| Abstract | This paper investigates the economic roots of separatist terrorism in Turkey. The political conventional wisdom is that poverty in highly Kurdish populated, southeastern Turkey is one of the most important causes of separatist terrorism and Turkish-Kurdish conict in Turkey. Therefore many economic policies have been implemented to improve the economic conditions in the southeastern part of the country. Using Global Terrorism Database and Vector Autoregression (VAR) methodology, I nd that there is no causal relationship between economic conditions in southeastern Turkey and separatist terrorism. Therefore policy makers should be cautious in using economic measures to prevent separatist terrorism in Turkey. |
