Master Thesis Financial development and economic growth: Turkish case(2016) Bakhtiar, Adnan Taleb Bakhtiar.The causal relationship between financial development and economic growth is a long debated and widely researched topic in the literature. Theoretically, the arguments on this causality range from no relationship to bidirectional causality and the past empirical research provide conflicting results as well. Thus no consensus could have been reached yet, both theoretically and empirically. This research thesis is aimed to contribute to the controversial evidence on the causal relationship between financial development and economic growth by focusing on Turkey as the case study. In this respect, the validity of Supply Leading, Demand Following and Bidirectional Causality Hypotheses which consist the mainstream views on the causality of this relationship, are investigated by applying time series analysis for the period 1988:Q1-2015:Q2. In the analyses, real gross domestic product (GDP) growth rate is used to measure economic growth and broad money supply to GDP ratio, market capitalization to GDP ratio, central bank assets to GDP ratio and deposits in banks to GDP ratio are used as the proxies to measure financial development. The findings obtained from the Johansen Co-Integration and Vector Error Correction Model (VECM) tests indicate that the relationship between financial development and economic growth mainly runs from financial development to economic growth both in the short and the long-run.
