The Transmission of Foreign Interest Rate Shocks to a Small-Open Economy: The Role of External Debt and Financial Integration
نویسنده
چکیده
This paper investigates the implications of external indebtedness and international nancial integration on the e¤ects of foreign interest rate shocks in a small-open economy. The theoretical component of the analysis develops a business cycle model that can successfully match the impulse responses of the Turkish economy to U.S. interest rate shocks. It is found in the context of this model that the relationship between nancial integration and macroeconomic volatility due to foreign interest rate shocks depends on the level of outstanding external debt. Financial integration mitigates the economys responses to foreign rate shocks for higher levels of external debt. It magni es the economys responses for lower levels of external debt. The model is estimated on quarterly Turkish data. The estimated version reveals that the Turkish Economys responses to U.S. interest rate shocks would be signi cantly less pronounced for lower levels of external debt.
