This study examines the monthly returns in Turkish and American stock market indices to investigate whether these markets experience abnormal returns during some months of the calendar year. The data used in this research includes 212 observations between January 1996 and August 2014. I apply statistical summary analysis, decomposition technique, dummy variable estimation, and binary logistic regression to check for the monthly market anomalies. The multidimensional methods used in this article suggest weak evidence against the efficient market hypothesis on monthly returns. While some months tend to show abnormal returns, there is no absolute unanimity in the applied approaches. Nevertheless, there is a strikingly negative May effect on the Turkish stocks following a positive return in April. Stocks tend to be bullish in December in both markets, yet we do not observe anya significant January effect is not observed.

Dynamic correlations between BRIC and U.S. stock markets: The asymmetric impact of volatility expectations in oil, gold and financial markets Kocaarslan, BARIŞ; Sarı, Ramazan; GORMUS, Alper; Soytaş, Uğur (2017-09-01) This study investigates the impacts of volatility expectations in oil, gold, currency and the U.S. stock markets on time-varying conditional correlations between BRIC and U.S. stock markets. We use asymmetric dynamic conditional correlation and dynamic conditional correlation models to derive the time-varying relationships. We then examine the dynamic conditional correlations using quantile regressions for a detailed analysis of dependence structure containing non-linear and asymmetric interactions. Our res...
Forecasting Turkish real GDP growth in a data-rich environment Sen Dogan, Bahar; Midilic, Murat (2019-01-01) This study generates nowcasts and forecasts for the growth rate of the gross domestic product in Turkey using 204 daily financial series with mixed data sampling (MIDAS) framework. The daily financial series include commodity prices, equity indices, exchange rates, and global and domestic corporate risk series. Forecasting exercises are also carried out with the daily factors extracted from separate financial data classes and from the whole dataset. The findings of the study suggest that MIDAS regression mo...
The effect of financial news on BIST stock prices: a machine learning approach Kanmaz, Medet; Küçükşenel, Serkan; Department of Economics (2018) This thesis examines the relationship between the price data of companies in different sectors in the Borsa Istanbul (BIST) stock exchange and the verbal data revealed in the financial news related to these companies. In this work, sentiment analysis, natural language processing and the effect of financial news on individual stock performances are studied with a simple and novel method. Sentiment analysis is created by automatically labelling the news for companies publicly traded in BIST as positive or neg...
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.
Testing for rational bubbles in the Turkish stock market Başoğlu, Fatma; Sezer, Ali Devin; Department of Financial Mathematics (2012) In this thesis we empirically examine whether the Turkish stock market is driven by rational bubbles over the period between March 1990 and February 2012. The bubble periods are estimated using a recently developed right-tailed unit root test, the generalized sup augmented Dickey-Fuller test of Phillips, Shi and Yu (2011a). Applying their bubble detection and location strategies to weekly price dividend ratio series, we find strong evidence for the existence of rational bubbles in the Turkish stock market b...
