The poor performance of sticky-price models with rational expectations in explaining the inflationary inertia in the US economy constitutes the basis for sticky-price models of near-rational expectations in the recent literature. However, previous studies on inflationary inertia in Turkey not...

This paper estimates NAIRU (Non-Accelerating Inflation Rate of Unemployment) for the Turkish economy as an unobserved stochastic variable by systems approach. Based on a Phillips curve equation combined with an Okun law for output gap and unemployment gap, the systems approach imposes stochastic...

This paper tests the effects of the global crisis on the structure of the Turkish banking sector using bank-level data during 2002Q4-2013Q3 period and employing random effects model. The selected dependent variables are financial ratios on capital adequacy, asset quality, liquidity,...

This paper estimates NAIRU (Non-Accelerating Inflation Rate of Unemployment) for the Turkish economy by systems approach, which includes an Okun-type relationship between output gap and unemployment gap, a Phillips curve equation, stochastic laws of motion for NAIRU and potential output and...

Yükselen piyasa ekonomilerinde ve hatta gelişmiş ülkelerde, ekonominin ve istihdamın, özellikle, 1970’lerden itibaren giderek daha yoğun biçimde kayıtdışılığa kaydığı dikkati çeken bir unsurdur. Ancak, kayıtdışı ekonomi, gerek Türkiye ekonomisi ve gerekse diğer ülke...

Although previous studies on currency substitution in Turkey confirm the existence of currency substitution, these works ignore whether this process reached an irreversible stage or not. This paper analyzes the persistence of currency substitution in Turkey through inclusion of a ratchet...
