The purpose of this thesis is to identify the factors playing a key role in the determination of the Turkish stock market liquidity in aggregate terms in a time series context and discuss the joint dynamics of the market-wide liquidity with its selected determinants and the trade volume. The main determinants tested are the level of return, the return volatility and the monetary stance of the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey. The expected positive relationship between the liquidity and the return is confirmed, while the negative effect of the volatility on liquidity appears one-week later. The behavior of various liquidity variables are also examined around the macroeconomic data announcement dates, during the 2008 financial crisis, and after the tick size change in the Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE). The time series dynamics between the trade volume, return, volatility and the liquidity are put forward within the Vector Autoregression analysis framework. The GARCH modeling of the return series, which is an input to the liquidity model estimations, is a byproduct of this thesis. It is observed that the return series exhibits volatility clustering, persistence, leverage effects and mean reversion. In addition, while the level of the ISE market return decreased, the volatility of the return increased during the 2008 crisis. Accordingly, EGARCH model assuming normally distributed error terms and allowing a shift in the variance during the crisis period is chosen as the best model.

How does the stock market volatility change after inception of futures trading? Esen, İnci; Danışoğlu, Seza; Department of Financial Mathematics (2007) As the trading volume in TURKDEX, the first and only options and futures exchange in Turkey, increases, it becomes more important to have an understanding of the effect of stock index futures trading on the underlying spot market volatility. In this respect, this thesis analyzes the effect of ISE-National 30 index futures contract trading on the underlying stocks’ volatility. In this thesis, spot portfolio volatility is decomposed into two components and this decomposition is applied to a single-factor retu...
Cross sectional determinants of Turkish stock market returns Çeliker, Umut; Rhoades, Seza; Department of Business Administration (2004) This thesis analyzes the relationship between stock returns and firm-specific characteristics including market beta, size, book-to-market ratio, leverage, earnings yield, net sales-to-price ratio and prior return performance in Istanbul Stock Exchange during the period 1993-2003. Moreover, the predictability of some macroeconomic variables based on the stock market return behavior is investigated.
Trade-based manipulation in financial markets İmişiker, Serkan; Gaygısız Lajunen, Esma; Department of Economics (2013) The purpose of this thesis is to empirically explore the characteristics of the monetary transmission mechanism, with a particular emphasis on the role of banks, in Turkey. By looking at the banking sector at the micro level and exploiting dynamic panel data modeling approaches, the heterogeneity in banks’ response in terms of their lending and risk-taking to changes in policy interest rates is analyzed. The first essay is an empirical analysis of the bank lending channel of monetary transmission. In this r...
Volatility indexes and an implementation of the Turkish BIST 30 index Karakurt, Caner; Uğur, Ömür; Department of Financial Mathematics (2018) In 1993, by representing of CBOE Vix, global financial markets met volatility indexes. In 2003, methodology of the CBOE Vix is updated and it took the form which used today. Day after day, volatility indexes have attracted more and more investors and financial institutions, and soon volatility indexes have succeeded in becoming one of the most followed financial indicators.

Stock Returns Economic Growth Interest Rates and the 2001 Crisis in Turkey Ülkem, Başdaş; Soytaş, Uğur (2010-01-01) This paper investigates the relationship between economic growth and stock returns accounting for the interest rates and inflation in Turkey between 1997:1 and 2008:6. The Toda-Yamamoto procedure is used to test long run Granger causality between real stock returns, real activity, and interest rates. Empirical results show that over the period we study causality running from stock returns to real growth and from interest rates to real growth. After the 2001 crisis the link between real growth and real stock...
