G. Research Topics

 1. Effect of Exchange Rates Risk on Stock Returns in Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE)

This area of research intends to analyse the relationship between change in trade-weighted real exchange rates on a sample of stock real returns trading in ISE over 10 year period using time-series regression analysis. Research findings have indicated a weak to moderate effect on stock returns.

2. Forecasting Economic Growth/Recession through Yield Curve in U.S, Europe and East Asian Countries

This research topic intends to use the predictive power of yield curves using term-spreads (interest rates differential between short-term (3 month) and long-term (10 years bonds)in forecasting future economic growth or recession by use of probit regression model in U.S, Germany and East Asian countries such as Japan, China and S. Korea. Research findings have indicated that term-spreads have a 4 quarters predictive power ahead of time in U.S, 5 quarters in Germany and Japan, 3 quarters in China and none in S. Korea.
