In oduc ion A cen al bank which adop s a mone a y policy s a egy selec s a nominal ancho ha is publicly p esen ed (Lakic, Seho ic & D asko ic, 2016).

Pu di e en ly, he expec a ion managemen o he cen al bank can ensu e ha he public’s in la ion expec a ion will be equal o in la ion a ge . This means he ancho ing o in la ion expec a ions. Hence, he cen al bank mus manage and ancho in la ion expec a ions o he success ul conduc o mone a y policy (Wong, 2015). The cen al bank, he e o e, adjus s sho - e m in e es a es so ha in la ion expec a ion is equal o in la ion a ge (see e.g., S ensson, 1997; Cla ida, Gali & Ge le , 1998, 1999, 2000). The Cen al Bank o he Republic o Tu key (CBRT) adop ed in la ion a ge ing in 2006.

Hence, one can a gue ha in la ion is downwa dly s ic in Tu key. Expec ed in la ion a e o pe iod a -12 pe iod means 12-mon h ahead expec ed in la ion a e a -12 pe- iod. Simila ly, expec ed in la ion a e o pe iod a -24 pe iod means 24-mon h ahead expec ed in la ion a e a -24 pe iod. To keep i simple, hese da a migh be demons a ed. Fo ins ance, 24-mon h ahead expec ed in la ion a e was 4.82% in Ap il 2006 while 12-mon h ahead expec ed in la ion a e was 6.77% in Ap il 2007. Then, he ac ual in la ion a e was 9.66% in Ap il 2008.

In addi ion o hese e en s, one o he easons o missing in la ion a ge s migh be ela ed o in la ion expec- a ions ha a e conside able o he success o mone a y policy. This is because in la ion expec a ions in Tu key a e usually low compa ed o ac ual in la ion a es and high as compa ed o in la ion a ge s. Then, some ques ions appea o be impo an o Tu key: wha de e mines and does no de e mine in la ion expec a ions in Tu key? Do decision make s and expe s in Tu key conside all a ailable and necessa y in o ma ion when o ming hei in la ion expec a ions? The answe s o hese ques ions help esea che s and policy make s o ind ou he easons o low in la ion expec a ions and a e e y conside able in e ms o success o he mone a y policy in Tu key. This pape ocuses on hese ques ions. In o he wo ds, his pape analyses he de e minan s o 12-mon h ahead and 24-mon h ahead in la ion expec a ions in Tu key by using mon hly da a om Ap il 2006 o Decembe 2016.

The da a a e mon hly and co e he pe iod om Ap il 2006 o Decembe 2016 since he CBRT has announced 24-mon h ahead in la ion expec a ions since Ap il 2006. Following Baskaya e al.

The model includes pas in la ion a e as public closely ollows pas in la ion a es (Baskaya e al., 2010).
