The Turkish Currency Crisis-A Balance Sheet Effect Framework-
• Place of the Turkish Crisis within the currency crisis framework
• Introduce a third generation model based on balance sheet effects of devaluations
• Empirically test the model in Turkey’s case
• Learnings for the exchange rate policy in emerging economies

Perspective on Currency Crisis Models Literature
• First generation models – Irresponsible government policies
• Second generation models – multiple equilibria
• Third generation models– Excess borrowing
– Bank run models
– Balance sheet effects

First Generation Models
• Krugman (1979), Flood&Garber (1984), starting from commodity price fixing models
• The crisis is a consequence of the government’s pursuit of leverage leading to foreign reserves depletion
• Through backward induction, the timing of the attack is the moment when the shadow price exceeds the peg parity
• The crisis is the only outcome possible, given government’s policies

Second Generation Models
• Obstfeld (1994), as first generation models failed to explain the EMS crisis
• The peg is abandoned by a rational government unwilling to sustain it, although it might have been able to keep it
• Continuous assessment of the cost of maintaining the peg vs. the cost of removing the peg
• Expectations of the peg being abandoned in the future increase the cost of defending the peg, leading to MULTIPLE EQUILIBRIA

The Need for a New Generation of Crisis Models
• The SE Asia crisis has revealed the need for a new framework for looking at currency crisis
• Neither first, nor second generation models provide a rationale for the fall in output after the crisis has occurred
• The central role the financial system played in the crisis, leading to the concept of “Twin Crises”

Third Generation Models
• Excessive lending caused by implicit government guarantees (Krugman 1998, Corsetti, Presenti, Roubini)– The governement assesses the costs of making good/defaulting on
its guarantees, a la second generation models
• Sachs and Radelet – model of financial fragility– The currency crisis is, in fact, an international banking crisis
• Balance Sheet Effects Model by Krugman 1999

The Balance Sheet Effect Model of Currency Crisis

The Classical Mundell Flemming
Framework • (1) y=d(y,i) + NX(eP*/P,y)
• (2) M/P=L(y,I)
• (3) i=i*

The Balance Sheet Effect of Domestic Currency Devaluation
• Firms have debt denominated in hard currency while their revenues are denominated in local currency
• A domestic currency real depreciation will thus deteriorate the firm’s balance sheet
• High net worth is essential in obtaining financing because of asymmetrical information
• Investment projects are assessed based on their hard currency-returns

Effects on Output of a Domestic Currency Depreciation Induced by the Balance Sheet Effect
• Contractionary effect in the middle of e ranges
• The balance sheet effect fades for extreme e values (both favorable and unfavorable)
• The effect on output does not depend on the maturity of the foreign currency denominated debt

The Crisis Mechanism
• An expected real devaluation translates into an expected fall in output
• An expected fall in output makes domestic assets unattractive and leads to a flight of funds
• The flight of funds fulfills the expectations of devaluation

Mundell Flemming Framework with Balance Sheet Effect
• (1’) y = d(y,i,eP*/P)+NX(ep*/P,y)
• (2’) M(e)/P=L(y,i) with M decreasing in e –Central Bank’s fear of floating
• Where d(y,i,eP*/P) is a decreasing function of eP*/P

Macroeconomic Developments in Turkey in the Pre-Crisis Period
• External debt of private sector increased more than 10 times since 1987 and more than 3 times vs. the 1994 crisis level, reaching 12% of GDP
• M3/M1 ratio tripled vs. 1994 – development of the financial sector
• Stock market index drop of 50% between April and September 2000
• A banking crisis in November 2000
• Central Bank foreign reserves increased 12 times vs. 1987 and three times vs. 1994 crisis level
• Domestic credit by the central bank eliminated end 1999 (IMF stabilisation agreement) until November 2000 (failing banks bail-out)
• Continuous real appreciation of the Lira with the exception of the 1994 crisis

Empirical Testing of the Balance Sheet Effect in the Case of Turkey
![Page 15: 1 The Turkish Currency Crisis -A Balance Sheet Effect Framework- Place of the Turkish Crisis within the currency crisis framework Introduce a third generation](https://reader036.vdocuments.net/reader036/viewer/2022072006/56649d225503460f949f7c07/html5/thumbnails/15.jpg)

The Variables
• Investment – as measured by the gross capital formation
• HCPI= (CPIt/CPI0)/(et/e0) - hard currency price index
• economic significance = the degree to which domestic firms are able to price-up for the depreciation of their national currency - “Moral Dollarisation”
• Q1,Q2,Q3 – quarterly dummies• C - free term

InterpretationEstimation Command:
=====================
LS(H) DINVEST C DHCPI Q1 Q2 Q3
Estimation Equation:
=====================
DINVEST = C(1) + C(2)*DHCPI + C(3)*Q1 + C(4)*Q2 + C(5)*Q3
Substituted Coefficients:
=====================
DINVEST = -0.4767909993 + 2.950791862*DHCPI - 1.087535506*Q1 + 1.874559665*Q2 + 1.208775582*Q3
• The variation in investment is positively correlated with the variation of HCPI
• As real e is the inverse if HCPI, real e movement will be negativelly correlated with investment, as suggested by the model

Conclusions
• The Balance sheet effect is validated empirically in the case of Turkey
• We can expect a fall in investment induced by the February devaluation

Lessons for other countries
• An expansionary policy of real depreciation will work only if the external financing of the private sector is not important
