In the economic growth literature, there has been a lot of emphasis on institutional factors in explaining the growth differences between countries. One of these institutional factors is political stability, which strongly reflects the common thought-behavior habits of countries. Because political stability is crucial in making economic activities sustainable in both developed and developing countries. The main purpose of this study is to examine political stability-economic growth nexus in Turkey for the period of 1984-2017 by using time series analysis techniques. The empirical findings are as follows: (a) analyzed variables exhibit unit root process, while they are stationary at their first difference, (b) according to the cointegration test results, there is a long-run relationship among variables, (c) according to the long-run parameter estimation, political stability investments and consumption expenditures have a positive effect on economic growth, whereas government expenditures negative. In this context, measures and policies for ensuring the sustainability of political stability in Turkey will positively affect economic growth in Turkey.
