ABSTRACT
This paper evaluates monetary policy transmission in both tranquil and turbulent periods for Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Turkey. Using a structural vector autoregressive model, we find that the effect of structural shocks from supply, demand, and financial sources tend to fizzle out faster for Nigeria and Mexico compared to Indonesia and Turkey. Another important finding is that while monetary authorities in Indonesia and Turkey are more responsive to inflation those in Mexico and Nigeria are more influenced by the exchange rate. We also observe differences in the conduct of monetary policy between the tranquil and turbulent periods.

I. INTRODUCTION
The mandate of most central banks, particularly in emerging economies, still revolves around the maintenance of macroeconomic stability (Ngan, 2018; Binici et al., 2019; Egea and Hierro, 2019). Hence, an interesting area of research is the study of the direction and effectiveness of central banks’ monetary policy on prices and the real economy (Yagihashi, 2011; Ascarya, 2012). Among monetary policy transmission channels, the interest rate channel that links the financial and real sectors stands out as a major transmission route in these types of economies (see Ascarya, 2012 for empirical evidence on Indonesia and Binici et al., 2019 for empirical findings on Turkey). This route can be informed by the Taylor rule widely adapted to describe the behavior of central banks, since it accounts for inflation and output gap in setting policy rates (Taylor, 1993, 1999).
This study is therefore motivated to explore the interest rate channel of monetary policy transmission in Mexico, Indonesia, Nigeria, and Turkey, the MINT countries. These are emerging economies that either target inflation directly or indirectly via monetary aggregates (Beju and
Our third contribution revolves around conducting these analyses for calm and turbulent episodes as determined by the Global Financial Crisis (GFC). This is justified by the following. One, a new direction in the finance literature suggests rethinking the practice of monetary policy, given the realities such as the GFC (Mishkin, 2017). Two, evidence suggests that the macroeconomic effect of monetary policy differs considerably across these periods (e.g., Jannsen et al., 2015; Egea and Hierro, 2019). For the empirical analysis, we construct a structural vector autoregression model with strict exogenous variables (i.e.
In the final analyses, we clearly distinguish between the operation of monetary policy in these countries before and after the GFC. We also show that, although inflation in Indonesia and Turkey, which have adopted inflation targeting, exhibits a greater influence on the interest rate, monetary policy responds more to exchange rates in Mexico and Nigeria, although the importance of the level of economic activity has been growing in recent times in Nigeria.
1Froyen and Guender (2017) provide empirical evidence showing that the exchange rate should be included in the Taylor rule, especially in economies where maintenance of exchange rate stability is a policy concern.

Following the motivation for this study, the remainder of the paper is organized as follows. Section II discusses the data and methodology. Section III discusses the results. Section IV checks the robustness of the results. Section V concludes the study.
II. METHODOLOGY AND DATA
We construct a structural
We first specify the following standard VAR model as the baseline for the SVAR model:
|

where |
is a 4×1 vector of endogenous variables (growth rate of |
industrial output, inflation, log differences in the exchange rate, and changes in
the nominal interest rate); is a matrix of contemporaneous effects; |

vector of constants; is a 4×4 matrix of coefficients of lagged series for all |
; |
is a vector of disturbances or structural innovation, serially uncorrelated, with a mean of zero; and p is the optimal lag, obtained using the Schwartz Information Criterion (SIC). The variables are transformed so as to circumvent nonstationarity in their level series.
Since the analysis of the structural VAR requires that the model be identified,
we impose restrictions that satisfy the condition and a recursive approach. The study assumes a simple recursive structure of the model to identify structural shocks. The recursive restrictions derive from the intuition that:
•The interest rate does not have an immediate impact on the output gap.
•There is no contemporaneous relation between current interest rates and prices (inflation and exchange rate).
•The exchange rate does not have a direct impact on aggregate demand; in other words, there is no contemporaneous relation between the exchange rate and output.
2The work is limited to the interest rate channel for brevity, and the analyses can therefore be replicated for other channels for potential generalization of the research findings.
3Other channels of monetary policy transmission (e.g., the credit channel, the balance sheet channel, the asset price channel) have been noted, and strong motivation has been established for the interest rate channel.

