Why Turkish growth ended: An institutional perspective

Acemoglu, Daron, Üçer, Murat, (2015), “Why Turkish growth ended: An institutional perspective”, Voxeu, 18 Νοεμβρίου

Following an anaemic performance with severe imbalances in the 1990s and a debilitating financial crisis in 2001, Turkey enjoyed a period of rapid economic growth. Since about 2007 onwards, however, economic growth has slowed significantly and productivity growth has stagnated. This column argues that, rather than providing another example of the ‘stop-and-go’ cycles typical of emerging economies, the Turkish economy’s ups and downs during this era reflect institutional improvements in the immediate aftermath of its financial crisis, followed by an ominous slide in the quality of these economic and political institutions.
