    Journal Article

    A successful fiscal discipline applied with central banks' price stability target or inflation targeting strategy contributes to the improvement of the coordination between monetary and fiscal policy. On the other hand, the emergence of financial dominance and weakening the independence of the central banks brings with it many problems. In this regard, the aim of the study is to investigate the nexus between fiscal dominance and central bank independence empirically. Unlike other studies, in this study Non-Eurozone EU countries (Bulgaria, Czech Republic, Croatia, Denmark, Hungary, Latvia, Lithuania, Poland, Romania, Sweden, and UK) and Turkey, which is in candidate status to European Union, were taken as a sample. The results of panel cointegration and causality tests conducted with the 2000-2016 period data show that there is a cointegration relationship and bi-directional causality between fiscal dominance and central bank independence. Besides that dynamic ordinary least squares (DOLS) cointegration estimator results express that when fiscal dominance increases 1%, central bank independence decreases 0.22% and specific results of countries differ by countries.
