We investigate the strength and direction of information ow between exchange rates and stock prices in several emerging countries by the novel concept of effective transfer entropy (an alternative non-linear causality measure) with symbolic encoding methodology. Analysis shows that before the...

This study analyzes the dynamic relationship between exchange rate (against US dollar), interest rate and the stock market (both in local currency) of Turkey from January 2003 to September 2013.

This study aims to shed light on the risk structure in the presence of Islamic banking, in particular in Turkey. Islamic banking and conventional banking are considered to be different kind of sources for funding. Returns in the conventional banking expected to be heavily influenced by the...

Using generalized Hurst exponent, we investigate the presence of long-range dependence in the stock markets and exchange rates (vis-a-vis US dollar) of all in ation targeting countries having oating currencies.

During recent years, networks have proven to be an ecient way to characterize and investigate a wide range of complex financial systems. In this study, we first obtain the dynamic conditional correlations between filtered exchange rates (against US dollar) of several countries and introduce a...

Using dynamic conditional correlations and networks, we bring a novel framework to define the integration and segmentation of emerging countries. The individual EMBI+ spreads of 13 emerging countries from 01/2003 to 12/2013 are used to compare their interaction structure before (phase 1) and...

We focus on the developments in the EMU sovereign debt markets in the last decade. First, we show the integration structure of the EMU bond markets before and after the sovereign debt crisis. Accordingly, a fair integration is observed between EMU bond markets during the pre-crisis period....

Taking the cost of trading as a liquidity proxy, we provide evidence of commonality in liquid-ity and look for sources of it in an emerging market, Turkey. We show that the commonality in non-index stocks is higher than the commonality in index stocks. As the position size to trade increases,...

We analyze the dynamic comovement of commodity futures returns within each category (energy, precious metals, industrial metals, and agriculture) from 1997 to 2013 under the eects of the nancialization of commodity markets. Our findings from the dynamic equicorrelation GARCH model of ? show...

We aim to and out whether the exchange rate (against US dollar) or the interest rate (in local currency) is a better variable in predicting the capacity utilization rate of manufacturing industry (CUR) of Turkey after the 2008 global financial crisis. In that manner, we implement dynamic mixed...
