Sosyoekonomi Journal, 2018

Abstract: This paper examines the relationship between the central government spending (excluding interest payments) and revenue by means of Nonlinear Bounds Testing approach for 1998:Q1-2016:Q4 period. This approach enables us to make a distinction between the positive and negative shocks. Our empirical findings indicate that a positive change in the government spending has a positive impact on the revenue while the positive (negative) changes in the revenue lead to an increase (decrease) in the government spending in the long run. This supports the presence of fiscal synchronization hypothesis in Turkey. Moreover, it seems that there exists an asymmetric effect of changes in the revenue on the government spending in the long run.Classification-JEL:H5, H63, H20.Keywords:Spend-Revenue Nexus, Asymmetry, Fiscal Synchronization, Taxspend.Issue:26(36)
