OPTIMAL PARA POLITIKASI ÇERÇEVESINDE TAYLOR TIPI FAIZ ORANI REAKSIYON FONKSIYONUN TAHMINI: TÜRKIYE ÖRNEĞİ

Abstract

Bu çalışmada 1987:1-2013:3 dönemi çeyreklik frekanstaki veri setleri kullanılarak kısa vadeli nominal faiz oranlarının bir kurala dayalı olarak hareket edip etmediğinin belirlenmesi ve bu noktada parasal otoritenin kurala dayalı bir para politikası stratejisi izleyip izlemediğinin tespiti amaçlanmıştır. Taylor tipi faiz oranı reaksiyon fonksiyonu GMM tekniği dikkate alınarak ileriye dönük beklentiler altında tahmin edilmiş olup ilgili analiz döneminde Türkiye’de Taylor Kuralının geçerli olduğu bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır. Ayrıca; düzleştirme parametresi, diğer katsayı büyüklükleri ve anlamlılıkları dikkate alındığında amaç bağımsızlığı bulunan parasal otoritenin birincil görevi olarak fiyat istikrarına yönelik uygulamaları yerine getirmediği, öncelikli hedefi olarak büyümede gözlenen dalgalanmaları düzleştirme çabası içinde olduğu çalışmada elde edilen diğer bir bulgudur
