ISLAMIC FINANCE DEVELOPMENT AND ECONOMIC GROWTH: EMPIRICAL EVIDENCE FROM TURKEY

Journal Title: Türkiye islam iktisadı dergisi - Year 2017, Vol 4, Issue 1

Abstract

This work is a study on Islamic finance development and economic growth nexus for Turkey. It employs the econometric methods of unit root, co-integration, and Granger causality in a VECM framework; and the results, which are robust to all measures of Islamic finance development, show a unidirectional short and long run causality from Islamic finance development to economic growth. Hence, it is recommended that policy makers increase their efforts in promoting Islamic finance in Turkey.
