Özet
The paper examines the impacts of remittances on terrorism for Turkish economy by
using annual time series data covering the period of 1990-2019. Autoregressive
Distributed Lag (ARDL) was used in the application of econometric method. To
ensure robustness of results, the study accounts for structural breaks in the unit root
test and the co-integration analysis. The results obtained indicated that remittances
flows to Turkey have a positive and significant effect on terrorism. This is in line
with the empirical evidence that finances through remittances can promote terrorism
in a country. The study also concludes that unemployment has strong a correlation
in promoting terrorism in Turkish economy and that persistent unemployment can
cause economic inequality, poverty, social dislocation, unrest, and conflict such as
terrorism, which has a negative impact on subsequent long-run economic growth.
Besides, trade openness shows a negative but significant effect, which indicates that
trade openness has a little influence in promoting terrorism.
