Click to Download Data: An Event Study of Internet Access to Economic Statistics

Central Bank Review, 2009, vol. 9, issue 2, 1-22

Abstract: This study examines the online access statistics of the Central Bank of Turkey's Electronic Data Delivery System within an event study framework. The comparisons of pre-event and post-event statistics suggest that announcements of both the policy interest rates and the consumer price data considerably affect society's data access behavior. The timing and amplitude of these effects are further studied with respect to inflation expectations and surprise content of events; yet no solid pattern was revealed.
