Özet
The main objective of this paper is to test whether there exists a causal linkage between government size and economic growth for Turkey over the period 1961 and 2016. To this end, the ARDL bounds test and Toda-Yamamoto (1995) Granger-causality tests are used. Empirical findings show that there is a cointegra-tion relationship between the two variables. The findings also yield different results changing in accordance with the proxy measure used for the size of government. Regarding government spending related proxy measures, there is a one-way causality running from government size to economic growth that confirm the validity of the Keynesian‘s view on the government spending-growth nexus. However, when tax related proxy measures are considered, the results partially differ. Accordingly, in case of direct taxes, there is one-way causality running from direct taxes to economic growth but when it comes to indirect taxes, this causal relationship reverses, running from economic growth to indirect taxes.
