The Stability Analysis of The Money Demand with ARDL Model Approach in Inflation Targeting Process: The Cases of Turkey and Indonesia

This paper examines the relationship between the money demand and determinants of the money demand during the inflation targeting in Turkey and Indonesia. The research uses data from 2002:Q1-2013:Q2 time period for Turkey and 1991:Q1-2013:Q2 term for Indonesia. Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) Model and CUSUM Test results have shown not found a relationship between income level, interest rate and inflation with money demand for both short-run and long-run in Turkey. In contrast, the research has found a significant and stable relationship between income level, interest rate and inflation just for long-run in Indonesia. This finding shows that there is not a structural break to change the direction of stability. In this context, the findings are also important to show that we cannot make a generalization regarding the stability of money demand for the time period in which inflation targetting regime was implemented.
