This study investigates the existence of the day-of-the-week effect on stock returns in the Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE) for the period between 1988 and 1999. ISE that was established in 1986 is a rapidly growing emerging market for which there are only a few studies that have been conducted and reported. Since emerging markets are becoming good diversification alternatives for international investors, the analysis of stock return behaviour of ISE will be of interest to all investors, domestic and foreign. With this purpose, both ISE National 100 Composite Index, and 30 stocks of ISE for which trade volume is the highest are analysed. The analysis of ISE National 100 Composite index reveals strikingly low Tuesday and dominantly high Friday returns, with return variances at their lowest on Fridays. It is also observed that for most of the stocks among the 30 highly traded stocks of ISE, maximum return is on Fridays whereas minimum return is either on Mondays or Tuesdays with return variances at their highest on Mondays. Moreover for all individual ISE-30 stocks, the day with the maximum return is one of the days after the day with the minimum return.

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...
Stock market returns in an emerging financial market: Turkish case study Gazioglu, Saziye (Informa UK Limited, 2008-01-01) Increased globalization in financial markets implies that the percentage of all shares under foreign ownership in domestic stock markets has been rising. The recent speculative attacks on the foreign exchange market in November 2000, followed by February 2001, led Turkey into a deep economic crisis. Real stock returns as an important indicator for a forthcoming or pending financial crisis, using net capital flows have already been established in Gazioglu (2003). In this article we explore the effects of cap...
Macroeconomics of twin targeting in Turkey analytics of a financial computable general equilibrium model TELLİ, ÇAĞATAY; Voyvoda, Ebru; YELDAN, ALP ERİNÇ (Informa UK Limited, 2008-03-01) The paper provides an overview of the post-1998 Turkish economy and constructs a macroeconomic computable general equilibrium (CGE) model to illustrate the real and financial sectoral adjustments of the Turkish economy under the conditionalities of the 'twin targets': on primary surplus to gross national product (GNP) ratio and on the inflation rate. We further utilize the model to study three sets of issues: (i) the critical role of the expanded foreign capital inflows in resolving the macroeconomic impass...
Interest rates and monetary policy Gazioglu, S.; McCausland, W. D. (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) This article conducts a thorough intertemporal analysis of nominal interest rate based monetary policy. Its main contribution is to show how such a policy can have different effects depending on the assumptions made about the saving and borrowing behaviour of firms. We consider two cases: (i) consumers are savers and firms are borrowers and (ii) both consumers and firms are borrowers (the nation as a whole is borrowing from abroad). In one case we confirm conventional wisdom, but in the other case we find t...
Real wages, profit margins and inflation in Turkish manufacturing under post-liberalization Günay, Aslı; Metin-Ozcan, K; Yeldan, E (Informa UK Limited, 2005-09-10) This article reports investigations into the behaviour of gross profit margins (mark-ups) in Turkish manufacturing industries for the post-1980 liberalization period in relation to price inflation, trade liberalization (openness) and real wage costs. Panel data econometrics over 29 subsectors of Turkish manufacturing are used over the period 1980-1996. Results suggest that profit margins are positively and significantly related both to price inflation and real wage costs. However, openness is found to have ...
