For this purpose,cointegration and causality tests were conducted. As a result of Johansen cointegration test,cointegration relationship was determined between the variables. According to the results of theapplied Granger causality test to determine the direction and existence of the relationship betweenvariables, a two-way causality relationship was determined from export to economic growth and fromeconomic growth to export.
