This paper provides an extensive case study of the Turkish automotive and the consumer electronics industries. Despite a macroeconomic environment that inhibits investment and growth, both industries have achieved remarkable output and productivity growth since the early 1990s. Although there...

Notwithstanding its impressive contributions to empirical financial economics, there remains a significant gap in the volatility literature, namely its relative neglect of the connection between macroeconomic fundamentals and asset return volatility. We progress by analyzing a broad...

We provide a simple and intuitive measure of interdependence of asset returns and/or volatilities. In particular, we formulate and examine precise and separate measures of return spillovers and volatility spillovers. Our framework facilitates study of both non-crisis and crisis episodes,...

The literature has so far focused on the risk-return tradeoff in equity markets and ignored alternative risky assets. This paper examines the presence and significance of an intertemporal relation between expected return and risk in the foreign exchange market. The paper provides new evidence on...

In 1990s emerging stock markets evolved from small and shallow into sizeable and liquid markets integrated with the world financial system. This paper empirically studies the conjecture that the relationship between market development and efficiency can be possibly captured by the weak-form...

This paper extends the partial (PE) and general equilibrium (GE) analyses of Nash and stackelberg optimum export taxes to multicountry framework, using a computable general equilibrium (CGE) model of the global cocoa market.

This study seeks to uncover the factors determining the dynamic behavior of key macroeconomic variables in two emerging market economies, Turkey and Mexico, from the late 1980's to the present. For this purpose, we analyze the behavior of real interest rates, real stock returns, inflation,...

Using a model of imperfect compitition and allowing for imperfect substitutability between domestically produced and imported machinery, we analyze the relationship between machinery investment and export competitiveness.
