Financial innovations are one of the important factors affecting the development of financial markets and have attracted more attention in the literature especially after the 1980s. In the existing literature, only a few studies investigate financial innovation processes in developing countries. The main purpose of this study is to investigate the factors influencing the emergence and development processes of financial innovations in Turkey. Thus, it is aimed to fill the gap in the development process of financial innovation in developing countries in the literature. In this study, a qualitative data was collected by interviewing with the employees from the first 9 out of the 15 highest ranking banks in Turkey considering the asset size of the banks. In addition to these banks, there was also an interview conducted with an employee from a participation bank. The interviewed employees were working in the headquarter office of the relevant banks and were general managers of innovation department, manager of R&D department, IT specialist or innovation specialist. In the light of the information generated by the interview results, technological developments, changing customer expectations and market conditions, cultural characteristics of society and government regulations are the factors that affect the emergence and development processes of financial innovations in developing and developed countries. Moreover, it is observed that government regulations and the cultural characteristics of society are the most important ones for Turkey among these factors.

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 ...
Financial innovations in developing countries : the case of Turkey Hergüner, Armağan Önder; Ağır, Münis Seven; Department of Economics (2015) Financial innovation is an important phenomenon in the development scheme of financial markets, gaining more ground after the 1980s. The primary aim of this thesis is to investigate two cases of financial innovation in Turkey: Credit card installments and gold accounts. Financial innovation literature lacks an examination of financial innovations in developing countries and does not present any alternative explanations behind their emergence. Differences between institutional structures and the effect of fi...
Drivers of inflation in developing countries Şengül, Zeki Oğulcan; Parmaksız, Ömer Kağan; Cömert, Hasan; Department of Economics (2020-10) This study aims to examine the drivers of inflation for selected developing countries to compare the relative roles of internal and external factors. The study covers the period from 1995 to 2019, using PVAR and VAR Models. In this study, we want to test the hypothesis that the drivers of inflation have changed after the globalization. According to our results, as the world economy globalized, the inflation dynamics changed in favor of the external drivers. The exchange rate is the common driver of in...
The Nature of financial innovations : a post-Schumpeterian analysis Bulgurluoğlu, Pelin; Akdere, Çınla; Department of Economics (2013) This thesis analyzes the nature of financial innovations by taking a post-Schumpeterian approach. The aim of this thesis is to show that Schumpeter’s analysis of entrepreneurial innovation, which takes place in the real economy, proposes also a theoretical framework for understanding the dynamics of financial innovations. Therefore, it suggests that Schumpeterian notion of innovation can be used as a guide in analyzing the dynamics of financial innovations today. In this respect, through the analysis of fin...
Role of financial market imperfections in firm level investment: Panel data evidence from Turkish corporations Fıratlıoğlu Temir, Bahşayiş; Ercan, Hakan; Department of Economics (2003) Research analyzing the sensitivity of investment to internal funds using panel data has grown considerably in the last decade and most of the studies have provided results that internal funds substantially affect investment. Controlling for measurement errors, significant role of liquidity factors in investment equations are generally interpreted as evidence for liquidity constraints arising from various factors related to imperfect financial markets. In Turkey government securities crowd out private financ...
