In this paper we examine the characteristics and stability of individual stock and portfolio betas of stocks listed in the Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE) using samples of 500 individual stocks and 500 portfolios of 10 stocks each. We begin with a methodology similar to the basic event study methodology and collect data for the samples around 500 randomly chosen “event dates”. Using these samples we first estimate betas and changes in betas using the Market Model and OLS on logreturns. Second, we aggregate our findings concerning changes in betas by using a binomial test. Even though we find evidence supporting significant relationships between market returns and both individual stock and portfolio returns, the evidence does not seem to support that these relationships are stable. Furthermore, we do not find evidence showing that portfolio betas are more stable than individual betas.

Stability in the ISE: Betas for Stocks and Portfolios Oran, Adil; Soytaş, Uğur (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2009) In this paper we examine the characteristics and stability of individual stock and portfolio betas of stocks listed in the Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE) using samples of 500 individual stocks and 500 portfolios of 10 stocks each. We begin with a methodology similar to the basic event study methodology and collect data for the samples around 500 randomly chosen “event dates”.

The inflation-hedging properties of Turkish REITs Erol, Işıl; Tirtiroglu, Dogan (Informa UK Limited, 2008-01-01) This study empirically tests the inflation-hedging abilities of Turkish REITs in comparison to the indices of common stocks listed on the Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE) over the period December 1999 to December 2004. Two main factors motivate this study. First, compared to their counterparts in developed capital markets, Turkish REITs have some important tax incentives as well as flexibility in managing their portfolios. Second, the Turkish economy provides a rare and good opportunity to test the hedging beh...
Financial market integration in the EU and probable effects on Turkish stock market Buzlupınar, Elif; Ege, Aylin; Department of European Studies (2008) The aim of this thesis is to analyze the probable effects of integration with European stock markets on stock market in Turkey as an acceding country. The required changes in Turkey’s legal framework and economic effects on Turkish stock market have been examined by reference to the current legal framework of the EU and the measures that can be defined as reform within the dynamic integration process of the EU. It is determined that adopting the legal framework of the EU will have numerous effects on all th...
Analysis of Turkish stock market with Markov regime switching volatility models Karadağ, Mehmet Ali; Danışoğlu, Seza; Department of Financial Mathematics (2008) In this study, both uni-regime GARCH and Markov Regime Switching GARCH (SW-GARCH) models are examined to analyze Turkish Stock Market volatility. We investigate various models to find out whether SW-GARCH models are an improvement on the uni-regime GARCH models in terms of modelling and forecasting Turkish Stock Market volatility. As well as using seven statistical loss functions, we apply Superior Predictive Ability (SPA) test of Hansen (2005) and Reality Check test (RC) of White (2000) to compare forecast...
Robust portfolio planning in the presence of market anomalies Oguzsoy, Cemal Berk; Güven, Sibel (Elsevier BV, 2007-02-01) In this study, a short-term portfolio modeling formulation is developed using existing anomalies as a single determinant for daily Istanbul Stock Exchange National 100 Composite Index (ISE) and US dollars (USD) returns in a Robust optimization (RO) framework. Using anomalies in planning within an RO framework establishes a balance between risk seeking and risk averse behaviors, as generating profit from anomalies is risky and RO enables to settle down the extreme risk seeking behavior. Applications of the m...
