The Cost of Economic Growth in Turkey: Unavoidable Increase in Current Deficit Ayvaz Güven, Emine Türkan In this study, the relationship between economic growth and current deficit is analyzed for Turkish economy with the annual data covering the period 1990-2015. Two variables; one is gross domestic product and the other one is current deficit, have taken place in the analyses. Time series data related to variables have been tested with ADF and PP Unit Root Tests, and it has been observed that the variables are stationary in the first level. In order to determine the causality relationship between variables, Granger Causality Test has been applied, and a unidirectional causality relationship from economic growth to current deficit as been found. Finally, Regression and Correlation Analyses have been applied in order to determine the direction and the degree of the relationship. The Regression Analysis has revealed that 1% increase in economic growth causes 3.43% increase in current deficit. In other words, the increase in growth causes increase in current deficit by affecting the balance of current account in a bad way. Annals of “Dunarea de Jos” University of Galati Fascicle I.

Consumption and the Consumer Văduva, Maria The consumer is that trader responsible for consumption act of some final goods or services who decided what must be produce and in what cantity, being the one who make the economic mechanism to move. Consumption is in close connection with the production of goods and services, exerting an active role, any activity should be complete by consuming its results; consumption creates the motivation to achieve economic and non-economic activities. The traditional approach to consumer behavior starts from hypothesised that all consumers seek to maximize the aggregate utility obtained of satisfactions resulting from consumption of goods taking into account the budgetary constraints given by income that consumer has and the prices of these goods. In the conditions of modern economy, consumption can be increased by diseconomies. If consumption depends on permanent income, revenue growth effectively does not exert influence on consumption only to the extent that this increase of income leads to increasing permanent income consumer. Consumption is viewed as an active agent of economic life, it is not only a consumer of goods and services but also a producer. Annals of “Dunarea de Jos” University of Galati Fascicle I.
