Özet
Purpose: This study investigates the monetary policy responses of emerging market inflation targeters to financial factors both before and after the 2008 global financial crisis (GFC).Methodology: Taylor rules, augmented with the nominal exchange rate, the exchange market pressure index, and the U.S. federal funds eff ective rate, are analyzed by using the augmented mean group (AMG) panel estimator for 12 emerging market economies (EMEs) that adopted an infl ation targeting regime. The sample is divided into two periods around the GFC: 2002Q1-2007Q4 and 2010Q1-2019Q4. Results: Infl ation signifi cantly and positively impacted interest rate settings during both periods. The panel AMG results indicate that the EMEs' responses to financial variables only had a signifi cant eff ect during the post-crisis period, while the federal funds eff ective rate had the most impact among the financial variables. The country-specifi c results indicate that some central banks also reacted to financial variables before the GFC.Conclusion: Inflation played an important role in policy rate decisions for both periods despite the slightly decreasing weight in interest rate settings after the GFC due to the increasing influence of financial variables. Although financial variables were important in setting interest rates during both periods, the EMEs' post-GFC monetary policies focused more on financial stability. Furthermore, their monetary policies became more compatible with external financial conditions after the GFC.
