This study examines the effects of the exchange rate volatility and the firm-specific features representing the liquidity, profitability, and leverage performance of firms on excess stock returns for the manufacturing firms listed in Borsa İstanbul (BIST) using dynamic panel data model. The exchange rate volatility is modeled by single regime generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (GARCH) models and Markov-switching GARCH (MSGARCH) models. The MSGARCH models show evidence that the evolution of the volatility process is heterogeneous across the different regimes. The principal component analysis method is employed to 8 financial ratios for the purpose of data reduction to identify the principal components that best represent firm-specific features. 4 components are identified and account for 83% of the total variance in the original dataset of 8 financial ratios. Empirical results from the dynamic panel data generalized method of moments (GMM) models imply that more volatile exchange rates are associated with much lower stock returns. The results also suggest that the excess stock returns of manufacturing firms increase with their liquidity, profitability, and leverage.

Cross sectional determinants of Turkish stock market returns Çeliker, Umut; Rhoades, Seza; Department of Business Administration (2004) This thesis analyzes the relationship between stock returns and firm-specific characteristics including market beta, size, book-to-market ratio, leverage, earnings yield, net sales-to-price ratio and prior return performance in Istanbul Stock Exchange during the period 1993-2003. Moreover, the predictability of some macroeconomic variables based on the stock market return behavior is investigated.
Dynamics of bank profitability: Evidence from Turkey Saniç, Yusuf Halit; Şendeniz Yüncü, İlkay (ODTÜ İktisadi ve İdari Bilimler Fakültesi, 2021-6-31) This study examines whether the capital adequacy ratio, which is calculated with risk- weighted assets, explains the bank profitability in Turkey, and whether profitability dynamics vary for different bank sizes. This paper also aims to examine the effects of international trade between the EU-28 and Turkey on bank profitability. Our bank profitability measures are; return on assets, return on equity, and net interest margin. Our results show evidence of a positive...
Effects of opening trading mechanism and information flow on return volatility: additional evidence from the Istanbul Stock Exchange Başer, Alper; Danışoğlu, Seza; Department of Business Administration (2009) In this study, the effects of opening trading mechanism and information flow on return volatility are examined in the Istanbul Stock Exchange. The change in the morning opening mechanism from a continuous auction to a call auction on February 2, 2007 and the extension in afternoon trading hours on September 7, 2007 provide unique opportunities in this respect. First, it is found that the call auction trading mechanism has a decreasing effect on the morning open-to-open interday volatility and morning intrad...
Dynamic correlations between BRIC and U.S. stock markets: The asymmetric impact of volatility expectations in oil, gold and financial markets Kocaarslan, BARIŞ; Sarı, Ramazan; GORMUS, Alper; Soytaş, Uğur (2017-09-01) This study investigates the impacts of volatility expectations in oil, gold, currency and the U.S. stock markets on time-varying conditional correlations between BRIC and U.S. stock markets. We use asymmetric dynamic conditional correlation and dynamic conditional correlation models to derive the time-varying relationships. We then examine the dynamic conditional correlations using quantile regressions for a detailed analysis of dependence structure containing non-linear and asymmetric interactions. Our res...
Incorporation of Foreign Exchange Risk to Fama-French Factor Model: A Study on Borsa İstanbul Höçük, Furkan; Gaygısız Lajunen, Esma; Department of Financial Mathematics (2022-2-10) This empirical study compares the relative performances of the Fama-French five-factor model without foreign exchange risk and the five-factor model incorporating foreign exchange risk on capturing portfolio returns in Borsa İstanbul. The main contribution of our study to the asset pricing literature is the incorporation of FX risk to the Fama-French five-factor model. We propose an additional factor as a proxy for FX risk. Another contribution of this study is implementing a machine learning technique, su...
