Bu çalışmanın amacı, özellikle 1980 sonrasında sermaye akımlarına serbestlik getiren Türkiye ekonomisindeki doğrudan yabancıyatırım ve ekonomik büyüme arasındaki nedensellik ilişkisini ortaya koymaktır. Bu amaçla büyüme ve doğrudan yabancıyatırım arasındaki nedenselliğin varlığıve yönü ile ilgili hipotezleri test etmek için Granger nedensellik analizi kullanılmıştır. 1992:1 ve 2006:3 dönemini kapsayan 3 aylık verilerin kullanıldığıbu çalışmada, Türkiye’de doğrudan yabancıyatırımlardan ekonomik büyümeye doğru bir nedensellik bulunmuştur. Yani doğrudan yabancıyatırımlar ile ekonomik büyüme arasında tek yönlü bir ilişki vardır ve bu ilişkinin yönü doğrudan yabancıyatırımlardan ekonomik büyümeye doğrudur.

THE CAUSALITY RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN ECONOMIC GROWTH AND FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT IN TURKEY

The aim of this study is to explore the causality relationship between Foreign Direct Investment and economic growth in Turkey, which has liberalized foreign capital inflows especially after 1980s. Granger causality analysis was used in order to test the hypotheses about the presence of causality between Foreign Direct Investment and Economic Growth. The study, which used the quarterly data covering the period between 1992:1 and 2006:3, showed causality relationship from Foreign Direct Investment to Economic Growth in Turkey. In other words, there is a one-way relationship between Foreign Direct Investment and Economic Growth and the direction of this relationship is from Foreign Direct Investment to Economic Growth
