First, the stationarity of positive and negative shocks related to the current account deficit, budget deficit, and savings gap was tested. As a result of unit root tests, it was concluded that all the positive and negative shocks were I(1). Then, the causal relationship was analyzed with regard to the aforesaid shocks of variables by means of an asymmetric causality test. As a result of the asymmetric causality test, bi-directional causality was found between the current account deficit and the budget deficit and between the current account deficit and savings gap. Therefore, it can be concluded that the triple deficit hypothesis is valid in Turkey.</p>}, number={14}, journal={Eurasian Journal of Business and Economics}, author={AKBAŞ, Yusuf Ekrem and LEBE, Fuat and ZEREN, Fatma}, year={2014}, month={Nov.}, pages={137-154} }
