In this paper, with the help of Hatemi-J asymmetric causality test (2012) we analyze the relationship between financial development and agricultural credits for the period of December2005 October-2013 in Turkey. The paper, which we state stationary levels of series by KPSS unit root test (1992), aims to show the advantage of Hatemi-J asymmetric causality test (2012) which takes into consideration of asymmetric information in financial markets and separates positive and negative shocks. For this reason, we also analyze Hacker and Hatemi-J (2006) bootstrap causality test. As a result of this monthly data analysis, although there is no any relationship between the variables in negative shock situations, agricultural credits have impact on financial development in positive shocks situations. Therefore, agricultural sector has a critical place in Turkish financial structure.

Throughout twentieth century, the budgetary theory has exhausted six budgeting systems including the Classical one. This means one budgeting system per about seventeen years in average, and there were three main causes of these rapid changes: First, the concept of “power of purse” has been evaluated rigidly against the “power of fiscal policy”, in contrast to transformations in economic conjuncture. Second, as a result of insistence on this rigid evaluation, and on classical liberal budgetary principles, there have arisen discrepancies between budgetary structures, means and goals. These discrepancies have been reflected by “one budget constraint”, and thus, budgeting systems have been changed along with economic priorities. Third, due to these discrepancies that hadn’t been handled structurally, “systemic lags” have emerged in terms of tardiness of budgeting systems in following economic conjuncture.
