Money Supply as a Driver of Inequality: VAR-Based Evidence from Türkiye

Öz

This study explores the relationship between inequality and macroeconomic dynamics in Türkiye from 2004 to 2023, with a particular focus on the role of monetary policy. While the analysis incorporates a range of macroeconomic indicators—including per capita Gross Domestic Product (GDP), consumer price index (CPI), exchange rate (USD), stock market index (BIST100), and income and consumption Gini coefficients—special attention is given to the growth of the money supply (M1) as a proxy for monetary policy stance. Using Vector Autoregression (VAR) models, we examine how changes in these variables affect income and consumption inequality over time. The results indicate that among the variables studied, M1 has a statistically significant and consistent effect on inequality measures, particularly after 2019, when monetary expansion accelerated. The findings suggest that monetary policy, through its influence on inflation, asset prices, and exchange rates, has notable distributional consequences. While other macroeconomic factors also contribute, the evidence highlights that money supply growth—when not matched by real sector gains—can exacerbate inequality. These results underscore the need to integrate distributional considerations into the design and implementation of monetary policy.
