Özet:

Due to the global developments after 1980 in Turkey, there have been significant structural transformations in the economy and these transformations have had macroeconomic repercussions in different dimensions. In light of the developments in the Turkish Economy, the effects of structural reforms on Turkey's macroeconomic performance have been tried to be measured. The aim of the study is to test the ARDL (Autoregressive Distributed Lag) boundary (Bound) test to investigate the effect of structural transformation on individual well-being. In this study, using the annual data of Turkey for the years 1990-2020, macroeconomic variables that will affect the GDP per capita (gdppc) Current Account Balance (Current), Human Development Index (hdi) Political Rights Index (pr) Gross Fixed Capital. The short- and long-term relationships between the occurrence (Gdi) variables and the independent variables were analyzed. The findings obtained in the study show that the coefficients of all variables are significant at the 1% significance level for a long period of time and only the political rights index variable is negative, which has the decisive effect on Gross Domestic Product Per Capita Growth (GDPPC) among the variables. It has been concluded that the surplus variable is the current account balance. On the other hand, according to the error correction coefficient in the short term, it was concluded that the effect of the shock that occurred in the short term will be re-balanced in about 7-8 months and that the estimates of the coefficient contained in the model are largely significant. As a result, in the study, it has been determined that political, social and economic transformations have a positive effect on per capita income. In addition, the importance of correctly identifying Turkey's structural problems and implementing the necessary structural reforms quickly and decisively was emphasized.
