CAUSAL LINKS BETWEEN FOREIGN DIRECT INVESTMENT AND TRADE IN TURKEY


  •  Burcu KIRAN    

Abstract

This paper investigates the empirical evidence on the link between foreign direct investment and trade (export and import) in Turkey over the period from 1992:01 to 2008:04 by using the minimum LM unit root test for stationarity; Granger and Dolado-Lüthkepohl tests for causality. The test results based on the bi-variate VAR model indicate that there is no evidence of causality between foreign direct investment and trade in Turkey.
