Abstract
This paper examines the causal relationship between budget deficit and current account deficit, and the direction of causality for Turkey. Keynesian view accepts the possible relationship between the budget deficit and current account deficit, while Ricardian Equivalance Hypothesis rejects this relationship. The validity of these hypothesis examined between 1994-2010 period using monthly data and Granger causality test. The Granger causality test indicates one-way causality that runs from current account deficit to budget deficit. The empirical analysis in this paper supports the Keynesian view that there is a linkage between budget deficit and current account deficit.

1 Introduction
After the oil crises of the 1970s, profoundly affecting the world economy in the USA, many of the country, in the early 1980s a large budget deficit and current account deficit to remain faced with the problem, has led to intensification of research on twins explains.Twin defined as an open relationship between budget deficit and current account deficit, particularly in attempts to maintain macroeconomic stability in the process of economic growth for the economies of developing countries has been an important policy issue. In recent years, especially in developing countries with current account and budget deficits increased rapidly in the debate and many studies have been conducted on this issue.

In the literature on the twin hypothesis, the relationship between budget deficit and current account deficit, which the Keynesian approach and the relationship between these two there is an open advocate of Ricardian equivalence hypothesis is discussed in the context. Empirical studies focusing on the twin on the budget deficit and current account deficit (trade deficit) by examining the relationship between the Keynesian vision, or tried to test the validity of Ricardian Equivalence Hypothesis. However, studies of this relationship very different results were obtained in the presence and direction. The findings, examined the country, the research period, the method used and the data set that shows sensitivity. In addition, in countries where the macroeconomic conditions, especially the fragility of the country's economy and the most important elements in determining the direction of this relationship is prone to crisis.
Turkey is a developing country in the 1980s began the process of structural transformation of the problems with the budget deficit and current account deficit continues to exist for a long time. Especially in the large budget deficits during the 1990s and 2000s, despite high growth rates in the high current account deficits azaltılamayan, who lived in the crises of 1994 and 2001 and 2008 financial crisis, the negative effects of the Earth deeply felt in Turkey's economy more questioning of the relationship between budget deficits and current account deficit essential. This study, therefore, during the period 1994:1-2010:8 using monthly data and the VAR model underlying the Granger causality test, in Turkey, and the validity of the twin budget and current account deficit hypothesis explains the causal relationship between the studied explored. Working in two parts. In the first part of the study, the twin dimensions of theoretical and empirical literature on approaches to open the hypothesis are mentioned. In the second part, the findings obtained after the application of econometric methods are introduced and evaluated.

Section 2 concerns relevant theoretical and empirical researches of …. Section 3 outlines the econometric approach which includes data and variables, unit root tests, causality tests and vector autoregressive model. Section 4 outlines empirical results of our models. Finally, section 5 concludes.

 2 Literature Review
In developed countries, and particularly among developing countries in attempts to maintain macroeconomic stability, rising budget deficits and current account deficits that accompany it, the last two decades, the twin on the issue of increased interest and many empirical studies done on this issue has been a pioneer.

In the literature, in order to explain the relationship between budget deficit and current account deficit are two basic approaches. The first approach, Keynesian Mundell-Fleming model, associated with (traditional) approach. According to the Keynesian approach, there is a positive relationship between budget deficit and current account deficit and budget deficit, foreign trade deficit of causality is correct. Twin clear hypothesis, that is, caused by an increase in budget deficits, current account deficit thesis is based on the Keynesian view. According to the Keynesian view, the occurrence of an increase in budget deficits, public sector borrowing and an increase in demand on the rise in domestic interest rates lead foreign interest rate. Flows of capital flows in response to higher interest rate domestically, leads to the appreciation of national currency (the relative prices of foreign goods is getting cheaper and increased propensity to import) and foreign trade deficit in the final of this situation (the current account deficit) results (Islam, 1998:122-123; Arize and Malindretos, 2008:4; Erdogan and Booth, 2009:138). 

The second approach to the relationship between the two on the current account deficit could lead to budget deficits in the Keynesian approach, proposed by rejecting the hypothesis is based on the Ricardian equivalence hypothesis. For the first time in Barro (1974) proposed by the Ricardian equivalence hypothesis, according to a causal relationship between budget deficit and current account deficit is not. According to this approach, which reduces public revenues and public savings, and an expanding budget deficit, tax cuts, tax increases in coming years to meet an expected increase private savings, the same amount. Giving a positive response to changes in savings in the budget deficit, causing the trade deficit unchanged. Similarly, public expenditures to be financed by borrowing, the economic future for individuals to finance the public budget deficit, taxes will increase the waiting, so that individuals increase their savings to meet future tax increases.As a result, a change in the composition of public financing (debt or taxes) and real interest rates, aggregate demand, private spending, foreign exchange or has no effect on the current account balance. In other words, the causal relationship between the two on the lack of support of Ricardian equivalence hypothesis (Arize and Malindretos, 2008:4; Erdogan and Booth, 2009:138; Vyshnyak, 2000:16-17).

