This thesis analyzes the bank-specific, industry-specific and macroeconomic determinants of bank profitability (ROA) in 31 OECD Countries between 2000 and 2009 using a panel data. Each country‟s banking sector is treated as a single representative bank. Fixed effects model is used in the study. Deposits, capitalization, non-interest income, GDP growth are found to have a positive impact on bank profitability while non-performing loans, operating expenses and financial sector development have negative effect. Evidence is found on country-specific effects in bank profitability determinants. Also, analyses show that, operating expenses and financial sector development have positive impact on large banks‟ profitability. Finally, financial sector development has no significant effect on bank profitability in emerging countries.

This thesis analyses various aspects of the impacts of U.S. macroeconomic indicators (as GDP Growth, CPI and unemployment rates) and their scheduled announcements on the stock markets of U.S. and a selection other countries (U.K., Australia, Japan, China, and Brazil) for 10 years between 2007 and 2016. The study includes analyses related to intraday, daily and monthly return rates, and daily trade volumes of selected stock indices. The analyses show that, U.S. stock market is more likely to affect the stock...
Business cycles in emerging market economies: the role of financial shocks
Pirgan Matur, Eser; Parmaksız, Ömer Kağan; Kılınç, Mustafa; Department of Economics (2014)
This dissertation documents the differences in the course of macroeconomic volatility in emerging market economies and advanced countries. Then the dynamics of emerging market business cycles and macroeconomic effects of financial shocks are investigated using a small open economy real business cycle model with credit constraints calibrated to the Turkish economy. The results indicate that the impact of financial shocks crucially depends on whether the firms can access to alternative sources of finance when...
Analyzing the profit efficiency of the Turkish banking sector after the BRSA restructuring program in 2001: an empirical study using stochastic frontier approach between the years of 2002-2009
Hatunoğlu, Hande; Akbostancı Özkazanç, Elif; Department of Economics (2012)
This thesis analyzes the profit efficiency of the Turkish banking sector after the restructuring program by using Stochastic Frontier Approach. 28 banks are included in the analysis and the data belongs to the period 2002-2009. Profit efficiency scores of 28 banks are estimated by SFA. When the efficiency scores are analyzed according to the ownership status, profit efficiency scores of the state owned banks are found higher than other bank groups. Moreover, according to the asset size, large scale banks’ p...
Measuring cost efficiency of Turkish commercial banks : a stochastic frontier approach
Güneş, Hakan; Yıldırım Kasap, Dilem; Department of Economics (2013)
This study examines cost efficiency of Turkish commercial banks through a stochastic frontier approach where the inefficiency effects are approximated by a set of bank-specific variables. Empirical results reveal that intermediation ratio, deposits divided by liabilities and labor per branch are the main determinants of the inefficiency of Turkish commercial banks. Moreover, it is observed that cost efficiency of all commercial banks has an upward trend until 2008 and it takes 10 quarters to recover from th...
Managing financial instability in emerging markets: A Keynesian perspective
Akyüz, Yılmaz (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2008-6)
The Keynesian analysis of financial instability as developed by Hyman Minsky provides considerable insights into understanding the nature and dynamics of boom-bust cycles driven by international capital flows in emerging markets. Its main policy conclusion that financial control rather than macroeconomic policy holds the key to financial stability is equally valid. There is, however, need to develop a new approach to financial control and place greater emphasis on managing capital inflows than has hitherto ...
