Abstract (2. Language): 
Vector autoregressive models have been widely used in recent years to analyze the effects of monetary policy shocks. Focusing on the US postwar data, we incorporate new measures of financial and monetary policy shocks in V A R systems to test whether both perturbations have real effects on output and on the economy as a whole. We find econometric evidences that these frictions are exogenous. The exogenous nature and real effects on the economy of shocks to monetary policy and stock market crashes shed new light on the debate relates to the role of monetary policy in the aftermath of financial crisis, and then the eventual relationship between optimal monetary policy and financial stability.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Vektör otoregresif (VAR) modeller son yıllarda para politikası şoklarının etkilerini incelemek için yaygın bir şekilde kullanılmıştır. Makalede İkinci Dünya Savaşı sonrası Amerika Birleşik Devletleri'nin verilerine odaklanarak, finans ve para politikası şoklarını VAR sistemlerindeki yeni ölçümlerine yer veriyor ve her iki düzensizliğin çıktı ve ekonominin tümü üzerinde reel etkileri olup olmadığını test ediyoruz. Bu sürtüşmelerin dışsal olduğunu gösteren ekonometrik kanıtlar buluyoruz. Para politikası şoklarının ve borsadaki büyük düşüşlerin dışsal doğası ve ekonomi üzerindeki reel etkileri, finansal kriz sonrası para politikasının rolüne dair tartışmalara ve optimal para politikası ile finansal istikrar arasındaki ilişkiye yeni bir açıdan yaklaşmamızı sağlıyor.
