TÜRKİYE’DE GİBSON ÇELİŞKİSİNİN GEÇERLİLİĞİ: EKONOMETRİK BİR ANALİZ (1970-2009)
Abstract :
The aim of this study is to test the validity of Gibson Paradox for Turkish economy. In the study, covering 1970-2009 period, consumer price index and nominal interest rate are used. The relationships between price level and interest rate are analyzed econometrically by employing Johansen cointegration analysis and error correction model. According to the results, there is a positive and statistically significant relationship between interest rate and price level in the long run. Furthermore, error correction-augmented Granger causality tests show that bi-directional causality exists between price level and interest rate. As a result, all analyses made in the study reflect that Gibson Paradox is also valid for Turkey.
