For this purpose Granger Causality Test was used, the results of unit root tests such as Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) and the Philips Perron (PP) were tested and because it’s a time series analysis, unit root and co - integraion tests were applied. At this point lag coefficient was obtained using by Akaike Information Criteria (AIC). Using five different criteria, it was confirmed that the best suited lag period is 2.
