Testing The Validity of The Phillips Curve for Turkey With Vector Autoregressive and Markov Switching Models on The Basis of Inflation and Unemployment
İşsizlik ve Enflasyon Çerçevesinde Phillips Eğrisinin Türkiye Üzerindeki Geçerliliğinin Vektör Otoregresif ve Markov Rejim Değişim Modelleriyle Sınanması

Abstract

In this study, we tested the validity of the Phillips Curve for Turkey. We used Markov Switching Model for examine the relationship between two variables in different regime periods, Engle Granger Causality Test for detect the causality between two variables, Johansen Cointegration Test for observe the long term equilibrium relationship and The Impulse Response Analysis and Variance Decomposition Analysis for investigate the explanatory effect of two variables on each other. As a result of the analysis, it was determined that Inflation and Unemployment act together in the short and long term. Between 2010M01 and 2017M10, it was determined that the Phillips Curve is ineffective for Turkey.
