Özet:

Focusing on the factors which affecting FDI inflows remain as a motivating issue for researchers. In the literature, the political stability level recognized as an important location advantage for host countries that aiming to attract foreign investment. The aim of this study is testing the relationship between political stability and foreign direct investment inflows empirically in Turkey and to obtain better results that support this relationship. For this purpose, quarterly data for the period of 1998Q1-2019Q4 are used. Stationarity of the series is tested using ADF and Fourier ADF unit root tests. All variables are found to be stationary when their initial differences are taken. The existence of the cointegration relationship between the series is investigated with the Fourier ADL cointegration test. The findings reveal a positive relationship between political stability and foreign direct investments in Turkey. Policy recommendations for the Turkish economy are presented within the framework of empirical findings.
