ANALYSIS OF RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN TOURISM INCOME AND ECONOMIC GROWTH BY SYMMETRIC AND ASYMMETRIC CAUSALITY APPROACHES: THE CASE OF TURKEY

16875

This study tests the relationship between tourism income and economic growth in Turkey by employing linear and non-linear time series causality and asymmetric causality analysis developed by Hatemi-J (2012). In this study, we employ annual data belonging 1963–2010 time period. Empirical results obtained from symmetric causality analyses imply that there is a linear causation linkage between economic growth and tourism income running from tourism income to economic growth. The findings obtained from asymmetric causality analysis also indicate that the direction of causality is from tourism income to economic growth.
