The objective of this study is to investigate the performance persistence of Turkish mutual and pension funds. 310 mutual and 259 pension funds were analyzed between the period of 2010–2019 in order to determine if there is an evidence of performance persistence. In this study, a persistence rate is developed, and the skill ratio is used to crosscheck the results of the persistence rate. Furthermore, six different risk-adjusted return measures, such as Sharpe, Treynor, Information, Jensen’s alpha, Sortino, and Omega ratios are calculated to analyze whether funds also exhibit superior risk-adjusted returns. The results indicate that only 2% of funds demonstrate persistence above 50%, and 15 out of 20 fund categories do not have any funds that show persistence in 10 years. Most of the persistent funds have positive skill ratios, and it is observed that the persistence rate is effective. However, it cannot be stated that there is performance persistence in the Turkish fund management industry, since performance persistence is not evident for various fund types, so investors do not need to invest in the best funds of the previous year. Additionally, the empirical results associated with risk-adjusted performance analysis indicate that persistent funds also do not generally yield higher risk-adjusted returns. The lack of persistence in funds’ performance is a significant result for investors in their investment decisions, for fund managers in their human resource policies and bonus schemes, and for regulators in their policy decisions.

Environmental Economics Volume 8, 2017 Issue #1 pp. 8-17 Views: 2046 Downloads: 1002 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯThis study aims to observe the long run and short run effects of gross domestic product, foreign direct investment inflows and trade on CO2 emissions and causality relationships between these factors, using annual data for the period of 1974-2010. The empirical results demonstrate that the inverted U-shaped relationship of environmental Kuznets curve is valid for Turkey. In addition, there are positive long run effects of foreign direct investment and trade openness on CO2 emissions. The authors also find a bidirectional causality relationship between CO2 emission and FDI.

Consumer mindfulness and impulse buying behavior: testing moderator effects of hedonic shopping value and mood

Given the limited quantity of studies within the literature, this study investigates the moderator role of hedonic shopping value and mood in the relationship between consumer mindfulness and impulse buying behavior. The study is quantitative and descriptive and using a convenient sampling method, 223 online questionnaires were obtained in Samsun, Trabzon, and İstanbul. The responses collected from a close-ended questionnaire using a 5-point Likert scale was tested at Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) through AMOS.
The findings of the study indicated that consumers with mindfulness exhibit negative impulse buying behavior. Although the study results reveal that hedonic shopping value has a moderator role in the relationship between consumers with low mindfulness and their impulse buying behavior, the moderator role of hedonic shopping value in the relationship between consumers with high mindfulness and impulse buying behavior is not proved. Besides, it is found that consumers’ positive and negative moods have not a moderator role in the relationship between mindfulness and impulse buying behavior. From this viewpoint, the study’s result will provide practitioners and academicians to understand the impulse buying behavior patterns of consumers with mindfulness. -

Investment Management and Financial Innovations Volume 20, 2023 Issue #4 pp. 50-59 Views: 1061 Downloads: 211 TO CITE АНОТАЦІЯThe development of investment processes is significant for a country’s economy, economic development, and the expansion of market opportunities. The successful functioning of the national economy in the global economic space requires its integration into the international finance system. The impact of foreign direct investment on the economy of host countries remains relevant. The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of foreign direct investments on the Gross Domestic Product of Turkey for the years 1990–2021. The data set includes foreign direct investments, exchange rate levels, and the Gross Domestic Product of Turkey and was used in logarithmic form in the empirical assessments. The results show a positive and statistically significant relationship between foreign direct investments and Gross Domestic Product. A long-term integrative relationship exists between the independent variables (foreign direct investments and exchange rate) and the dependent variable (Gross Domestic Product). Consequently, this implies that a 1% increase in foreign direct investment results in a 0.35% increase in Gross Domestic Product, holding other factors constant.
