This thesis investigates the nature of macroeconomic changes by focussing on the monetary policy changes in Turkey between 1990Q1-2011Q4 and assesses the variability of the economy via impulse response functions obtained from VAR analyses. The period of the analyses is characterized with changes of the definitions of monetary aggregates in 2002 and 2007. In order to have consistent monetary series, the new and old series are constructed according to new and old definitions and then analyses are carried out with each type of series and comparisons are given among the monetary series.

Modelling nonlinearities in European money demand : an application of threshold cointegration model Korucu Gümüşoğlu, Nebile; Öcal, Nadir; Department of Economics (2013) The money demand function has been regarded as a fundamental building block in macroeconomic modelling, as it represents the link between the monetary policy and rest of the economy. The extensive literature on money demand function is concerned with the existence of a stable money demand function, which ensures adequate prediction of impact of a given change in money supply on other economic variables such as, inflation, interest rates, national income, private investment and other policy variables. This t...
Non-linear structure of the Turkish interest rate transmission mechanism Bozok, İhsan; Yıldırım Kasap, Dilem; Department of Economics (2012) This paper empirically analyses the interest rate transmission mechanism from money market rate to lending rate by utilizing the bank-level data in the distinction of cash, automobile, housing and corporate loans in Turkey. The main objective is to reveal the possible asymmetries of the adjustment process as well as the extent of the pass through. Empirical results indicate that mark-up value is the minimum for corporate rates on average, followed by housing, automobile and cash rates, respectively. Additio...
A Comparative study for nonlinear structure of the interest rate pass through Değer, Osman; Yıldırım Kasap, Dilem; Department of Economics (2012) This study investigates the interest rate pass through from the money market rate to the lending rate by utilizing monthly data of fifteen countries, grouped as high income, upper middle income and lower middle income, over the period 1999:01-2011:09. Taking the linear cointegration test of Engle-Granger as benchmark, we employ threshold cointegration tests of Enders and Siklos (2001) in order to account for the possible nonlinearities in the pass-through process. Empirical results reveal that the pass thro...
An Empirical Analysis of the Bank Lending Channel in Turkey Ozsuca, Ekin Ayse; Akbostancı Özkazanç, Elif (2013-07-01) The purpose of this paper is to empirically analyze the role of the banking sector in monetary policy transmission in Turkey covering the period 1988-2009. By exploiting dynamic panel data modeling approaches, the heterogeneity in banks' lending response to changes in policy interest rates is analyzed. Given the changes in the policy stance and developments in the financial system following the 2000-01 crisis, the analysis is further conducted for the two sub-periods, 1988-2001 and 2002-2009, to examine whe...
Analysis of the monetary stance of Turkey between 2011 and 2018 with a new monetary conditions index: the roles of government bond yields and the exchange rate Kaptan, Savaş; Gaygısız Lajunen, Esma; Department of Economics (2019) Measuring the monetary policy stance of central banks is a much-debated issue in the literature. The changing economic dynamics over the time and different structures of economies have made impossible to use only short term interest rates, monetary aggregates or money market rates for analyzing the monetary stance. Accordingly, comprehensive monetary conditions indexes have been discovered and some central banks have started to use them as an operational target. In line with these developments, the main aim...
