The aim of this study is to investigate the trend of Marginal Prospensity to Consume which is important for determining economical policies and predicting the course of economy over the years in Turkey. Based on Keynes’s Absolute Income hypothesis, disposable income is associated with consumption. For this purpose, data covering the final consumption expenditures and disposable income variables between 2006Q1 - 2019Q4 were used. The long-term relationship between the variables which was determined by the Johansen Cointegration test was investigated with the estimator of DOLS (Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares). However, the marginal consumption tendency was not estimated for a single period, but for the 27-quarter period between 2006 - 2019 and 2013-2019, and was intended to analyze its trend over time. When we look at the series consisting of 27 different prospensity of marginal consumption estimated in this way, there is a clear decrease in the level. This observation was tested by Lee Strazicich LM Unit Root Test which allows to structural break. According to the test result, the series has a clear structural break on the level and decreased to a lower level in the period following 2008 economic crisis compared to period before the crisis.
