In this paper we investigate the impact of oil price shocks on the macroeconomy of a developing country, Turkey. In the literature, a number of studies examine the affects of the innovations in oil prices in developed countries. Their results suggest that the oil price changes are important factors in explaining the variation in GDP, inflation, employment, and real stock returns. Only recently, the same effect has been investigated for developing countries. To the extent of our knowledge, no study has examined this relationship for Turkey. Our results seem to differ from the literature in that oil price shocks do not appear to have a significant impact on real stock returns in the Istanbul Stock Exchange.

The Relationship Between Energy Commodity Prices and Electricity and Market Index Performances: Evidence from an Emerging Market Ordu, Beyza Mina; Soytaş, Uğur (2016-01-01) We investigate the effect of energy commodity price movements on market and electricity index returns in Turkey for the periods before, during, and after the year 2008. Although the Turkish economy is highly reliant on oil, we find that oil price does not lead either electricity or market indexes. This might be attributable to sluggish integration of financial markets in Turkey compared to developed markets. Natural gas price leads electricity index in the pre-2008 period. Its significance is reduced follow...
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 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...
The asymmetric impact of oil prices, interest rates and oil price uncertainty on unemployment in the US Kocaarslan, Baris; SOYTAŞ, MEHMET ALİ; Soytaş, Uğur (Elsevier BV, 2020-02-01) In this study, we investigate the presence of asymmetric interactions between oil prices, oil price uncertainty, interest rates, and unemployment in a cointegration framework. Utilizing the nonlinear auto-regressive distributed lag (NARDL) approach, we show the asymmetric responses of unemployment to changes in oil prices, oil price uncertainty and interest rates in the long-run. More specifically, the results of our analyses suggest that an increase in oil price results in increased unemployment while ther...
Do global risk perceptions influence world oil prices? Sarı, Ramazan; Soytaş, Uğur (2011-05-01) This paper investigates the information transmission mechanism between world oil, gold, silver, dollar/euro exchange rate markets, and volatility index (VIX) accommodating for global risk perceptions. We find that there is a unique long run equilibrium relationship, where gold, silver, exchange rate, and risk perceptions appear as long run forcing variables of world oil prices. We uncover that global risk perceptions have a significantly suppressing effect on oil prices in the long run. We also discover tha...
