The Causal Relationship between Stock Market Unemployment in Turkey
Öz
Equity markets provide opportunities investors to invest in firms, while enabling long-term projects to be financed, promoting savings and investments. Public offerings and venture capital models encourage companies to make new investments and expand their business. The purpose of this article is to examine the relationship between the stock market and unemployment by using monthly data in the context of Turkey. The data of the study covers the period between July 2007 and September 2018. The method of research is based on Granger causality test. The empirical results reveal that there are not any significant causality relations between the Borsa Istanbul and unemployment rate. According to results, BIST-100 index could not be successful in predicting future unemployment rates. On the other hand, developments in the stock market should not be trusted to reduce unemployment rates.
