                            <p>Bu makalenin amacı farklı ekonomik gelişmişlik düzeyinde olan ülkeler için Etkin Piyasa Hipotezini  EPH  test etmektir. Çalışmada 17’si gelişmiş ve 12’si gelişmekte olan ülkenin ekonomik gelişmişlik düzeyini göstermek için FTSE Ülke Sınıflandırması kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın örneklem aralığı 2005ile 2013 yılları arasıdır. Piyasa etkinliğini test etmek için Portmanteau Q testi, runs testi, tekli ve çoklu varyans oranı testleri kullanılmıştır. Sonuçlar, gelişen piyasalar içerisinde ekonomik gelişmişliği daha iyi olan piyasaların zayıf formda etkin olduğunu göstermektedir. Çalışmanın en önemli bulgusu ise piyasaların ekonomik gelişmişlik seviyesi ile piyasa etkinliğinin yakından ilişkisi olduğudur. Piyasalar geliştikçe ve bir üst düzey gelişmişlik kademesine geçtikçe daha etkin hale gelmektedirler. Ayrıca, çalışmanın bulguları, finansal ve politik krizlerden etkilenen piyasalar ile daha az gelişmiş finansal piyasaların etkin piyasa olmaktan uzak olduğunu ortaya koymaktadır</p></trans-abstract>

The FTSE Country  Classification was used to reveal the economic development of 17 developed and 12  emerging markets. The sampling period is between 2005 and 2013. In order to test  market efficiency, Portmanteau Q test, the runs test, the single and multiple variance  ratio  VR  tests were used. The results show that the weak-form market efficiency is  becoming prevalent in the Advanced Emerging markets. The striking finding of the  paper presents that the market efficiency is associated with the market evolution. As  the economies and markets of countries evolve and meet the criteria for promotion to  upper country classification, they become weak-form efficient. Further, the findings  reveal the facts that the markets which suffer from severe financial and political crises,  or belong to low ranked emerging markets are unlikely to be efficient.</p></abstract>
