Abstract

This study aims to analyze the effects of monetary policy on real economic activity in the cases of Turkey and the euro area by investigating the role of financial intermediaries. Structural vector error correction (SVEC) models are used to examine the effects of short-term interest rates and credit activity on output. Empirical results reveal that short-term interest rates and credits may affect Turkey’s output in the short run, whereas changes in short-term interest rate and credit volume do not have a significant long-term impact on real economic activity either in Turkey or the euro area.
