Public expenditures have a two-way effect on private sector investment expenditures: crowding out and crowding in. Classical and Keynesian economists argue the case for and against crowding-out, respectively. Testing the crowding out effect of public expenditures on private sector investment expenditures is important for the effectiveness of fiscal policies. In this study, the Fourier approach, a new method that can detect soft structural breaks, is used by using data between 1975 ando 2018. The findings of the study show that %1 increase in public sector investments reduces private sector investments by 2.98%. A one-way causality is observed from public fixed investment to private sector fixed capital invesments. The findings confirm the crowding-out effect suggested by classical economists and demonstrate the importance of promoting private sector investment.
