The aim of this paper is to analyze impacts of the announcement of the corporate income tax change on asset prices in Turkey in 2005. Prime Minister of Turkey in his speech in his political party group meeting in Turkish Grand National Assembly announced the decline in corporate income tax rate on November 29, 2005. He indicated that the corporate tax rate would be decreased from 30% to 20% starting from the next year. In line with the market efficiency hypothesis, we use event study methodology to measure the effects of this announcement on asset prices. To the best of our knowledge, we are the first to analyze impacts of the announcement of the corporate income tax change in Turkey in 2005 on asset prices using substantially large data sets. Kandır and Yakar (2012) investigates the same announcement with quite small sample set which contains only five companies among highest corporate income tax payers in Istanbul Stock Exchange Market and they conclude that reaction of stock returns are significant. We obtain that there is no significant change in asset prices in the event period using two different large sample sets and three different methodologies. This result is parallel to the fact that asset prices in semi-efficient stock markets reflect publicly available information.

The Effects of tax amnesties on tax revenues and shadow economy in Turkey
Kara, Hüseyin; Derin Güre, Pınar; Department of Economics (2014)
This thesis analyzes tax revenue and shadow economy implications of tax amnesties in Turkey after 1985. Cross-examination of amnesty effects was carried out through Ordinary Least Squares regression and Error Correction Model. In addition to amnesty years, pre and post effects of amnesties on revenue and shadow economy are analyzed. Results indicate that none of the amnesties necessarily display an escalating behavior for tax revenue except for 1988 amnesty. 1988 amnesty is found to increase tax revenue bot...

Currency and asset substitution in Turkey
Taşdemir, Özlem; Özmen, Erdal; Department of Economics (2003)
This study investigates the determinants and effects of currency and asset substitution in Turkey using quarterly data from 1987:1 to 2002:4. The empirical results from the application of Johansen procedure to a four-variable system containing currency-asset substitution proxy (M2Y/M2)), real income, real exchange rate, and ratchet effect proxy (past peak values of the depreciation of the real exchange rate) suggest the presence of a single cointegration vector among the variables. The results further sugge...
