The finding is not compatible with...

Abstract This paper is the first to employ the multivariate cointegration and vector error correction models (VECM) to test McKinnon’s complementarity,hypothesis between money,and capital. We find that for the Turkish economy,over the sample period 1980- 1995 money and capital are complementary, suggesting that higher real interest rates will raise...
