dc.description.abstract This thesis investigates the market reaction effect of the announcements of the initial surge of COVID-19 and the subsequent variants of concern, namely Delta and Omicron, on the stock market of Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa, and Turkey (BRICS-T). To this aim, we employ the event study methodology to measure the abnormal return of the relevant stock market index during the event windows of each variant’s first case announcement in each country. The results of this investigation suggest a late market reaction to first case announcement, and in most cases, new variants do not have statistically significant negative market reactions with the exception of South Africa for the case of delta variant, Russia and Turkey for the case of omicron variant. en_US
dc.description.abstract ÖZ: Bu çalışmada Brezilya, Rusya, Hindistan, Çin, Güney Afrika ve Türkiye (BRICS-T) borsalarının koronavirüs (COVID-19) salgınının ilk ortaya çıkışına ve ardından ortaya çıkan Delta ve Omicron gibi yeni varyantlara karşı piyasa tepkileri araştırılmaktadır. Bu amaçla, her bir ülkede ortaya çıkan yeni varyantların ilk vaka duyurusunun olay pencereleri sırasında ilgili ülkenin borsa endeksinin anormal getirisini ölçmek için olay çalışması yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Olay çalışması sonuçlarına göre ilk vaka duyurusuna piyasa tepkisi geç olmaktadır. Ayrıca, Delta varyantında ortaya çıkan Güney Afrika piyasa tepksi ile Omicron varyantında Rusya ve Türkiye piyasalarının tepkileri haricinde yeni varyantların istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ve negatif bir piyasa tepkisi ile karşılaşılmamıştır. en_US
