The financial stability's effects on the monetary policy transmission mechanisms are investigated. Specifically, the heteroskedasticity of the errors is exploited, in a MGARCH, to obtain endogenously estimated measures of uncertainty. A two steps estimator of a Multivariate GARCH-in-mean model...

We establish that the Turkish economy underwent a remarkable transformation during the last decade. We identify the underpinnings of this successful transformation as well as the inadequate policies that enabled vulnerabilities to accumulate. Despite improvement in the economic fundamentals,...

In this paper, we investigate the interrelations among Turkish interest rates with different maturities by using a regime switching Vector Error Correction (VECM) model. We find a long run equilibrium relationship among interest rates with various maturities. Furthermore we conclude that term...

We investigate whether trade has any effect on the price formation process in a specific electricity market, and identify interconnected markets that have higher impacts on prices in that market. In particular, we study Ontario wholesale electricity market and its trade with 12 interconnected...

This paper investigates the relationship between relative price variability (RPV) and inflation using monthly micro price data for 128 goods in 13 Turkish regions/cities for the period 1994-2010. The unique feature of this data set is the inclusion of annual inflation rates ranging between 0%...

We propose a powerful wavelet method to identify structural breaks in the mean of a process. If there is a structural change in the mean, the sum of the squared scaling coefficients absorbs more variation, leading to unequal weights for the variances of the wavelet and scaling coefficients. We...
