Several Eurasian markets are considered as potential global financial centers. The main objective of this article is to evaluate the two strong candidates, Russia and Turkey, based on short- and long-run diversification benefits they provide to global investors along with big four global finance centers (US, UK, Hong Kong, Singapore) in the world. To that respect, we investigate both price spillover and volatility spillover effects among global finance centers and the two strong Eurasian candidates. Our results suggest that Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE) has more diversification benefits and is more resilient to risk transfers from other markets compared to Moskow Stock Exchange (MSE).

How do political and economic news affect emerging markets? Evidence from Argentina and Turkey Onder, Zeynep; Simga-Mugan, Can (Informa UK Limited, 2006-07-01) High returns in emerging markets over the last decade have attracted international investors.

Results suggest that both economic and political factors, as well as specific market characteristics, should be taken into consid...

Since there is no volatility spillover f...

Foreign direct investment and technology spillovers in the Turkish manufacturing industry Pamukcu, Mehmet Teoman (IGI Global, 2013-01-01) Technology spillovers from foreign to domestic firms in emerging economies are considered to be the most important channel through which Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) influence the host economy. Empirical evidence about the existence, magnitude and direction of FDI-related spillovers in these countries is contradictory pointingto the necessity of conducting more econometric studies using firm-level data. We conduct an econometric analysis to assess the impact of FDI-related...
International fisher effect: a reexamination within co-integration and dsue frameworks Ersan, Eda; Danışoğlu, Seza; Department of Business Administration (2008) International Fisher Effect (IFE) is a theory in international finance which asserts that the spot exchange rate between countries should move in opposite direction with the interest rate differential between these countries. The aim of this thesis is to analyze whether differences in nominal interest rates between countries and the movement of spot exchange rates between their currencies tend to move together over the long run. The presence of IFE is tested among the G-5 countries and Turkey for the period...
