This study has two main aims: to test the validity of the BARS curve in Turkey for the period 1974-2016 and to estimate the optimal government size for that period and compare it with the current situation. It uses the Autoregressive Distributed Lag bounds test and quadratic equation methods. The empirical findings of the study confirm the validity of the BARS curve by providing strong evidence for the existence of an inverted U-shaped long-run relationship between government size and economic growth. Unlike many previous studies that use a single proxy measure for government size, this study uses all available fundamental indicators and their sub-components. The empirical results show that for the period studied all proxy measures of government size exceed the optimal except for total central government budget expenditure and defence expenditure. Therefore, decreasing the size of the government, other than for these two indicators, will increase economic growth in the long run.

期刊介绍:
Economic Annals is an academic journal that has been published on a quarterly basis since 1955, initially under its Serbian name of Ekonomski anali (EconLit). Since 2006 it has been published exclusively in English. It is published by the Faculty of Economics, University of Belgrade, Serbia. The journal publishes research in all areas of economics. The Editorial Board welcomes contributions that explore economic issues in a comparative perspective with a focus on transition and emerging economies in Europe and around the world. The journal encourages the submission of original unpublished works, not under consideration by other journals or publications. All submitted papers undergo a double blind refereeing process. Authors are expected to follow standard publication procedures [Instructions to Authors], to recognise the values of the international academic community and to respect the journal’s Policy.
