Handelsliberalisierung und die Struktur der Protektion in der Türkei der achtziger Jahre. Eine quantitative Analyse. — Die Autoren haben die StrukturverÄnderungen in der Protektion der Türkei untersucht, die sich aus den aufeinanderfolgenden ZollsatzÄnderungen von 1983 bis 1989 ergaben. Sie zeigen, da\ die Revisionen der Jahre 1988 und 1989 sowohl die Höhe als auch die interindustrielle Streuung der Protektion verringert haben. Trotzdem fördert die Struktur der Protektion noch nicht die optimale Allokation der heimischen Ressourcen, wenn man die relativen Preise an der Grenze und damit das türkische Au\enhandelspotential in Betracht zieht. Au\erdem wurde gezeigt, da\ die türkischen Exportindustrien stÄrker geschützt werden als die Industrien, die mit Importen konkurrieren.

Economic uncertainty and credit crunch - Evidence from an emerging market
Rhoades, SD; Güner, Zehra Nuray (Informa UK Limited, 2003-07-01)
Using both univariate and multivariate analyses, this paper attempts to determine whether a credit crunch occurred in the Turkish economy during the 1990s. It also addresses the question of whether this credit crunch was a supply-side- or a demand-side-originated phenomenon. Economic uncertainty is proxied by unanticipated inflation. The analyses are carried out by controlling for political uncertainty as well. The results indicate that economic uncertainty has a significantly negative impact on the supply ...
Intraindustry trade and labor market adjustment in Turkey - Another piece of puzzling evidence?
Erlat, Güzin; Erlat, Haluk (Informa UK Limited, 2006-09-01)
After important policy changes in 1980, Turkey's trade expanded considerably. Although interindustry trade remained predominant, intraindustry trade (IIT) increased substantially. This paper investigates whether the increase in HT contributed to reducing adjustment costs due to trade expansion. We undertook an econometric approach and considered three-digit International Standard Industry Classification classified data. We used a model developed by Brulhart and Thorpe (2000)for Malaysia, both in static and ...
Oil Prices and Monetary Policy in Emerging Markets: Structural Shifts in Causal Linkages
NAZLIOĞLU, ŞABAN; Gormus, Alper; Soytaş, Uğur (Informa UK Limited, 2019-01-01)
This study tests the causal relationships between oil prices and monetary policy for the emerging markets (Brazil, India, Indonesia, South Africa, and Turkey). In particular, we explore the role of exchange rates, inflation, and interest rates. First, we utilize the commonly used Toda-Yamamoto causality framework and later augment the model to account for structural shiftsincluding gradual/smooth shifts. The empirical findings show that (i) accounting for gradual structural shifts matter for the causal link...
Oil Prices and Emerging Market Exchange Rates
Turhan, Ibrahim; Hacıhasanoğlu, Erk; Soytaş, Uğur (Informa UK Limited, 2013-01-01)
This paper investigates the role of oil prices in explaining the dynamics of selected emerging countries' exchange rates. Using daily data series, the study concludes that a rise in oil prices leads to significant appreciation of emerging economies' currencies against the U.S. dollar. The authors divide daily returns from January 3, 2003, to June 2, 2010, into three subsamples and test the impact of changes in oil prices on exchange rate movements, generalizing impulse response functions to track the dynami...
Monetary policy trilemma, inflation targeting and global financial crisis
Gulsen, Eda; Özmen, Erdal (Wiley, 2020-04-01)
We empirically investigate the validity of the monetary policy trilemma postulation for emerging market (EME) and advanced (AE) economies under different exchange rate and monetary policy regimes before and after the recent global financial crisis (GFC). Consistent with the dilemma proposition, domestic interest rates are determined by global financial conditions and the FED rate even under floating exchange rate regimes (ERR) in the long-run. The impact of the FED rates is higher in EME than AE and EME are...