|
|
•There is an interest rate rule (i.e., the Taylor rule) that states that central banks take into account current output growth and inflation in setting monetary policy rates.
•Central banks adopt an active stabilizing role in the foreign exchange markets.
From the foregoing, the matrix of contemporaneous effect ( ) is defined
in Table 1. The standard SVAR model described in the analysis is augmented, based on the motivation, by some inherent effects (seasonal effects and structural changes) in the data sets, and the reconstructed model is described as an

absence of contemporaneous effects from the output or the price on the interest rate consists of the operational rigidities in the production process that create a lag between policy pronouncements and production. On the other hand, demand and supply shocks will evoke unanticipated policy responses from the monetary policy authority to remedy their
The paper employs monthly data series for the Industrial Production Index (IPI), the Consumer Price Index (CPI), the Nominal Effective Exchange Rate (NEER), and the Interest Rate (INTR) covering the period from January 2000 to December 2018 for all the MINT countries, except Nigeria, where quarterly data spanning 2000Q1 to 2018Q4 were employed. The data for the other MINT countries were sourced from the International Financial Statistics database, and the data for Nigeria were sourced from the National Bureau of Statistics and the Central Bank of Nigeria databases. The data for the global factors, namely, the oil prices and US interest rates, were obtained from the Federal Reserve database.
III. RESULTS AND DISCUSSION
We attempt to briefly describe the variables of interest in Table 2 and Figures 1 through 3. In the data description, all four MINT countries record average interest rates sufficiently larger than that of the United States (1.95%), with 7.28% for Mexico, 14.02% for Indonesia, 18.17% for Nigeria, and the lowest, 4.81%, for Turkey. Notably, average inflation appears to be the highest in Nigeria (2.99%), where the rate of interest is also the highest, although the reverse cannot be inferred. On the other hand, the IPIs and the nominal effective exchange rates of the countries appear to be close. Figures 1 to 3 show that the variables are associated with the interest rate over time. Evaluation of the time series properties reveals that they are all stationary in the level expressed (for details of the transformation of the series, see the notes for Table 2). These findings are exhaustive, in that the results of both the conventional augmented

For all the countries, the supply shock (i.e., the C3 coefficient) exerts positive effects on the interest rate in the calm period (i.e.,
Beyond the contemporaneous relations, we employ impulse response functions to show the responses of the interest rate to the three macroeconomic shocks, that is, supply, demand, and financial shocks. By design, impulse response functions also determine whether the effects of these shocks are transient or permanent. The impulse response functions in Figures 4a to 4d are arranged in rows and columns such that the rows show the results of the analysis for the
The analysis shows that all three shocks are transient in the system, although it took different time horizons for this to be achieved in each country. The transitory nature of the shocks is shown in Figures 4a to 4d by the blue line in between the +2 standard deviations (upper and lower dotted red lines) being tangential to the horizontal line at the specified period. Just as the findings revealed under the contemporaneous effects, the plots show evidence of contrasting relations, shown by the impulse response functions for pre- and

The decompositions of the variances due to the interest rate are reported in Table 4, showing highlights for periods 1, 5, and 10. The results show that that the exchange rate is more important to monetary policy in Mexico in both calm and turbulent times. In Indonesia and Turkey, the relative importance rests more on inflation, although the exchange rate is also key in Turkey. This finding could be attributed to the fact that, in these economies, the monetary authorities target prices (Wulandari, 2012; Beju and

Table 4.
Variance Decomposition of the Monetary Shock
This table presents the variance decomposition of shocks due to monetary policy. The Cholesky ordering is as follows: IPI, Inflation, NEER and INTR. The 1st, 5th and 10th periods are selected for brevity. The GFC denotes the Global Financial Crisis while the periods before and after GFC are described as Pre- and Post GFC.

IV. ROBUSTNESS TESTS
We take two steps to establish the validity of our findings. First, we use an alternative proxy for the global oil price, using Brent in place of WTI. Second, and in an attempt to address the price puzzle in monetary policy shock analysis, we adopt a different recursive ordering. In the alternative ordering, inflation does not have an immediate impact on the exchange rate, whereas, in the main analysis, the exchange rate does not have a contemporaneous effect on inflation. The results of the alternative

Table 5.
Contemporaneous Effects (Robustness)
In this table, C1, C2 and C3 represent the contemporaneous effects of IPI on inflation, exchange rate and interest rate, respectively. C4 and C5 are the contemporaneous effects of inflation on interest rate, and C6 is the contemporaneous effect of exchange rate on interest rate. Superscripts a & b represent 1% and 5% significance levels, respectively. Values in parenthesis are standard errors of the relevant coefficients.

V. CONCLUSION
This paper examines the transmission of shocks from IPI growth and the inflation and exchange rate to the interest rate in the MINT countries, with distinct analyses for tranquil (before the GFC) and turbulent periods (during and after the GFC). The study adopts a structural
