With the increased globalization and liberalized international capital movements in recent years, the shocks in the reserve money supply affect the asset prices and exchange rates over the policy rates in developing countries. Early studies showed that the monetary transmission mechanism and channels differ according to the economic and financial structure of each emerging market. Since monetary transmission channels give different results for each country, no consensus has been reached on this issue, and empirical analysis is needed for each country to determine the specific transmission channels. The aim of this study is to make empirical analyzes on the effects of international monetary transmission channels for Turkey. To analyze the transmission mechanism of the non-traditional, expansionary monetary policies implemented by the US Federal Reserve (FED) during the period of 2008:11-2014:6 on Turkey, through the exchange rate channel, the cointegration relationship between the dollar rate, the dollar supply and short-term interest rates analyzed. Using the weekly data, ARDL Bounds Test approach is applied and a cointegration relationship was found between the exchange rate, M1 dollar supply and bond variables both in the short and the long term during the period of 2008:11- 2014:6. However, the short term results indicated a weak and lagged cointegration relationship between the M1 dollar supply and the exchange rate. This result shows that the exchange rate channel is important for Turkey only in the long run. With the error correction model, it has been determined that the convergence process of the short-term equilibrium to the long-term is slow. The contribution of this study to the literature is empirical; It is the first study to analyze the short-term and long-term effects of the exchange rate channel, which is one of the transmission mechanism of the external monetary shocks, using the ARDL bound test.
