The estimation of the PIN model and its extensions has posed significant challenges due to various computational problems. To address these issues, we propose a novel estimation method called the Expectation-Conditional Maximization (ECM) algorithm, which can serve as an alternative to existing...

It is well documented that computational problems may lead to large biases in the estimation of probability of informed trading (PIN) models. While effective remedial solutions have been suggested for the case of original PIN model (Easley et al., 1996), computational problems for its most...

Ghost liquidity (GL) in fragmented markets, is defined as the observable but not accessible liquidity that is mostly associated with the rapid cancellations of multiple orders in different venues when an order is executed in a venue. We track the prevalence and the impacts of GL in the case of a...

Behavioral finance literature shows that a variety of mood variables affect the stock prices. Aviation accidents are uncommon that generally cause a high number of casualties. Therefore, they have a strong social repercussion in the country. This negative sentiment driven by bad mood might...

This paper examines the impact of international soccer matches on the Turkish stock market using firm-level and sorted-portfolio data. Applying Edmans et al. (2007) estimation method, we found a significant negative loss effect. However, once using panel data analysis as well as modeling spatial...

This paper examines the impact of international soccer matches on the Turkish stock market using firm level and sorted portfolio data, i.e. microeconomic evidence. Applying the Edmans et al. (2007) estimation method, we find a significant negative loss effect. However, once using panel data...

Bansal and Yaron (2004) demonstrate, by calibration, that the Consumption-Based Capital Asset Pricing Model (CCAPM) can be rescued by assuming that consumption growth rate follows a stochastic volatility model. They show that the conditional equity premium is a linear function of conditional...

This paper attempts to explore the determinants for small and medium enterprise (SME) performance. In particular, we investigate how training, technology adoption, finance channels and exporting behavior affect SMEs' performance by examining the determinants of the profit per worker. Using a...

The sports betting industry is one of the fastest growing industries in the world and therefore the literature on sports betting has gained momentum in the last two decades. The literature mainly focuses on testing the efficiency of the sports betting market. The prediction of game outcomes or...

This paper investigates the stock price reactions of Turkish soccer clubs to game results, according to match venue and competition type. Betting odds are included to control expectations. The findings indicate that match results of the listed soccer clubs affect abnormal returns, and there is...
