Länge har det ansetts att en mer oberoende centralbank ger en lägre inflationsnivå utan att det påverkar övriga delar av ekonomin. I syfte att sänka och stabilisera inflationen har därför världens centralbanker blivit allt mer oberoende sedan 1980-talet. Under senare tid har dock det ökade oberoendet börjat ifrågasättas och det har blivit mer osäkert vilken effekt centralbanksoberoendet har på konjunkturvolatiliteten. I denna uppsats undersöks detta genom att använda ett uppdaterat centralbankoberoendemått mot mer nutida tillväxt- och arbetslöshetsdata. Den empiriska metod som används är en tvärsnittsanalys byggd på OLS-regressioner. Uppsatsens resultat stödjer inte hypotesen att ett ökat oberoende ger en mindre volatil konjunktur. Osäkerheten kring resultaten, som beror på få signifikanta resultat, gör dock att vi inte heller med säkerhet kan påvisa en nolleffekt.

In this study, determinants and the evolution of the exchange rate passthrough to domestic inflation in the Turkish economy is analyzed. The analyses cover the 1987-2003 period. In the analyses, single equation &ldquo / Error Correction Models&rdquo / are used to estimate the exchange rate pass-through. Estimation results suggest that alike other emerging countries, the degree of exchange rate passthrough to domestic prices is high and the pass-through is completed in a very short time span. Estimations results also indicates that the main factors to account for high pass-through are the past currency crises and the high degree of openness of the economy. These factors create the ground for the indexation behavior of agents. Although, above-mentioned factors are the main determinants of the degree of exchange rate pass-through, the persistency and the volatility of exchange rates can significantly affect the short run dynamics of the pass-through. The results imply that even if the pass-through slows down due to the changing pattern of exchange rates, to achieve the low and stable inflation in the long run, fundamental factors that exacerbate the link between exchange rates and prices should change.
