International trade is very exposed to political risk and the existence of political risk components in a given market may cause problems in both export and import activities. Government instability is one of the political risk components that is related with trade openness. The paper examines the government stability-trade openness nexus for Turkey using Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) and VECM based Granger Causality test covering the period of 1984-2016. Results have shown that there is a unidirectional causality in the long run from trade openness to government stability. Because Turkey’s production of final goods usually is based on imports, an increase in exchange rate usually floats trade openness in favor of imports. This creates foreign trade deficit. Worsening economic conditions affects the government stability. Due to the unfavorable picture and economic crises in Turkey, the average duty time of the governments established between 1990-2003 was one year. Despite this, export-led growth and highest amount of foreign direct investment within three election periods starting from 2002, enabled the individuals to grasp the importance of stability in governance. During the 2010s, Turkey struggled with the foreign trade deficit, high inflation and unemployment rates brought about by the high exchange rate, and the deteriorating economic situation caused the ministers in the cabinet and even the presidential system to change. Thus, the study concluded that trade openness may affect the policy-relevant implications and create government instability for Turkey through changes in exchange rates and depreciation of Turkish lira.

Hükümet İstikrarı ve Ticari Açıklık Arasındaki Nedensellik İlişkisi: Türkiye Örneği

Uluslararası ticaret siyasi riske çok fazla maruz kalmaktadır ve belirli bir piyasadaki siyasi risk bileşenlerinin varlığı hem ihracat hem de ithalat faaliyetlerinde sorunlara neden olabilmektedir. Hükümet istikrarsızlığı, ticarete açıklıkla ilgili siyasi risk bileşenlerinden biridir. Makale, 1984-2016 dönemini kapsayan Vektör Hata Düzeltme Modeli (VECM) ve VECM tabanlı Granger Nedensellik testi kullanılarak Türkiye için hükümetin istikrar-ticaret açıklık bağını incelemektedir. Elde edilen sonuçlar, uzun vadede ticarete açıklıktan hükümet istikrarına doğru tek yönlü bir nedensellik olduğunu göstermiştir. Türkiye’nin nihai mal üretimi genellikle ithalata dayandığından, döviz kurundaki artış genellikle ticaret açıklığını ithalat lehine dalgalandırır. Bu da dış ticaret açığı yaratmaktadır. Kötüleşen ekonomik koşullar hükümetin istikrarını etkiler. Türkiye'deki olumsuz tablo ve ekonomik kriz nedeniyle 1990-2003 yılları arasında kurulan hükümetlerin ortalama görev süreleri bir yıl olmuştur. Buna rağmen, 2002 yılından başlayarak üç seçim dönemi içinde ihracatın liderliğinde büyüme ve yüksek miktarda doğrudan yabancı yatırım bireylerin hükümet istikrarının önemini kavramalarını sağlamıştır. Türkiye 2010'lu yıllar boyunca da yüksek döviz kurunun getirdiği dış ticaret açığı, yüksek enflasyon ve işsizlik oranları ile mücadele etmiş, kötüleyen ekonomik durum kabinedeki bakanların ve hatta cumhurbaşkanlığı sisteminin değişmesine neden olmuştur. Bu nedenle çalışma, Türkiye için ticari açıklığın politikayla ilgili sonuçları etkileyebileceği ve döviz kurlarındaki değişim ile Türk lirasının değer kaybı aracılığıyla hükümet istikrarsızlığı yaratabileceği sonucuna ulaşmıştır.
