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...
An evaluation of the trilemma: global constraints on monetary policies of developing countries in the post Bretton Woods era
Tercioğlu, Remzi Barış; Cömert, Hasan; Department of Economics (2016)
This study investigates monetary policy independence of developing countries in the context of the trilemma concept in the post Bretton Woods Era. Throughout the thesis, multidirectional effects of financial flows on monetary policies of developing countries are described and limits on effectiveness of the policy rate tool are discussed. As empirical evidence shows, global factors restrict central bank independence in developing countries and the policy rate tool is not effective enough in influencing long-...
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...
What Can Keynes Tell Us About Policies To Reduce Unemployment And Financial Instability in a Globalised International Economy?
Kregel, Jan (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2008-6)
Although Keynes’ General Theory has no discussion of trade and capital flows, almost all of Keynes’ writing prior to the General Theory deal with these issues. Indeed, almost all of Keynes’ writing prior to the General Theory deal with the appropriate exchange rate, the impact of external competition on domestic conditions, and the role of international investment. These contributions provided the basis for his proposals for a new international financial architecture that eventually created the Bretton Wood...
Empirical comparison of portfolio risk diversification algorithms
Yerli, Çiğdem; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe; Schindler, Nilüfer; Department of Financial Mathematics (2018)
The enhanced correlations during global financial crisis has revealed that simple asset allocation portfolios prove to be not well-diversified across different risk factors, which makes the risk based asset allocation strategies popular. However, the strategies still construct the risk concentrated portfolios due to the correlation among the asset classes. As a result, risk allocation among uncorrelated risk factors instead of risk allocation among asset classes have become widely used. This thesis aims to di...