Applied studies in the literature, for the Keynesian or the economies of countries consists of studies to demonstrate the validity of Ricardian equivalence Hipotezleri'nin. Empirical studies in the context of a causal relationship between budget and trade deficit, likely to be classified according to four situation. The first case, the budget deficit, foreign trade deficit of causality is correct, Keynesian contact consists of supporting trials, the foreign trade deficit budget deficit in the second case to emphasize the existence of reverse causality works are included. According to the third situation, the trade deficit and budget deficit are two-way causality. These three cases in the literature, the existence of a causal relationship between budget and current account deficit to demonstrate the Keynesian response. In the fourth case, the absence of causality relationship between budget deficit and current account deficit, Ricardian equivalence hypothesis consists of supporting studies.

Initial studies in the 1980s often lived experience of a large budget deficit and current account deficit on the U.S. economy, while the current account deficit of causality budget deficits have reached the correct conclusions supporting the Keynesian view (Bahmani-Oskooee, 1989; Latif-Zaman, and Dacosta, 1990; Abell, 1990 ; Bachman, 1992). Bahmani-Oskooee (1989), the effect on the U.S. budget deficit, current account deficit for the period 1973-1985 using quarterly data examined, restores a contribution towards the budget deficit, current account deficit has reached the evidence supports the Keynesian view. Bernheim (1988), where the five countries in trade relations with the United States and open to the twin study examined the hypothesis that the traditional horizontal-sectional regression using the technique of budget deficits and current account deficits of at least one-third part be explained by the conclusion reached (Leachman and Francis, 2002:1122). Abell (1990), twin open the hypothesis that the U.S. economy for the period 1979-85 examined using a VAR analysis. The findings support the hypothesis that the twin on the budget deficit and trade deficit have shown that the current effect is indirect, not direct.According to the results of causality and action-reaction analysis, the underlying transport mechanism between the two light takes place through interest rate and exchange rate. Latif-Zaman, and Dacosta (1990) using data from the quarterly period 1971:1-1983:3 the budget deficit and trade deficit the causal relationship between the two variables studied on the basis of Granger-causality approach, the Keynesian approach to the U.S. economy during this period suggested by the current hypothesis on twin reached the conclusion that. According to the findings of causality, while the budget deficit to trade deficit, foreign trade deficit to budget deficit, there is proof of reverse causality. Bachman (1992) study uses VAR analysis, the U.S. budget deficits, current account deficits have reached the conclusion that the most important determinant.Diboglu (1997) the relationship between the U.S. budget deficit-the current account deficit during the period 1960-1994 using monthly data and the VAR model has examined the budget deficit affects the current account deficit has reached to the evidence supporting the hypothesis that open for the twins. 

Leachman and Francis (2002), using both conventional cointegration and multiple co-integration analysis II. After World War I (1948-1992) for the U.S. economy before the collapse of the twin on the hypothesis that the Bretton-Woods (1948:1-1973:4) and after (1974:1-1992:2), separated by periods examined. The results, applied to a fixed exchange rate does not apply 1948:1-1973:4 sub-period shows a long-term relationship with the twin open, flexible exchange rate regime on the twin supports the hypothesis that the period 1974:1-1992:2 is applied. According to the findings of causality is true that budget deficits current account deficits. Grier and Ye (2009) study that takes into account the structural breaks, the U.S. economy, budget deficits, a significant positive impact on the current account deficit reached only in the short term.


Twin clear whether the current hypothesis for the economy of many countries outside of the U.S. economy was also examined. This is one of the key studies Vamvoukas (1999), Greece's economy for the period 1948-1994 the validity of the Keynesian and Ricardian equivalence Hipotezleri'nin tested empirically. Using cointegration and Granger causality analysis of the study, both short-and long-term budget deficit on the trade deficit showed a strong causal effect. According to the findings support the Keynesian view of foreign trade deficit, budget deficits true one-way causality. Results, Greece's economy is contributing to reduce the budget deficit, current account deficit-reducing policies. Vyshnyak (2000), the Ukrainian economy for the long-term relationship between the budget deficit and current account deficit is valid during the period 1995-1999 using monthly data and the cointegration and Granger causality tests have shown. According to the findings as significant in explaining changes in the budget deficit past values ​​of the current account deficit, the transfer is through the exchange rate. Piersanti (2000), 17 OECD countries during the period 1970-1997 the dynamic relationship between budget deficits and current account deficit and examined using Granger causality and the generalized method of moments. The findings are strongly associated with current account deficits show that large budget deficits. Steel & Marine (2009), including Turkey, six emerging market economy (Brazil, Mexico, Colombia, Czech Republic and South Africa), 1996Q1-2006Q4 period, using a twin-panel co-integration analysis has found clear results support the hypothesis. Also working in developing countries the relationship between budget deficits-current account deficit, external factors (short-term capital flows, exchange rate fluctuations and volatility in interest rates) may be affected depending on the stresses on the subject (Steel and Marine, 2009).

