The aim of this paper is to examine and quantify the impact of demographic change on household savings, which is expected to take place in the following years in Turkey. Moreover, the effects of the increase in the share of people with college degree or more in adult population and the rise in...

In this paper, we study the Beveridge curve and the matching function in Turkey. The analysis illustrates that the empirical Beveridge curve for the 2005:M1-2013:M2 period posits a negative relationship between unemployment and vacancies. When the sample period is divided into sub-periods around...

This paper estimates NAIRU (Non-Accelerating Inflation Rate of Unemployment) for the Turkish economy as an unobserved stochastic variable by systems approach. Based on a Phillips curve equation combined with an Okun law for output gap and unemployment gap, the systems approach imposes stochastic...

We study the evolution of inflation aversion preferences across generations. In the theoretical part of the paper, we analyze the dynamics of such preferences in an overlapping-generations model with heterogenous mature agents characterized by different degrees of inflation aversion. We show how...

In general, complex and large dimensional models are needed to solve real economic problems. Due to these characteristics, there is either no analytical solution for them or they are not attainable. As a result, solutions can be only obtained through numerical methods. Thus, the growing...

In this paper we examine the features of the US wage Phillips curve over different time horizons analyzing the original Phillips’ specification on a scale-by-scale basis with data transformed by wavelet and band-pass filtering methods. Our results provide compelling evidence that the wage...

For monetary policy guiding inflation expectations provides an instrument to achieve price stability. However, expectation uncertainty may undermine monetary policy's ability to stabilise the economy. This study examines the effects of inflation expectation uncertainty on inflation, inflation...

Bubble solutions of rational expectations models are identified by extra components that arise in addition to market fundamentals. In general there still exist many equilibrium paths relying on a minimal set of state variables, i.e., along which the number of lags that influence the current...
