IMPACT OF GDP GROWTH ON UNEMPLOYMENT DURING THE EXPANSION PERIODS: A STUDY ON OKUN’S LAW FOR TURKEY

Year 2015, Issue: 46, 84 - 95, 14.10.2015

Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze the relation between unemployment rate and Gross Domestic Product, as it is postulated in the Okun’s law. In this study, Gross Domestic Product is divided into two parts by approaching from a different perspective such as gross capital formation of investment and final consumption expenditure as a contribution to the earlier studies. A dummy variable is also added in the model, which represents the periods of expansion in the Gross Domestic Product. According to the results of analyses, existence of the co-integration is confirmed in the long-run between variables. There is a negative and significant relation between unemployment and years of expansion in the short run. The Vector Error Correction Model also unveils that disequilibrium in the model will gravitate toward the balance each period

GENİŞLEME DÖNEMLERİNDE GSYH BÜYÜMESİNİN İŞSİZLK ÜZERİNE ETKİSİ: OKUN YASASINA DAİRE TÜRKİYE İÇİN BİR ÇALIŞMA

Year 2015, Issue: 46, 84 - 95, 14.10.2015

Abstract

Bu çalışmanın amacı, Okun Yasası varsayıldığı haliyle işsizlik ve GSYH arasındaki ilişkiyi analiz etmektir. Benzer
çalışmalara katkı sağlamak üzere bu çalışmada GSYH farklı bir bakış açısıyla, gayrisafi sabit sermaye yatırımları ve nihati
tüketim harcamaları olarak iki ana başlıktan oluşmuştur. Oluşturulan modele ayrıca ekonomideki genişleme dönemlerini temsil
etmek üzere bir kukla değişken dahil edilmiştir. Analiz bulgularına gore, değişkenler arasında uzun dönemde eşbütünleşme
olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Kısa dönemde ise işsizlik ve kukla değişken genişleme dönemleri arasında negative bir ilişki
gözlenmiştir. Hata Düzeltme Modeli modeldeki dengesizliğin her bir dönem dengeye doğru ilerlediğini ortaya koymaktadır.
