The Effects of Terrorism on Turkish Stock Market

Year 2014, Volume: 14 Issue: 1, 31 - 41, 01.02.2014

Abstract

This paper uses daily data to analyze how Turkish stock market reacted to terror attacks that took place between 1996 and 2007 in Turkey and September 11, 2001 in the United States. Two different methodologies are used. The first one is abnormal returns methodology, and the second one is time series analysis. Although, some of the events in our sample experienced high negative returns, most events do not have statistically significant abnormal returns (ARs) for the event day (t=0).For longer event windows, from the event date to 5 days following the event (t= + 5) and from the event date to 10 days following the event (t= + 10) the cumulative abnormal returns (CARs) are calculated. CARs are higher than the event day ARs for most of the events. This implies that the stock market continued to decline the following days.On the other hand, the volatility models used for the analysis revealed that Turkish stock market is sensitive to terrorist attacks

Terörizmin Türk Hisse Senedi Piyasası Üzerindeki Etkileri

Year 2014, Volume: 14 Issue: 1, 31 - 41, 01.02.2014

Abstract

Bu çalışmada 1996 ile 2007 tarihleri arasında Türkiye’de ve 11 Eylül 2001 tarihinde Amerika Birleşik Devletleri’nde gerçekleşen terörist saldırıların Türk Hisse Senedi Piyasası üzerindeki etkileri analiz edilmiştir. İki farklı analiz yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Bu yöntemlerden ilki olay etüdü yöntemi diğeri ise zaman serisi analizidir. Örneklem üzerinde bazı terör olayları yüksek negatif getiriye sebep olurken, çoğu terör olayı, terör olayının gerçekleştiği gün için (t=0) istatistiksel olarak anlamlı anormal getiri (ARs) oluşturmamıştır. Daha uzun olay pencereleri için, olay gününden 5 gün sonrasına (t= + 5) ve olay gününden 10 gün sonrasına (t= + 10) kadar kümülatif anormal getiriler (CARs) hesaplanmıştır. Çoğu terör olayı için kümülatif anormal getiriler olay günü için hesaplanmış olan anormal getirilerden daha yüksek çıkmıştır. Bu sonuç hisse senedi piyasasının terör olayını takip eden günlerde düşmeye devam ettiğini göstermiştir. Zaman serisi analizlerinde kullanılan oynaklık (volatilite) modelleri ise Türk Hisse Senedi Piyasasının terör saldırılarına duyarlı olduğunu göstermiştir
