Türkiye’de Petrol Fiyatları, İhracat ve Reel Döviz Kuru İlişkisi: ARDL Sınır Testi Yaklaşımı ve Dinamik Nedensellik Analizi

Abstract

This paper aims to estimate export for Turkey function by using export, real oil prices, real exchange rate, foreign real income and relative export price applying ARDL methodology and Granger causality tests by using quarterly data for the period 1987-2010. The results suggest that there is a long-run relationship between export and its determinants. In the long run, a one percent increase in real foreign income leads to a 5.93 percent improvement in export, while a one percent increase in real exchange rate deteriorates 0.61 percent in export. Relative export price is not found statistically significant in the long run. The effect of the real price of oil on export is estimated to be positive and statistically significant with an elasticity of 0.22. This results implies that exports do not suffer from the increase in the price of oil for examined period. The result of Granger causality indicates that there is a bidirectional causality between oil prices-relative export price and foreign real income-export which infers that Turkey's export is more sensitive to external economic developments.