Studies support the Keynesian view towards the budget deficit, foreign trade deficit, one-way causality, while highlighting some of the other studies, the current account deficit is evidence that budget deficits are the correct one-way causality. According to this approach, the current account deficit increases as a result of economic growth, and indirectly leads to budget deficits. This type of study is highly dependent on capital flows, especially the small and developing countries is valid samples. For example, Latin American and Southeast Asian countries, this situation can be observed in the presence of (Baharumshah et al, 2006).Baharumshah et al. (2006), Indonesia, Malaysia, the Philippines, and Thailand-for the VAR model, using the budget deficit, current account deficit (trade deficit) of the relationship. According to the results of the analysis, the long-term relationship between the budget deficit and current account deficit is valid, but the strength of this relationship varies by country. Results for Thailand only to reveal causality, predict the current budget deficits, Indonesia, the current account deficit for the budget deficit, evidence of causality has been reached (Baharumshah et al., 2006:338). Kearney and Monadjemi (1990), Ramchander (1998), Alkswani (2000) 'The current studies aimed to test the hypothesis that the VAR method, the twin open. As a result of findings from these studies, the current account deficit is the budget deficit is that a correct causality. One of Sri Lanka from other developing countries, viewing, and Saleh Chowdhury (2007), positive and strong relationship between the 1970-2005 period, found that two open, so the results support the Keynesian view (and Saleh Chowdhury, 2007:13-18). 

In some other studies in the literature, two-way causality between the two open-work consists of providing evidence to. Islam (1998), Brazil's foreign trade and budget deficit for the period examined the causal relationship between 1973Q1-1991Q4, and concluded that two-way causality between the two open. Arize and Malindretos (2008), the trade deficit and budget deficit for the 1973:2-2005:4 period, examined the relationship between the 10 African countries.Both cointegration and causality analysis applied to both working towards a two-way causality has reached a solid evidence.Pahlavani and Saleh (2009), a small open economy, the twin to the Philippine economy during 1970-2005 Toda-Yamamoto causality test, using the hypothesis examined. Results in this country, two-way causality between budget deficits and current account deficits have reached for the existence of evidence.
In the last situation encountered in the literature, a causal relationship between budget and current account deficit, refused to support the work consists of Ricardian equivalence hypothesis.Miller and Russen (1989), Enders and Lee (1990) and Kaufman et al. (2002) studies, no causal relationship between budget deficits and current account deficit is not found. 

The studies reached different findings for Turkey. Akbostancı and Bronze (2002) and Rich (2000) in studies where causality between budget deficit and trade deficit (budget deficit on foreign trade right), Faik Bilgili and Emine Bilgili (1998) not make an impact on the budget deficit, current account deficit had reached the conclusion . Akbostancı and Bronze (2002), cointegration and error correction model using the techniques of the period of 1987-2001 quarterly budget deficit, trade deficit, industrial production index, using data on narrowly defined money supply, budget deficit and trade deficit has addressed the interaction between. Results, the long-term mutual interaction exists between the two open, short-term budget deficit in the commercial release of causality show that accurate. Rich (2000), the budget deficit and foreign trade deficit for the period 1987-1998 the relationship between three-month budget deficit, current account deficit, money supply (M2) examined the relationship between the VAR model and using the findings support the hypothesis that twins reached the open. Faik Bilgili and Emine Bilgili (1998), U.S., Singapore and Turkey, data movement for the period 1975-1993 with the help of regression analysis examined the relationship between the two open. Results for each country shows that there is an impact on the budget deficit, current account deficit (Moon et al, 2004:78). Triumphant (2003), twin open the validity of the hypothesis for Turkey during 1950-2000, cointegration, error correction model, and examined using causality analysis. Implementation findings support the Keynesian hypothesis on the twin direction. According to the results, the long-term relationship between the two is two-way open (We simply provide, 2003:53-57). Moon et al. (2004), 1992-2003 period, using Granger causality analysis of the long-term relationship between two clear conclusion can be reached We simply provide two-way (2003) 's work supported. Keynesian causality test results, contact stresses are supported. On the other hand, Aksu and Basar (2005), between the years 1989-2003 using monthly data using the method of analysis had two clear relationship between the VAR and found that budget deficits affect trade deficits (Aksu and Awesome, 2005:109-114). Erdinc (2008), for the period 1950-2005 examined the relationship between the twin open for Turkey, a long-term relationship between the proposed budget and current account deficit has revealed evidence pertinent to the Keynesian approach. Findings, the budget deficit to current account deficit is one-way causality. 

