1.3. Methodology
In the analysis process of this study, EngleGranger cointegration analysis will be used. EngleGranger cointegration analysis determines the long-term relationship between the variables in the study. At this stage, the variables are first subjected to unit root testing. In this way, stationarity of variables is determined. This analysis has several prerequisites. Firstly, the variables subject to the analysis should not be static at the level. Both variables must be first-order aware ().
