Abstract

Using panel data analysis, this paper examines the determinants of inflation rate in 23 transition economies and in relatively different socio-economical subgroups for the period of 1998-2008. There is a controversy between Monetarists and Keynesians about the causes of inflation. While Monetarists see inflation as outcomes of monetary expansion, Keynesians see monetary expansion as a result and argue that extreme wage increases above productivity cause inflation. Results obtai from fixed, random and common effects estimators support Keynesian view. Namely, while regressions for 23 transition countries and for subgroups show that nominal wage increases strongly affect inflation rate, monetary expansion fail to influence inflation. In addition to wage increases, the results of analysis for all country groups confirm that exchange rate increases also have strong influence on inflation generating. From the finding it is concluded also that inflation inertia is one of key determinant of inflation in Eastern European transition countries, but is not in former Soviet Union transition countries.

Özet

Bu çalışmada panel veri yöntemleri kullanılarak, 23 geçiş ekonomisi ve nispeten farklı sosyo-ekonomik özelliklere sahip alt gruplar için enflasyon oranının belirleyicileri, 1998-2008 dönemi için saptanmaya çalışılmıştır. İktisat teorisinde Monetaristler ve Keynesyenler arasında enflasyon nedenleri konusunda ciddi görüş ayrılıkları vardır. Şöyle ki, Monetaristler enflasyonun parasal genişlemeden kaynaklandığını, Keynesyenler ise parasal genişlemenin bir sonuç olduğunu ve verimlilik artışından daha yüksek olan ücret artışlarının enflasyona neden olduğunu savunmaktalar. Bu açıdan bakıldığında, çalışmada uygulanan sabit etkili, rastsal etkili ve ortak etkili model sonuçları Keynesyen görüşü desteklemektedir. Şöyle ki, 23 ülke ve alt gruplarına ait bağlaşımlar ücret artışlarının enflasyon oranını güçlü şekilde etkilediğini gösterirken, parasal genişleme için herhangi bir enflasyonist etki bulunamamıştır. Ayrıca, sonuçlar tüm gruplar için döviz kuru artışlarının da enflasyonist olduğunu gösterir. Enflasyon ataletinin ise Doğu Avrupa’nın geçiş ekonomilerinde geçerli olduğu, eski Sovyetler Birliği ülkelerinde böyle bir durumun olmadığı bulunmuştur.
