"Empirical Findings on Triplet Deficits Hypothesis: The Case of Turkey" Journal of Economic Cooperation and Development

Abstract

The aim of this study is to investigate the concept of triplet deficits in Turkey between 1980 and 2010. “Dolado-Lütkepohl Granger Causality Analysis” was performed in order to determine the direction of the relationship among the variables. In addition, the Vector Autoregressive (VAR), Variance Decomposition and Impulse-Response analysis were performed to determine the degree to which variables affected each other. The study finds that triplet deficit hypothesis was valid in Turkey over the period of 1980-2010.
