Özet:

This study aims to examine the relationship between public spending behaviors in Turkey and household consumer spending behaviors for the period 2006-2019. In this context, the study is expected to fill the gap in Turkish literature in terms of econometric model and application. In this scope, three-month data were used and, first of all, the percentages of variables were predicted using the ordinary smallest square method. After the case was estimated, the Granger cause test method was applied based on the Johansen matching test and then the error correction model. Econometric results show that public spending behaviors for the period 2006-2019 in Turkey have an impact on domestic consumer spending behaviors both in the short and long term. The findings support the Keynesian approach and indicate that the financial policy and public spending policy instrument have a great impact on the Turkish economy. Therefore, it is important for financial policy makers to implement their policy practices knowing the existence of such a situation.
