This paper investigates the basic nominal stylized facts of business cycles in Turkey using monthly data from 1978:1 to 1997:7 and the methodology suggested by Kydland and Prescott (1990). In particular, correlations of the cyclical part of the data are found using two different filtering techniques, namely the Hodrick-Prescott filter and the twelve-month percentage change.Next the robustness of the results across these two techniques is evaluated. No clear-cut pattern emerges for the various measures of money. Price, inflation and interest rate series are all countercyclical giving support to a supply-driven model for the Turkish economy.
