In this study, the existence and direction of a long-termed relationship had been reviewed between the labor productivity, unemployment rate and inflation by means of being used of the quarterly data including the periods of 2007:1 and 2017:3 of Turkish industry. In the study, the ARDL Test (Bound Cointegration Test) and Granger Causality Test had been used. It had been determined that there was a long-termed relationship between the productivity and unemployment rate and inflation, as a result of the empirical findings obtained. Whereas there was an unidirectional and strong causality relationship towards the productivity from the unemployment rate with regards to either the short-run or long-run, it had been determined that an unidirectional causality came into question only towards the productivity from the inflation with regards to the short-run, according to the Granger Causality Test results. When it is looked-at the direction of the relationship, it had been seen that the results reached supported the opinion based on the Alternative Theoretical Opinion and more study in order not to be the person dismissed firstly. In conclusion, while the increment increases the labor productivity in the unemployment rate, the increment to be come to existence in the inflation shall decrease the labor productivity},author={Sevilay SARICA},year={2018},journal={The Journal of Academic Social Science}}
