The four different SVAR models are estimated by using quarterly observations of dynamic and contemporaneous relations for the mentioned macroeconomic variables, covering the 2005-2016 period for the Turkish economy. Four different unemployment rates are used in the study to represent the unemployment rate in the Turkish economy, which are overall, young (15-24 age), male and female unemployment rates. Impulse response functions and variance decomposition results obtained from the study show that consumption shocks have a significant impact on both the unemployment rate and the investments, in support of the basic hypothesis that is argued in the study. Investment shocks also have a similar effect on unemployment rates and positive investment shocks have reduced unemployment rates. Moreover, another result obtained in all four models suggests that a shock in consumption increases investment through the accelerator effect. 2017 artículo científico 2424-6166 https://www.redalyc.org/articulo.oa?id=692273661005 10.15388/Ekon.2017.1.10665 en http://www.redalyc.org/revista.oa?id=6922 Ekonomika application/pdf Vilniaus Universitetas Ekonomika (Lituania) Num.1 Vol.96 |
