It has been a widely investigated issue in the literature that many factors affect the financial and economic development of a country. Extensive regions are covered through the various researches and many variables are utilized to explain whether there exists any connection between the selected variables or not. The aim of this paper is to analyze and interconnect the relationship between the exchange rates, real stock returns, crude oil prices and industrial production level for emerging countries. Toda Yamamoto Augmented VAR for Granger non-causality methodology is followed to determine the linkages and make inferences about the results. VAR variables. Monthly data is used covering the period between January 1990 and December 2016. The results show that there exists a significant causal relationship between production and crude oil prices. It is also evidenced that causality from exchange rates to manufacturing indices can be used to explain the dynamics of the economy of emerging countries. Only causality relation from exchange rates to stock returns is exhibited to be a meaningful relation to interpret the results. Weak causal linkage from stock market returns to industrial production is observed for emerging countries, opposite direction relation is found to be insignificant.

Determination of inflation rate in a hidden markov model framework: Turkey case Aydoğan, Dilek; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe; Yolcu Okur, Yeliz; Department of Financial Mathematics (2015) Inflation is a significant issue that is cared by every segment of society but especially by economists since it plays an important role in the economic problems of countries. In Turkey, inflation has been a substantial problem since 1970s. There is no stability at inflation rates from that time to 2003. The Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey became independent and started to apply implicit inflation target regime at 2001. As a result of these improvements inflation was taken under control at 2004. Alth...
Relationship between oil prices, interest rate, and unemployment: Evidence from an emerging market Dogrul, H. Gunsel; Soytaş, Uğur (Elsevier BV, 2010-11-01) While the interrelation between oil price changes, economic activity and employment is an important issue that has been studied mainly for developed countries, little attention has been devoted to inquiries on fluctuations in the price of crude oil and its impact on employment for small open economies. Adopting an efficiency wage model for equilibrium employment that does not require any assumptions regarding labor supply, this paper contributes to the literature by investigating the causality between unemp...
The impact of military spending and income inequality on economic growth in Turkey Tongur, Unal; Elveren, Adem Yavuz (Informa UK Limited, 2016-05-03) An extensive literature on the effect of military expenditures on economic growth yields conflicting results. However, a crucial issue that has not been investigated in this context is the possible effect of inequality. The impact of military expenditures on economic growth in Turkey has also received substantial attention. Yet, the majority of these studies are not constructed based on a structural model, but rather examine the causality between the variables in question. Considering these two shortcomings...
The political economy of development in a historical context : international and Turkish experiences Baysoy, Emre; Bedirhanoğlu Toker, Pınar; Department of International Relations (2006) The issue of development has generally been perceived as an economic and technical process with little or no relevance to political issues. In contrast to this general understanding, this study aims to underline that development is a complex and primarily a political process. In support of this argument, the study overviews historically the changing meanings as well as ideologies of development since the 19th century with a particular focus on the Turkish case. By doing so, it attempts to recall the idea of...
The Relation between crude oil prices and financial market indicators: a copula approach Öztürk, Derya Ezgi; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe; Küçüközmen, Coşkun; Department of Financial Mathematics (2014) Oil prices have far reaching effects on the economy and financial markets since oil market is one of the most important markets in the world due to its crucial role of oil within economic activity. Although most of the economies are expected to be affected by the changes of oil prices, the magnitude of the effects may change from country to country. Oil-export/import dependent countries are expected to be more open to impacts arousing from changes in oil prices. Turkey, as a heavily oil importing country, i...
