Abstract: | Since the 1990s, the emerging stock markets attracted large flows of international
capital providing investment opportunities for global investors. The thesis investigates
the role of country risk composed of political risk (PR), economic risk (ER), financial
risk (FR), and Oil in risk assessment for investment opportunities in selected Middle
East and North African (MENA) financial markets.
The analysis uses monthly data for Jordan, Turkey, Egypt, Morocco, Saudi Arabia,
and Tunisia for January 2005 – December 2018 that includes both the tranquil and
crisis periods such as the Arab Spring and the 2008-2009 global financial crises. For
this purpose, the analysis is conducted within a two-state regime-switching framework
using the Markov-switching international capital asset pricing model (MS-ICAPM).
The empirical estimates suggest that investment opportunities vary both with the state
of the economy and country-specific risk factors which may be helpful to international
investors in their decisions regarding portfolio diversification and to government
authorities in their economic policies. ÖZ:
1990'lı yıllardan bu yana, gelişmekte olan borsalar, küresel yatırımcılara yatırım
fırsatlarısağlayan büyük miktarda uluslararası sermaye akışını çekmiştir. Tez,seçilmiş
Orta Doğu ve Kuzey Afrika (MENA) finansal piyasalarındaki yatırım fırsatları için
risk değerlendirmesinde politik risk (PR), ekonomik risk (ER), finansal risk (FR) ve
petrolden oluşan ülke riskinin rolünü inceler.
Analizde Ürdün, Türkiye, Mısır, Fas, Suudi Arabistan ve Tunus'un Ocak 2005 – Aralık
2018 arasındaki, Arap Baharı ve 2008-2009 küresel mali krizleri gibi hem sakin hem
de kriz dönemlerini kapsayan aylık verileri kullanılmıştır. Bu amaçla analiz, Markov
geçişli uluslararası sermaye varlık fiyatlandırma modeli (MS-ICAPM) kullanılarak iki
durumlu rejim değiştirme çerçevesinde gerçekleştirilmiştir. Ampirik tahminler,
yatırım fırsatlarının hem ekonominin durumuna hem de ülkeye özgü risk faktörlerine
göre değiştiğini, bunun da uluslararası yatırımcılara portföy çeşitlendirmesine ilişkin
kararlarında ve hükümet yetkililerine ekonomi politikalarında yardımcı olabileceğini
göstermektedir. |
