| Abstract: | The authors study the Turkish economy. In order to analyze the effects of exchange-rate fluctuation on relative domestic prices, the authors set up a simple theoretical model consisting of two countries (one domestic and one foreign country). The authors assume that production in the domestic country has a certain imported input component. It is also assumed that firms in the domestic country operate with a less efficient technology than foreign counterparts. In the authors' differentiated product model, domestic and foreign firms determine their production levels simultaneously a la Coumot. The results show that with sufficiently small imported input dependency, depreciation of domestic currency leads to a decline in the ratio of domestic goods prices to the price of imported brands. |
