Abstract

The aim of this article is to investigate the
influence of market interest rate on Participation 30 index companies. The
interest rate of Turkish goverment bonds traded in the secondary market were
used for representing market interest rate. The study uses a data panel of 41
Participation index companies from 2011 to 2017. Using LM
bootstrap panel cointegration test, we
obtain results showing that the market interest rate affects the stock prices
of P30 index companies. This effect is negative for ALBARAKA, KONYA, BAGFS, KOZAL and PRKME, but positive
for all other companies. The least affected company from market interest rate
is TTKOM, while the most affected company is LOGO. Moreover, it is noteworthy
that 5 of the 10 companies with the lowest long-run coefficient are operating
in the construction-raw material industry.
