A dynamic general equilibrium model of a small open economy is presented where agents may choose the frequency of price changes. A fixed exchange rate is compared to inflation targeting and money targeting. A fixed rate generates more price flexibility than the other regimes when the expenditure switching effect is relatively weak, while money targeting generates more flexibility when the expenditure switching effect is strong. These endogenous changes in price flexibility can lead to changes in the welfare performance of regimes. But, for the model calibration considered here, the extra price flexibility generated by a peg does not compensate for the loss of monetary independence. Inflation targeting yields the highest welfare level despite generating the least price flexibility of the three regimes considered.

Is there an interest rate channel for monetary policy in Turkey? Erdoğan, Seyfettin; Yıldırım, Durmuş Çağrı (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2010-12) The changes in monetary authority’s decisions may affect the behavior of economic agents and thus the level of aggregate demand. Namely; a change in the short term interest rate is made by the central bank directly affects the user cost of capital and firms’ decisions about investment expenditure. In the monetary policy literature, this mentioned process is defined as the interest rate channel. To guide policy makers it is important to investigate whether interest rate channel operates. Determination of the...
The Impact of Modeling on Robust Inventory Management Under Demand Uncertainty Solyali, Oguz; Cordeau, Jean-Francois; Laporte, Gilbert (2016-04-01) This study considers a basic inventory management problem with nonzero fixed order costs under interval demand uncertainty. The existing robust formulations obtained by applying well-known robust optimization methodologies become computationally intractable for large problem instances due to the presence of binary variables. This study resolves this intractability issue by proposing a new robust formulation that is shown to be solvable in polynomial time when the initial inventory is zero or negative. Becau...
Effect of price-sensitive demand and default risk on optimal credit period and cycle time for a deteriorating inventory model Paul, Asim; Pervin, Magfura; Roy, Sankar Kumar; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm; Mirzazadeh, Abolfazl (2021-03-01) In this paper, we formulate and solve an economic order quantity model with default risk. Our main purpose is to investigate retailer's optimal replenishment time and credit period for deteriorating items under selling price-dependent demand while maximizing profit per unit time. Here, shortages are allowed and items are partially backlogged for interested customers. We show that optimal replenishment time and credit period not only exist but they are also unique. We solve the proposed problem analytically....
The role of trading volume, open interest and trader positions on volatility transmission between spot and futures markets Ordu-Akkaya, Beyza Mina; Ugurlu-Yildirim, Ecenur; Soytaş, Uğur (2019-06-01) In this paper, we investigate the role of open interest, trading volume and trading positions of trader groups on volatility spillover between futures and spot markets of two major commodities; oil and gold during the last two decades. The initial analysis including only spot and futures markets imply that the relationship is bi-directional for crude oil, and uni-directional for gold. Though, including open interest and trading volume enrich our results indicating open interest and spot markets are closely ...
Does the digital sector produce surplus value? The case of Facebook Tonak, E. Ahmet (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2020-12) This article shows that the digital economy can, as opposed to the opinion of many, be analysed on the basis of Marx’s theory of surplus value and profit. What we have shown through a study of the political economy of Facebook is that the product produced by the company in question is a commodity just like others. Moreover, the surplus value produced by the productive workers of Facebook is the main source of the profits of the company and the wages of its unproductive workers.
