Özet:

Abstract In the last 30 years, with the rapid developments in information, production and communication technologies, the share of goods and services in world trade has been constantly increasing. Important developments have been achieved in international service areas such as tourism, construction and contracting services and transportation in turkey. Turkey's international services trade revenues positively affect the current account balance and economic growth. In this study, the relationship between the current account balance and economic growth of international service trade in turkey was analyzed using annual data covering the period 1990-2020. For this, ADF (1970) and DF-GLS unit root tests, Bayer-Hanck cointegration test and Fourier Toda-Yamamoto causality tests were applied. According to the causality analysis findings, it was concluded that there is a one-way causality relationship from growth to services trade and a two-way causality relationship between current account deficit and services trade.
