Motivated by this discussion, we provide an empirical analysis by connecting the cost channel to the Phillips relation. Our findings prove the existence of the cost channel. However, other determinants of inflation -labor share of income, prices of imported inputs, and consumption goods -dominate the cost channel in Turkey.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessInflation dynamicsCost channelMonetary transmissionOpen economy New Keynesian Phillips curveGeneralized method of momentsArticleQ2Q255315431553WOS:000708769000001
