Current Account and Financial Account Cyclicality: Evidence from Turkey
(2009)Department of Economics
- Abstract
- This study analyzes fluctuations in the current account, financial account and their main components in Turkey between 1984 and 2007. Two Stage Least Squares method is used and the empirical model is built up on the base of the study of Clausen and Kandil (2005). Real output growth, price inflation, real effective exchange rates, oil prices, global output growth and European output growth are used as explanatory variables. The estimation results indicate that the empirical model is sufficient to explain cyclicality in the current account balance, in its components and in the financial account balance. However, the model is not sufficient to estimate the changes in financial inflows and outflows. The findings from the estimations report... (More)
