Within this scope, we used 14 explanatory variables in order to understand the determinants of thiscrisis. Moreover, annual data for the periods between 1984 and 2014 was analyzed by using MARS and logitmodels so as to achieve this objective. As a result of the analysis, it was identified that non-performing loansand bank derivatives are the main indicators of this crisis according to MARS method. On the other hand,the amount of total assets and non-performing loans are significant reasons of the crisis with respect to theanalysis of logit method. Another result of this study is that MARS method is more successful than logitmethod in order to predict the crisis.
