Do financial conditions have a predictive power on inflation in Turkey?
This paper aims at examining the causal relationships between financial conditions and inflation in Turkey by employing quarterly data from 2005:Q1 to 2015:Q3. To this end, the paper, first, constructs a financial conditions index (FCI) in Turkey and observes that the FCI can considerably capture th...
