GÜVENLİ LİMAN MI YOKSA SPEKÜLATİF BİR LİMON MU? COVID-19 DÖNEMİNDE TÜRKİYE’DE İKİNCİ EL OTOMOTİV PİYASASI VE BELİRSİZLİK İLİŞKİSİ ÜZERİNE BİR İNCELEME

Abstract

Belirsizliğin yüksek olduğu durumlarda finansal piyasalarda güvenli liman arayışı sıkça görülen bir durumdur. Ancak Türkiye ekonomisinde ikinci el otomobil piyasasında COVID-19 döneminde oldukça özgün ve sıra dışı bir durum yaşanmaktadır. COVID-19 ile birlikte otomobil arzında önemli düzeyde azalma ve sosyal mesafe ihtiyacı nedeniyle toplu taşımadan vazgeçme beraberinde ikinci el otomobil piyasasına olan talebi arttırmıştır. Bu çalışmada ikinci el otomobillerin COVID-19 döneminde ‘güvenli liman’ olarak görülmesi ve güvenli liman mı yoksa spekülatif birer yatırım aracı olması incelenmektedir. Çalışmanın bu yönüyle ikinci el otomobil piyasasının COVID-19 dinamiklerinin anlaşılması açısından önem taşıması ve Türkiye odaklı COVID-19 literatürüne katkı sağlaması öngörülmektedir.
