An essential part of the ongoing normative debate on how to design the cyclical movements of fiscal policy practices argues that counter-cyclical fiscal policies based on the Keynesian view should be preferred to pro-cyclical practices because of their stabilizing effects. In this context, the empirical analysis of the cyclical behavior of fiscal policy is an area that is up to date, first introduced by Gavin and Perotti (1997). The common opinion of empirical studies is that counter-cyclical practices are applied in developed economies; pro-cycle practices are more common in developing and underdeveloped economies. This study examines the cyclical movements of fiscal policy practices in Turkiye from 1990-2020 with the ARDL method. As a result of the study, findings were obtained that Turkiye's fiscal policy practices have a counter-cyclical structure but lose its fiscal space for a maneuver. The robustness tests also support the findings.

Foreign direct investment (FDI) increased globally in the 1980s, parallel to the increasing liberalization of financial markets, the reduction of exchange rate controls, increased capital mobilization, and accelerated technological developments. FDIs offer versatile macro and micro scale positive effects to the host economies. In this context, FDIs have been the focus of academicians and policymakers for reasons such as filling the domestic savings gap, providing financial stability, achieving economic growth targets, and increasing social welfare, which is needed for developing and developed countries. Therefore, governments tend to build attractive investment zones for FDIs by providing tax cuts/advantages and bureaucratic conveniences in financial legislation. In this study, using system-GMM estimator, the effect of FDIs on corporate tax revenues for 35 OECD member countries in the 2005-2020 period was examined and it was understood that the said effect was limited but negative.

Ekonomik büyüme sürecinde devletin rolünü inceleyen çalışmalar ortodoks bir yaklaşımla özellikle kamu harcamaları, gelirleri ve borçlarına odaklanmaktadır. Ancak devletin düzenleyici bir mekanizma olarak regülasyonlar aracılığıyla piyasaları şekillendirmesinin ekonomik büyüme üzerindeki etkisi, bu anlamda hak ettiği ilgiyi görememiştir. Regülasyon, toplumun çıkarlarını önceleyen devletin yasal sınırlamalarla piyasa koşullarını belirleme ve yönlendirme sürecinde başvurduğu araçlar bütünü olarak ifade edilebilmektedir. Öte yandan regülasyonlar yapısı gereği yasa koyucunun tekelinde olup politik çıkarlara göre kullanılmaya açık alanlardır. Dolayısıyla regülasyon uygulamalarının politik çıkarlara göre belirlenmesi, regülasyonlara varoluş amacının tam tersine birey veya grup çıkarlarına hizmet eder bir boyut kazandırmaktadır. Bu nedenle regülasyon politikalarının etkinliği ve kalitesi, regülasyonların asli amacı olan toplumsal çıkarları koruma noktasında belirleyici rol oynamaktadır. Bu çalışma 2000-2020 döneminde panel veri analiz yöntemleriyle hızlı ekonomik büyüme ve benzer makroekonomik dinamiklere sahip BRICS+T ülkelerinde regülasyonların ekonomik büyüme üzerindeki etkisini incelemektedir. Yapılan incelemeler sonucunda de-regülasyon sürecinin ekonomik büyümeyi pozitif yönde etkilediği sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

The impact of public sector debt composition on the private sector is a matter of curiosity. This article explores the crowding-out effect of public debt and public investment on private investment in Turkey from 1975 to 2020, utilising the ARDL method. The findings reveal that public investment, public domestic debt stock, and external debt service create a crowding-out effect; on the other hand, the public external debt stock has a crowding-in effect on private sector investments. In this study, the crowding-out effect of public debt, which has not been directly related to private sector investments in the literature, is tried to be examined.
