    Korkmaz, Ozge

    The reforms to be made in relation to the determination of the relationship between inflation rates and loans in a country are very effective in the success of the anti-inflation programs. Within this context, the aim of this study to investigate the impact of utilization rates of consumer loans as well as commercial and corporate credit cards on the volatility of consumer price index (CPI) and producer price index (PPI) in Turkey for the 2005:12-2018:1 period. In this study, the interaction between variables was investigated by using symmetric and asymmetric conditional volatility models. As a result of the study, it was found that the rates of credit use raised the volatility of inflation rates while the use of installment commercial loans and corporate credit cards reduced their volatility.

    The relationship between renewable energy consumption and economic growth The case of Bulgaria

    Can, Hamit; Korkmaz, Ozge

    Purpose The purpose of this study is to investigate the relationship between renewable energy and economic growth of Bulgaria. Design/methodology/approach This study analyzes the relationship between renewable energy and economic growth of Bulgaria for the period 1990-2016, based on annual data, by using the Toda-Yamamoto analysis and Autogressive Distrubuted Lag (ARDL) bound test. This period is characterized by the democratization of the Balkans and several crisis cycles in Bulgaria. Renewable energy consumption (REC, percentage of total final energy consumption), renewable electricity output (REO, percentage of total electricity output) and economic growth (GDP constant 2010 US$) were used. The levels or differences of the variables that are stationary were investigated using the augmented Dickey-Fuller (ADF), Philips-Perron (PP) and Kwiatkowski-Philips-Schmidt-Shin (KPSS) unit root tests. Findings Three different results were obtained from this study. One showed that renewable energy consumption and renewable electricity output are the causes of economic growth. Another result of this study is that economic growth and renewable electricity output are the causes of renewable energy consumption. The last result is that economic growth and renewable energy consumption are not causes of renewable electricity output. There was no long-term relationship between variables. Originality/value This study is an original work for Bulgaria, showing the results of the relationship between renewable energy and economic growth. In line with the results of this study, renewable energy projects related to Bulgaria can be predicted.
