Türkiye'deki Tüketici Güven Endeksi ile Döviz Kuru Arasındaki İlişkinin Ampirik Analizi

Bu çalışmanın amacı, döviz kuru ile tüketici güven endeksi arasındaki kısa ve uzun dönemli ilişkilerin incelenmesidir. Çalışmada, tüketici güven endeksi ve dolar satış kuru olmak üzere toplam iki değişken ele alınmış ve analiz kapsamında her bir değişken için 2003:12-2011:12 dönemini içeren aylık frekansta 95 adet gözlemden oluşan veri seti kullanılmıştır. Tüketici güven endeksi olarak Türkiye İstatistik Kurumu (TUİK) ve Türkiye Cumhuriyeti Merkez Bankası (TCMB) tarafından hazırlanan endeks esas alınmıştır. Döviz kuru olarak ise, Dolar satış kurunun aylık ortalama değeri alınmıştır. Elde edilen ampirik bulgular incelendiğinde, Türkiye'de incelenen dönem arasında tüketici güven endeksi ile döviz kuru arasında hem uzun hem de kısa dönemde bir ilişkinin olduğu görülmektedir. Ulaşılan bu bulgular, döviz kurunun tüketicilerin ekonominin geleceğine yönelik beklentilerini şekillendiren faktörlerden birisi olduğu şeklinde yorumlanabilir.

Empirical Analysis of the Relationship between Consumer Confidence Index and Exchange Rate in Turkey

The aim of this study is to examine the short and long term relations between exchange rate and consumer confidence index. In the study, two variables in total are discussed as consumer confidence index and dollar selling rate and a data set consisting of 95 observations in a monthly frequency spanning the 2003:12-2011:12 period is applied for each variable within the analysis. The consumer confidence index is based on the index prepared by Turkey Statistics Institution (TSI) and Republic of Turkey Central Bank (RTCB). As for exchange rate the monthly average value of the Dollar selling rate is taken as basis. Examined the empirical findings obtained, it is observed that there is both a short-term and a long-term relation between consumer confidence index and exchange rate within the period investigated in Turkey. The findings can be interpreted in a way as that the exchange rate is one of the factors that shape consumers' expectations regarding the future of the economy.
