Speculative Dynamics of Exchange Rates in Turkey: A System Dynamics Approach
Öz
A country’s economy may undergo a
period of volatility due to domestic politics and challenging external
environments. Foreign exchange rate is one of the factors that may affect and
be affected by the economy of a nation significantly. Motivated by the volatile US Dollar
exchange rate issue in Turkey, the impacts of speculation and manipulation on
the dynamics of foreign exchange rate in developing markets are examined in
this paper. The study focuses on the structures generating the
unstable US Dollar exchange rate against Turkish Lira by using system dynamics
approach, based on relationships among inflation, interest rate, exchange rate
and monetary market. System dynamics is a convenient approach for this problem
because of the nonlinear, dynamic and complex structure of this problem. First,
a stable-market model is formulated by excluding any speculative and external
disturbances, in the base model. Then, the effects of speculation among people, the existence
of manipulative investors and interest rate adjustment intervention by Central
Bank are included by extending the base model in each scenario. Simulation
results reveal that coping with an economic crisis does not only depend on
monetary policies but also on the perception and behavior of people. Policies that focus on preventing
speculation/panic among individuals are therefore particularly important to
avoid unstable fluctuations in exchange rates in developing markets.
