ANALYSIS OF BUBBLES ASSETS FOR WEIGHTED AVERAGE INTEREST RATES APPLIED TO BANK LOANS

Abstract

This study examines the existence of the "bubble effect" in the average interest rates of loans applied by banks to various types of loans for consumers. The purpose of this article is the research of the bubble formations in the average interest rates applied by the banks to consumer, housing (home), vehicle, and commercial loan types. This article examines the existence of bubbles in the average loan interest rates of banks in Turkey using the GSADF unit root test developed by Phillips et al. (2015). Bubble assets are analyzed with weekly data for the period June 2019–March 2023. Monte Carlo simulations performed obtained critical values for the GSADF unit root test. The results show that the bubble effect on housing loan interest rates is statistically significant at the 0.05 level. Against this, although the existence of a bubble effect in consumer, vehicle, and commercial loan interest rates has been determined, these bubbles are statistically insignificant.
