Enflasyon ve Enflasyon Belirsizliği İlişkisi İçin G7 Ekonomileri Üzerine Bir İnceleme

Year 2009, Volume: 8 Issue: 2, 503 - 523, 01.12.2009

Abstract

Bu çalışmada enflasyon ve enflasyon belirsizliği arasındaki nedensellik / önceleme ilişkisi 1973M01 – 2008M09 döneminde aylık gözlem aralığına sahip verilerle G7 ülkeleri için incelenmeye çalışılmıştır. Çağdaş üssel genelleştirilmiş ardışık bağlanımlı koşullu değişen varyans (EGARCH) yöntemleri doğrultusunda elde ettiğimiz ölçek enflasyon belirsizliği verisi ışığında gerçekleştirilen Granger nedensellik sınalamaları Friedman-Ball varsayımları ile desteklenen bir şekilde enflasyonun enflasyon belirsizliğinin pozitif bir işlev dahilinde nedeni olduğunu göstermektedir. Bununla birlikte, daha çok Cukierman-Meltzer varsayımlarıyla açıklanmaya çalışılan enflasyon belirsizliğinden enflasyona doğru pozitif anlamlı bir nedensellik için inceleme kapsamındaki bütün G7 ülkeleri için genel nitelikli bulgular elde edilememiş, bazı ülke örneklerinde bu tür bir çıkarsama desteklenirken bazı ülke örneklerinde de bu ilişkinin işareti negatif olarak bulunmuş ve diğer bazılarında da belirsizlikten enflasyona doğru bir nedenselliğe rastlanmamıştır. Sonuç olarak, enflasyonun kendisiyle ilişkili ekonomide meydana gelen bir belirsizlik bileşeninin de kaynağı olduğu şeklinde bir çıkarsamaya ulaşılmıştır

An Investigation for the Inflation and Inflation Uncertainty Relationship upon the G7 Economies

Year 2009, Volume: 8 Issue: 2, 503 - 523, 01.12.2009

Abstract

In this paper the causality / precedence relationship between inflation and inflation uncertainty has been tried to be examined for the G7 countries with monthly frequency observations in the 1973M1 – 2008M09 period. In light of the proxy obtained for the inflation uncertainty data using contemporaneous exponential generalized autoregressive conditional heteroskedasticity (EGARCH) methods, the Granger causality tests indicate that supporting the arguments put forward by Friedman-Ball hypotheses, inflation is the Granger-cause of the inflation uncertainty considering a positive relationship. However, no clear-cut evidence for the positive causality running from inflationary uncertainty to inflation explained mainly by Cukierman-Meltzer hypotheses can be found for all the G7 countries in the sense that such an inference seems to be supported in some countries, the sign of this relationship varies in some others, and no causality has been found in still others. All in all, we infer that inflation is a cause of an associated uncertainty component related to itself occurred in the economy.
