THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CURRENT ACCOUNT BALANCE AND ECONOMIC GROWTH: TURKEY CASE(2003-2015)

Current account deficit is one of the most significant macroeconomic issues for Turkey like all the world countries. Also, the high ratio of current account deficit to gross domestic product is accepted as a leading indicator of a crisis. Taking into account all of these, the relationship between cu...

After Impulse-Response Analysis, Variance Decomposition Method is used in order to decide how many percent of change arise from itself and how many percent of change arise from other variables. According to Variance Decomposition Method, tenth term current account balance is arise from itself 84,6 percent and from economic growth 15,4 percent. Likewise, tenth term economic growth is arise from itself 87 percent and from current account balance 13 percent.
