Abstract

A vast literature exists on the determinants of inflation in developed countries whereas the one in emergingmarkets and developing countries has gained attention at the beginning of 1990s. In this respect, the current paperoverviews the empirical studies in order to provide underlying knowledge and common facts on this topic that arevaluable for further research and policymakers. The patterns emerge from the results of the existing literature canbe summarized as follows. First, inflation is mainly a monetary phenomenon either due to direct or indirectdrivers in these countries. However, the significance of the effects from the monetary aggregates are dependent onthe countries and periods under study. Secondly, inflation persistence is a major determinant in explaininginflation, suggesting a backward-looking behavior in inflation dynamics for these countries. Lastly, theimportance of domestic determinants in understanding inflation has shifted towards external ones implying agreater role for global determinants in the last two decades.

Özet

Gelişmiş ülkelerde enflasyonun belirleyicileri konusunda geniş bir yazın mevcutken, yükselen piyasalar ve gelişmekte olan ülkelerdeki yazın, 1990'ların başında dikkat çekmiştir. Bu bağlamda, mevcut makale, bu konu hakkında değerli olan temel bilgileri ve ortak gerçekleri, gelecek araştırmalara ve politika yapıcılara sağlamak için ampirik çalışmaları gözden geçirmektedir. Mevcut literatürün sonuçlarından ortaya çıkan örüntüler şu şekilde özetlenebilir. Birincisi, enflasyon, bu ülkelerdeki doğrudan veya dolaylı itici güçlerden kaynaklanan, temelde parasal bir olgudur. Bununla birlikte, parasal büyüklüklerin etkilerinin önemi, incelenen ülkelere ve dönemlere bağlıdır. İkinci olarak, enflasyon sürekliliğinin, enflasyonu açıklamada önemli bir belirleyici olması, bu ülkeler için enflasyon dinamiklerinde geriye dönük bir davranış olduğunu düşündürmektedir. Son olarak, enflasyonu anlamada yerel belirleyicilerin öneminin dışsal belirleyicilere doğru kayması, son yirmi yılda küresel belirleyicilerin enflasyonu anlamada daha büyük bir rol oynadığına işaret etmektedir.
