Keywords:
global crisis, fiscal policies, structural VAR, crisis managementAbstract
Even if fiscal policy measures of countries show similarities, these measures have an important role in depth of recession and depression, reestablishment of market confidence and determination of the duration of economic recovery together with stability and elasticity of domestic financial and economic system. In the study, the effects of fiscal policies, which were implemented in Turkey during global crisis, on growth trend of the country in the period of crisis were examined. The effects of fiscal policy shocks on national income were examined through structural VAR system by using the data of the period of 2006-2012 and it was seen that the effects of net tax income and public expenditures in the model on growth was positive. On the basis of empirical findings of the study, it can be said that fiscal policies which were implemented in Turkey during last global crisis partially have growth-increasing effect.Downloads
