Investors are willing to exploit opportunities to earn abnormal profits. Event studymethodology has received considerable attention to catch these opportunities. How-ever, the literature dealing with short-term reactions to large price movements isquite small regarding emerging markets because of difficulties in collecting intra-day dataset. In this thesis, we contribute to the literature by providing evidence aboutthe existence of overreaction and intraday reversal effect over a 13-year period froman emerging market. The Istanbul Stock Exchange National 100 Index XU100 (BIST100) is chosen for the analyses. The event set includes the days that experience pricechanges exceeding a prespecified threshold at the market open, and hypotheses of theresults are tested using various statistical tests. The results document that overreac-tion in the market lasts only for a few minutes, and reversal happens after the secondminute of the trading day. Additionally, our long-term investigation shows evidencein favor of major magnitudes of reversal as threshold levels rise, consistent with theprevious findings in reversal literature.

Forecasting directional movement of Forex data using LSTM with technical and macroeconomic indicators
Yildirim, Deniz Can; Toroslu, İsmail Hakkı; Fiore, Ugo (2021-01-01)
Forex (foreign exchange) is a special financial market that entails both high risks and high profit opportunities for traders. It is also a very simple market since traders can profit by just predicting the direction of the exchange rate between two currencies. However, incorrect predictions in Forex may cause much higher losses than in other typical financial markets. The direction prediction requirement makes the problem quite different from other typical time-series forecasting problems. In this work, we...
Empirical investigation of the relationship between investors’ average holding periods and price informativeness
Çetin, Müge; Güner, Zehra Nuray; Department of Business Administration (2020)
Short-term trading is alleged to breed informational inefficiency and lead to excess volatility in stock markets. On the other hand, it is observed that investors’ average holding periods are declining steadily all over the world. There is an extensive body of theory on information heterogeneity, the impact of higher order beliefs and short-termism in asset pricing, yet empirical studies testing their implications are scarce. The objective of this thesis is to provide empirical evi...

TEMOÇİN, BÜŞRA ZEYNEP; KORN, Ralf; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe (2018-01-01)
Portfolio insurance strategies are designed to protect investors against adverse market movements by providing an initially specified guarantee during the investment period. This kind of a protection mechanism is especially important for systems with long investment horizons such as pension plans. In this paper, we consider various versions of the Constant Proportion Portfolio Insurance (CPPI) method under discrete-time trading for a defined-contribution pension plan that includes regular contributions of r...

Memorandum on a new financial architecture and new regulations
Mittnik, Stefan; Nell, Edward; Platen, Eckhart; Semmler, Willi; Chappe, Raphaele (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2009-6-1)
The financial crisis is global and is deeply rooted in a decade-long misuse of the financial market for rent-seeking. The financial industry has largely abandoned its role as a service industry, supposedly charging reasonable fees for the services of spreading risk and allocating capital and credit. Instead it provides a market for corporate control –mergers and acquisitions– and a casino for betting on or hedging practically any kind of risk –the derivatives market–.
