This study examines dynamic causal interrelationships among financial development, energy consumption, and economic growth in the emerging markets by focusing on accounting for structural changes in causal linkages. We first employ the Toda-Yamamoto causality framework and later augment it with Fourier approximation to account for structural shifts – including gradual/smooth shifts. The empirical findings show that accounting for gradual structural shifts matter for the causal linkages between financial development and energy consumption. The causality analysis which does not account for structural changes supports a causal linkage between financial development and energy consumption only in four out of 20 emerging markets. The causality analysis with structural changes provides a causal linkage in half of the emerging markets. This finding is consistent with the fact that emerging markets have experienced structural changes in either finance or energy sectors or both.

Financial development and energy consumption in emerging markets: Smooth structural shifts and causal linkages
Durusu-Ciftci, Dilek; Soytaş, Uğur; NAZLIOĞLU, ŞABAN (Elsevier BV, 2020-03-01)
This study examines the dynamic interrelationships among financial development, energy consumption, and economic growth in emerging markets by focusing on accounting for structural changes in causal linkages. We first employ the Toda-Yamamoto causality framework and then augment it with a Fourier approximation which captures structural shifts as a gradual/smooth process. The empirical findings show that taking into account gradual structural shifts matters for the causal linkages between financial developme...
Financial crises and the nature of correlation between commodity and stock markets
ÖZTEK, MEHMET FATİH; Öcal, Nadir (2017-03-01)
This paper models time-varying correlations between commodity and stock markets to uncover the dynamic nature of correlations during the financialization of commodity markets and in the aftermath of the recent financial crisis. Particularly, we search for upward trends in correlations and investigate the impacts of global and market volatility, and the news from the markets on the time-varying structure of correlations. The focus is on two commodity sub-indices; agricultural commodity and precious metal. Ne...
Demand following or supply leading? A panel data analysis for developed, developing, and less developed countries
Akıncı, Gönül Yüce; Akıncı, Merter; Yılmaz, Ömer (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2013-12-1)
In this paper, the linkages between financial development and economic growth in developed, developing and less developed countries are investigated using unbalanced panel cointegration and causality analysis in the period of 1980 – 2011. The results of the Pedroni cointegration analysis show the existence of cointegration relations between financial development and economic growth for whole country groups, but Kao cointegration analysis indicates the long – run relationship between the related variables fo...
Exchange Rate Regimes and Business Cycles: An Empirical Investigation
Erdem, Fatma Pinar; Özmen, Erdal (2015-11-01)
This paper empirically investigates the impacts of domestic and external factors along with exchange rate regimes (ERRs) on business cycles in a large panel of advanced and emerging market economies (EME). The results for classical business cycles suggest that EME tend to experience much deeper recessions and relatively steeper expansions during almost the same duration. The probability of expansions significantly increases with ERR flexibility. Our results strongly support floating ERR for both advanced an...
Information frictions and the effects of news media bias on consumption /
Aşçıoğlu, Mert; Voyvoda, Ebru; Department of Economics (2014)
This thesis develops a model that incorporates information frictions and consumption behavior in order to explain the observations of higher volatility of consumption as well as its excess sensitivity to income in the developing countries. The information frictions in the model arise both from the information source, specified as the biased news media, and the conditions of the consumers that affect the costs they face in forming full information rational expectations. These two channels are argued to be mo...
