an environmental factor that may have an effect on investor behaviors, has an
effect on stock returns for the period of 01.02.2007-20.07.2016 in BIST. As a
result of the analysis, it is determined that air pollution has significant and
negative current-time effect on BIST Services and lagged-time effect on BIST
