Volatility Spillover from Global Container Freight Indices to Port Throughputs in Turkey

Abstract

The purpose of this study is to determine the relationship between the container freight rates and the volume of container handled at Turkish ports. To do this, causality in variance analysis is used which enables to determine the volatility spillover from global container freight indices, which are Shanghai Containerized Freight Index (SCFI) and China Containerized Freight Index (CCFI), to container volume handled in Turkish ports. The data set used in the study consists of 93 observations on a monthly basis covering the dates between November 2010 and July 2018. According to the results obtained, a significant volatility spillover has been only detected from the CCFI variable to the container volume. In addition, it has been found that the container volume in Turkish ports has reacted negatively to a positive shock in China container freight index. It is hoped that these results will help the port operators in the policy development stages by providing a leading indicator.
