlik
durumunda, borç hedeflemesi politikasının makroekonomik etkileri analiz
edilmektedir. Çalışmadan elde edilen sonuçlara
göre, politik istikrarsızlık sonucu mali sürdürülebilirlik problemleri ile
karşı karşıya kalan ekonomilerde kamu borcunun makul bir seviyede seyretmesini
sağlayacak bir borç hedeflemesi rejimi, politik istikrarsızlığın zamanlar arası
maliyetinin azaltılmasına yardımcı olmaktadır.

Abstract
This study aims to explore the effects of debt targeting regime on macroeconomic perfomance by using political macroeconomic models in decentralized framework. Within this frame, firstly, the study aims to investigate the macroeconomic outcomes of debt targeting in a situation where political instability increases. Afterwards, the effects of more stricter debt targeting on macroeconomic performance is explored. In the study finally, macroeconomic effects of debt targeting policy are analyzed under electoral uncertainty. According to the findings, debt targeting regime enabling for the public debt to remain at a prudent level, helps in reducing the inter-temporal costs of political instability in the economies faced with the problems of fiscal sustainability as a result of political instability.
