Currency and asset substitution in Turkey

This study investigates the determinants and effects of currency and asset substitution in Turkey using quarterly data from 1987:1 to 2002:4. The empirical results from the application of Johansen procedure to a four-variable system containing currency-asset substitution proxy (M2Y/M2)), real income, real exchange rate, and ratchet effect proxy (past peak values of the depreciation of the real exchange rate) suggest the presence of a single cointegration vector among the variables. The results further suggest the endogeneity of the degree of currency substitution for the parameters of the cointegration vector. According to the theory consistent and data-acceptable long-run relationship between the variables, there is a strong ratchet (hysteresis) effect in currency-asset substitution in Turkey. The study contains also the policy implications of both currency substitution and the ratchet effect arising from real exchange rate change shocks in the Turkish economy.

Exchange Rate Pass-Through in Turkey: An Empiricial Investigation
Pekbaş, Melek Özgür; Özmen, Adalı; Department of Economics (2004)
This study investigates the degree of exchange rate pass-through to prices in different sectors for Turkish economy using Johansen Cointegration procedure. The study is based on quarterly data from 1994:1 to 2003:4. In this study it is concluded that the long-run exchange rate pass-through to overall wholesale prices for Turkey is very high and nearly complete. High pass-through degrees are also valid for different sub-sectors wholesale prices like private, public, manufacturing industry and energy. Moreove...
Türkiye döviz piyasalarında oynaklığın öngörülmesi ve risk yönetimi kapsamında değerlendirilmesi

Bu çalışmada, Türkiye döviz piyasalarında TRL/USD, TRL/EUR ve TRL/GBP serilerinin oynaklığı hareketli ortalama modelleri, AR ve ARMA modelleri ve ARCH süreçleri kullanılarak modellenmiş ve modellerin örneklem dışı öngörü performansları karşılaştırılmıştır. Farklı oynaklık öngörüleri kullanılarak elde edilen parametrik VaR modelinin öngörü performansları Basle Komitesi geriye dönük test ölçütleri kapsamında değerlendirilmiştir.

Measuring cost efficiency of Turkish commercial banks : a stochastic frontier approach
Güneş, Hakan; Yıldırım Kasap, Dilem; Department of Economics (2013)
This study examines cost efficiency of Turkish commercial banks through a stochastic frontier approach where the inefficiency effects are approximated by a set of bank-specific variables. Empirical results reveal that intermediation ratio, deposits divided by liabilities and labor per branch are the main determinants of the inefficiency of Turkish commercial banks. Moreover, it is observed that cost efficiency of all commercial banks has an upward trend until 2008 and it takes 10 quarters to recover from th...
Exchange Rate Uncertainty in Turkey and its Impact on Export Volume
KASMAN, Adnan; KASMAN, Saadet (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2005-6)
This paper investigates the impact of real exchange rate volatility on Turkey’s exports to its most important trading partners using quarterly data for the period 1982 to 2001. Cointegration and error correction modeling approaches are applied, and estimates of the cointegrating relations are obtained using Johansen’s multivariate procedure. Estimates of the short-run dynamics are obtained through the error correction technique. Our results indicate that exchange rate volatility has a significant positive e...
Financial fragilities of Turkish non-financial sectors
Kılıç, Abdurrahman; Özmen, Erdal; Department of Economics (2015)
This thesis investigates financial structure of Turkish non-financial sectors and the impacts of their financial fragilities on profitability using the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT) sector level company accounts data base. The results suggest that corporate sector leverage dramatically increased after 2009. Despite the improvements in maturity and liability dollarization of the corporate sector, fragilities still appear to be substantially high. Foreign currency denominated assets have becom...
