Global financial crisis has affected the Iranian economy; it has not however had considerable impact on the Tehran stock exchange as compared to those of other emerging and developed markets, but there is indirect effect by decreased the demand of the oil and gas in the world. It caused deficit in the government’s budget; increased the inflation and interest rate. The empirical results indicate that Iran is a viable option for these countries to diversify their investment by investing in the market. Iran might be a beneficial economy to be a final destination for their investment.

Özellikle, İran ve Amerika Birleşik Devletleri, İngiltere, Japonya, Brezilya, Hindistan, Çin, Rusya, Türkiye ve Kuveyt arasındaki aylık borsa fiyat indeksi getirileri hesaplanarak, piyasa ve pazar entegrasyonu üzerinde odaklanılmaktadır. Tezde, üç önemli dönem için hesaplanan korelasyon sonuçlarını kullanılmaktadır. Bu dönemler, 2007 dönemini kapsayan mali kriz, 2000-2006 mali kriz öncesi, ve 2008-2009 mali kriz sonrasıdır. Küresel mali kriz, İran ekonomisini etkiledi, ancak diğer gelişmekte olan ve gelişmiş pazarlar ile karşılaştırıldığında,Tahran borsasına önemli bir etkisi olmadı. Dolaylı olarak, dünya petrol ve doğal gaz talebi azaldı ve bunun sonucunda, İran hükümetinin bütçe açığı, enflasyon ve faiz oranı arttı. Ampirik sonuçları, İran pazarının yatırımlarını çeşitlendirmek için incelenen ülkeler için uygun bir seçenek olduğunu göstermektedir. İran, yatırım için nihai bir hedef olarak faydalı bir ekonomi olabilir. Anahtar Kelimeler: Uluslararası Çeşitlendirme, Tahran Menkul Kıymetler Borsası, Gelişen Piyasalar.en_US
