This paper studies the impact of the intense volatility in world financial markets on the credit default risk spread for the 01.01.2007-31.12.2008 period in Turkey. We use the VIX index which is derived from the S-P 500 option prices to represent the volatility in world financial markets. We find permanent effect of changes in the volatility of interantional financial markets on Turkish credit default premium, İstanbul Stock Exchange (ISE), and the government bond markets. We also discover that the governmet bond markets are also affected by changes in the credit default spread in Turkey. Our results show that international sources of risk should be accounted for in domestic risk measurements.

Testing for rational bubbles in the Turkish stock market
Başoğlu, Fatma; Sezer, Ali Devin; Department of Financial Mathematics (2012)
In this thesis we empirically examine whether the Turkish stock market is driven by rational bubbles over the period between March 1990 and February 2012. The bubble periods are estimated using a recently developed right-tailed unit root test, the generalized sup augmented Dickey-Fuller test of Phillips, Shi and Yu (2011a). Applying their bubble detection and location strategies to weekly price dividend ratio series, we find strong evidence for the existence of rational bubbles in the Turkish stock market b...
