Summary/Abstract: Terrorism has been perceived as the main problem of some countries in the world for many years; however, it has started to be seen as an international threat affecting almost all countries after 9/11. This threat changed the economic power of countries and their ways of using the resources and prevented them from reaching the desired level in growth and development. Terrorism has been one of the most important reasons why Turkey’s socio-economic development would not be realized. Policymakers give more importance to the policies that promote prosperity, in countries where terrorism is not seen much, yet Turkey, with its national security policy, has had to spare much from its sources to fight against terrorism. Therefore, it becomes very important to investigate the effects of terrorism on macroeconomic indicators from the perspective of economic literature. For this purpose, effects of terrorism fixed capital formations were investigated with the help of time series analysis and the annual data from 1982-2017 of Turkey’s economy. According to the finding obtained from the study, it is seen that terrorism has a negative effect on fixed capital formations.
