RAMAZAN AYI VE DİNİ BAYRAMLARIN BİST 100 ENDEKSİNE ETKİLERİ: PİYASA ANOMALİLERİNİN İNCELENMESİ

Abstract

Bu çalışmada 03/01/1994-27/07/2017 tarihleri arasında günlük verilerle BİST 100 endeksinin Ramazan ayında, Ramazan ve Kurban bayramında piyasa anomalisi gösterip göstermediği incelenmiştir. Sonuçlar, Ramazan ayı, Ramazan bayramı ve Kurban bayramında varlık getirilerinde istatistiksel olarak bir değişiklik olmadığını göstermektedir. Diğer taraftan EGARCH yöntemiyle sınanan anomalilerde Ramazan ayı ve Ramazan bayramında volatilitenin arttığı, Kurban bayramında ise volatilite üzerinde anlamlı bir etki olmadığı tespit edilmiştir.
