In this study, it is aimed to investigate the effects of country-specific and global geopolitical risks on stock markets in European Union countries for the period January-1998-February 2022. In this context, global and country-spesific news-based geopolitical risk indices and country stock indices are analyzed with Balcilar et al. (2016)’s non-parametric quantile causality test. The findings revealed that country-specific and global geopolitical risks have a significant effect on stock returns and volatility for Finland, Germany and France. These findings highlight the importance of a strong financial sector that can help the market return to a stable structure that allows local investors to diversify country-specific risks in their portfolios.

KÜRESEL VE ÜLKEYE ÖZGÜ JEOPOLİTİK RİSKLERİN HİSSE SENEDİ PİYASALARINA DOĞRUSAL OLMAYAN ETKİLERİ

Öz

Bu çalışmada Ocak-1998-Şubat 2022 dönemi için Avrupa Birliği ülkelerinde küresel ve ülkeye özgü jeopolitik risklerin hisse senedi piyasaları üzerindeki etkilerinin araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Bu kapsamda, küresel ve ülkeye özgü haber tabanlı jeopolitik risk endeksleri ve ülkelerin hisse senedi endeksleri Balcilar vd. (2016)’nin parametrik olmayan kantil nedensellik testiyle incelenmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular, Finlandiya, Almanya ve Fransa ülkeleri için ülkeye özgü ve küresel jeopolitik risklerin hisse senedi getiri ve volatilitesi üzerinde anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Bu bulgular, piyasanın, yerel yatırımcıların portföylerinde ülkeye özgü riskleri çeşitlendirmelerine izin veren istikrarlı bir yapıya geri dönmesine yardımcı olabilecek güçlü bir finans sektörünün önemini vurgulamaktadır.
