This thesis investigates the effects of structural vulnerabilities on the nexus between exchange rate and inflation in Emerging Markets for the recent time period. It is observed that there is a considerable heterogeneity among Emerging Markets regarding selected vulnerability sources. In the study, firstly EM countries are classified into two subgroups as "highly vulnerable" and "low vulnerable" according to median levels for each categorization. Then, the possible differences between high and low country groups in terms of exchange rate pass-through (ERPT) to inflation is examined. Results show that more resilient EM countries are experiencing lower ERPT levels. For instance, countries with higher level of dollarization shows higher ERPT compared to lower dollarization group. Moreover, countries with higher current account deficit or external financing need shows higher ERPT levels. Additionally, higher level of inflation, higher country risk premium and higher foreign currency debt can be associated with increasing ERPT. On the other hand, countries with higher reserve adequacy or higher foreign direct investment shows lower ERPT compared to lower EM groups.

The Impact of Macro-Economic Drivers in Housing Markets: The US Cas Yılmaz, Bilgi; Yerlikaya Özkurt, Fatma; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe (2021-08-01) This paper analyzes the effect of macro-economic, financial and commodity market indicators on housing markets. We compare the efficiency of the models generated by Generalized Linear Models (GLM) and Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS) according to method free measures for estimating the housing market trend. These models are used for the first time to identify the influence of macro-economic indicators on housing markets and the estimation of the trend in housing markets to our best knowledge....
The impact of crude oil prices on financial market indicators: copula approach Kayalar, Derya Ezgi; KÜÇÜKÖZMEN, CUMHUR ÇOŞKUN; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe (2017-01-01) Oil price changes have varying impacts on the financial indicators of global markets and economies. This study aims to explore the dependence structure between crude oil prices and stock market indices, as well as the exchange rates in a number of economies categorized with respect to their status as developing/emerging markets, and oil importer/exporter countries. Dependence structures in this study are evaluated in considerable depth using copula models. The broad time period covered allows the investigat...
The role of foreign investors in the İstanbul Stock Exchange Usta, Murat; Güner, Zehra Nuray; Department of Business Administration (2003) This master thesis examines the role of foreign investors in the Istanbul Stock Exchange in three dimensions: differences among sectors and subsectors in terms of foreign trading activity, the effect of November 2000 ا February 2001 crisis on returns and foreign trading activity, and the relationship between return and foreign trading activity.

The Possibility of financial crisis in Developing Countries under flexible exchange rate regimes : a multidimensional approach Çolak, Mehmet Selman; Cömert, Hasan; Department of Economics (2012) Many economists and politicians have blamed fixed exchange rate regimes for several crises taking place in developing countries after the 1980s. According to them, since the beginning of the 2000s, widespread implementation of flexible exchange rate regimes and high international reserves have prevented developing countries from experiencing similar catastrophic experiences. This interpretation seems to be misleading. We believe that even flexible exchange rate regimes with high international reserves do no...
The Effects of exchange rates, oil prices, global risk perceptions and global warming on food prices Dağdelen, Derya; Soytaş, Uğur; Department of Business Administration (2012) This thesis examines the relationship between food prices, oil prices, carbon emission prices, exchange rates and global risk perception. To obtain the effects of these variables on the food prices, Toda and Yamamoto procedure is employed for 5-day week daily time series covering the period February 27, 2008 and March 21, 2011. The empirical results indicate that only volatility index Granger causes food prices. Furthermore, according to results of generalized impulse response plots food prices respond to a...
