Türkiye'de Finansal Gelişme ile Ticari Serbestleşmenin Büyümeye Etkisi

Ticaretin ve finansın önündeki engelleri azaltıp dışa açılan ekonomilerin içe dönük ekonomilere göre daha hızlı büyüme kaydettiğine vurgu yapan neoliberal yaklaşımlar, gerek politika yapıcıların gereksearaştırmacılarınyoğunilgisini çekmektedir. Söz konusu ilgi temelinde gerçekleştirilen bu çalışma, neoliberal yaklaşımı destekle-yen bulgular ortaya koymaktadır. Çalışmada 1980-2010 döneminde Türkiye ekonomisinde ticari serbestleşme, finansal gelişme ve büyüme değişkenleri arasındaki ilişki sorgulanmıştır. Bu amaca dönük olarak Johansen eş-bütünleşme testleri ile Dinamik En Küçük Kareler Yöntemi (DOLS) ve Düzeltilmiş En Küçük Kareler Yöntemi (FMOLS) uygulanmıştır. Johansen testi sonuçlarına göre değişkenler arasında bir eşbütünleşme ilişkisi bulun-maktadır. Bir başka ifade ile finansal gelişme ve ticari serbestleşme, ülkenin büyüme performansını belirleyen güçlü birer faktördür. Diğer taraftan DOLS ve FMOLS testleri,ticariserbestleşmeninbüyüme üzerindeki etkisi-nin finansal serbestleşmenin büyüme üzerindeki etkisinden daha güçlü olduğu göstermektedir.
