very important in terms of economic growth that makes it an important issue in
order to achieve economy policy targets.

rates and investment rates will be investigated in the context of Feldstein –
Horioka (1980) puzzle for the Turkish economy for the period from 1980 to 2015.
Findings- Empirical findings
show that variables have unit roots. Results obtained from Bai – Perron (2003)
co-integration test which taking structural breaks into considiration show that
there is a structural break in 1999 and the time span is taken into two
sub-period. According to test results, the investigated relation between
investments and savings is weak in the first period (1980 – 1998), while it is
stronger in the second period starts from 1999 till 2015.