3 Econometric Approach
The applied data source is Turkey Statistics Institue (TÜİK) and Central Bank of Republic of Turkey (TCMB). The data contains the series between 1994 and 2010 which have the values for the first four months of each year, so each series has 68 values. We determined three variables for our models and they are the proportion of budget deficit in gross domestic products (BD), the real exchange rate (RER) and the proportion of current deficit in gross domestic products (CD).

First of all, we performed Augmented Dickey-Fuller tests for the series to check the presence of unit roots. Then, we tested causality of the series and finally designed vector autoregressive (VAR) model for the series.

3.1 Unit Root Tests
Stationary series are necessary for analyzing them in time series models. So, before modeling data, we checked presence of unit root for each series by using of Augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF) test. As seen in Table 1, 2 and 3; the series BD has no unit root but the series RER and CD have unit root at original levels. As a result of this, we took the first difference of the series RER and CD to make them stationary. Correlograms of the series in Graph 2 support the results of ADF tests in Table 1, 2 and 3. Consequently, we use the original series BD and the first differences of the series RER and CD (D(RER) and D(CD)) in our models. See Graph 1 for the time series lines of the all original and differenced series. Also in Graph 1, it could be supported that the series we used in model are all stationary.

According to resulst of Granger causality tests, as seen in Table 4, there is no pairwise causality releationship between the series BD and D(RER). However, there is one way causality from BD to D(CD) at .05 level and also there is one way causality from D(RER) to D(CD) at .10 level. In other words, BD causes D(CD) and D(RER) causes D(CD) in respect of Granger test. As a result, we put order the series as BD→D(RER)→D(CD).

3.3 VAR model
We selected lag order 4 for our VAR model according to Akaike information criteria (AIC). And also, sequential modified LR test statistic determines lag order 4. Shortly, we use VAR(4) model for our series.

It can be seen in Table 5 that there is no autocarrelation and according to Table 6, there is no heteroskedasticity problem in our model. In addition, inverse roots of the model are welldone as seen in Graph 3.


4 Empirical Results
Graph 4 shows impulse-response functions of the series. Impulse-response graph show that resulting one unit shock in the one of the series is responsed by the other series.

Graph 4: Impolse- Response functions


The response of D(RER) is positive to one unit shock in BD. After the period 3, this effect of D(RER) is disappearing. The response of D(CD) is negative to one unit shock in BD. After period 3, this effect of D(RER) is becoming positive and after period 6, disappearing. The response of D(CD) is negative to one unit shock in D(RER). After period 4, this effect of D(CD) is becoming positive and after period 6, disappearing.

In Table 7, 8 and 9; it can be seen the variance decomposition of BD, D(RER) and D(CD) respectively.

According to Table 7, while the series BD is first effected by own lagged values amoung ten periods, the effectives of the other series are not considerable. The effective of D(CD) picks up after period 5 and after that it has equal effective with D(RER) in the other periods.

In Table 8, the series D(RER) is effected by own lagged values amoung ten periods. The series D(CD) is more effective than the series BD. The effect of D(CD) is higher than 10 percent after period 5 while the effect of BD is almost same for all ten periods.

In Table 9, the series D(CD) is effected by own lagged values amoung ten periods. The series D(RER) is more effective than the series BD. The effect of D(RER) is higher than 14 percent after period 5 and growing up while the effect of BD is picks up after period 4 and goes on equal amoung 10 period.
































5 Conlusion
While the Keynesian approach emphasizes that internal deficit would co-exist with external deficit and would be equal to it; the Ricardian Equivilance that came to the fore with Barro’s 1974 paper, argues that above mentioned Keynesian result may not be obtained due to the Ricardian Equivilance that came to the fore with Barro’s 1974 paper, argues that above mentioned Keynesian result may not be obtained due to an alteration in household saving behaviour.
In this study,the relationship between budget deficits and current account deficits in Turkey for 1994-2010 periodis examined with annual data by using recently developed time series econometric tecniques such as thecointegration analysis and Granger Causality Test. In cointegration analysis, it is found that there is along run relationship between budget deficits and current account deficits. This conclusion supports theConventional Keynesian Theory. Moreover, according to Granger causality tests results, the causality runs from budget deficits to current account deficit
