ÖgeExplaining Foreign Direct Investment Inflows To Turkey: Using Time-series And Augmented Gravity Model Estimations(Institute of Social Sciences, 2017) Şenzeybek, Murat ; Kayaoğlu Yılmaz, Ayşegül ; 486148 ; Economics ; İktisatForeign Direct Investment (FDI) is a very important economic indicator for a country, especially for a developing one. It does not only provide jobs and value addition for the host country, but also creates a positive spillover effect and know-how transfer to it. Hence, it is not surprising that researches find a positive effect of FDI on economic growth and development of host countries. As a developing country with a current account deficit problem, Turkey aims to be a more attractive place for foreign investors as it can be seen from its medium-term economic program. Therefore, understanding the factors behind the FDI inflows to Turkey is an important topic both for academia and policy-makers. However, it seems that there is not enough research about the determinants of FDI inflow to Turkey in the literature. Moreover, to best of our knowledge, none of these researches used Gravity Model to analyze the determinants of FDI inflow and they rather used outdated data sources when they analyzed this question empirically. Hence, we firstly employed Gravity Model to explain determinants of FDI inflow to emerging countries and Turkey. Secondly, to investigate whole period after globalization of the country, we used time series model by using data from 1980 to 2014. Our findings for emerging countries show that distance between host and source country has significant and negative relationship with FDI inflow like it has been found for the trade flows in the literature. Furthermore, when GDP of host or source country is higher, FDI flow between these two countries is getting increased
