This paper analyzes return enhancement patterns of Turkish REITs (T-REITs) from various perspectives over the period of July 2008 and March 2015. We find that T-REITs portfolio provides a slightly lower level of risk diversification benefit than investment trusts, but higher than the banks. The evidence suggests that portfolio managers and investors may not only be able to utilize knowledge deriving from the CAPM, but also utilize information retrieved from Fama-French model due to its relatively better performance on capturing the variation in T-REITs returns. Results also disclose that T-REITs show a degree of diversity in property focus, and reveal mainly defensive, small and financially distressed characteristics. Finally, based on the multiple observations, a case can be made for a possible linkage between property focus and yield improvement/risk taking structure of T-REITs. This study provides implications for the capacity of T-REITS and improve return enhancement capacity in an efficient portfolio management. Copyright (c) 2017, Borsa Istanbul Anonim Sirketi.

OUTPUT-EMPLOYMENT RELATIONSHIP ACROSS SECTORS: A LONG- VERSUS SHORT-RUN PERSPECTIVE ŞAHİN, AFŞİN; Tansel, Aysıt; BERUMENT, MAHMUT HAKAN (2015-07-01) This paper investigates the nature of the output-employment relationship by using the Turkish quarterly data for the period 1988-2008. Even if we fail to find a long-run relationship between aggregate output and total employment, there are long-run relationships for the aggregate output with non-agricultural employment and sectoral employment levels for seven of nine sectors that we consider. However, a further investigation for the output and employment relationship within a short-run perspective does not ...
A Note on Cross Section of Stock Returns on the Istanbul Stock Exchange Kayaçetin, Nuri Volkan; Güner, Zehra Nuray (Boğaziçi Üniversitesi, 2007-01-01) This paper investigates the explanatory powers of firm size, book-to-market, sales-to-price, debt-toequity ratio, and dividend yield on the cross-section of returns on the Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE). Our results indicate that each of these variables (except dividend yield), commands a significant return premium when included in a simple regression model with the highest premium being associated with sales-to-price ratio. Our results suggest that sales-to-price ratio and debt-to-equity ratio have higher e...
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...
Economic Crises in Turkey and Pathways to the Future Çınar, Süleyman Kürşat (2015-04-03) This paper investigates the Turkish economy within a comparative historical framework. In light of a thorough discussion of Turkish economic crises in the post-1980 period, the paper explores Turkey's contemporary strengths and weaknesses in the global economic arena by comparing it with its peers and developed nations. The paper also highlights Turkey's extant economic vulnerabilities, especially its current account deficit, volatile international capital flows and ongoing banking sector problems. Along wi...
Affordances and Emergence of Concepts Atıl, Ilkay; Dağ, Nilgün; Kalkan, Sinan; Şahin, Erol (2010-11-05) In this paper, we used the affordance formalization framework (Sahin et al; Adaptive Behavior, 15(4), 447-472, 2007) to link the concepts represented by verbs and nouns in language to the affordance relations that a robot acquires through its interaction with the environment. First, we argued that a verb is linked not to a specific behavior of the robot, but to a specific effect that different behaviors may generate. We showed how demonstrations made by a human can allow the robot to learn an effect pr...
