Abstract: Our aim is to examine whether CBRT should respond exchange rate movements. We used a small open economy DSGE model based on Gali(2015). We estimated structural parameters of the model using Bayesian methods over quarterly Turkish data. Our preliminary findings indicate that applying strict inflation targeting is superior to any other alternative interest rate rule. However, a policy maker that values exchange rate stability should also respond to exchange rate fluctuations.
