Growth and Inflation in Turkey

Alkan, Berkay (2021): Growth and Inflation in Turkey.

Abstract

In this paper I investigate the empirical relationship between economic growth (as measured by growth in real GDP) and inflation in Turkey. We use a relatively large dataset spanning from 1960 to 2020. Our correlation analysis indicates that the nature of the relationship between inflation and unemployment in Turkey is substantially different before and after early 1980s.
