    Asymmetric Effects of Real Exchange Rate on Turkey's Imports: Threshold Value Regression Model
    (2024) Yaşar, Reha Z.
    Determinants of imports are one of the most discussed topics in the foreign trade literature. This study explores the asymmetric relationship between the real exchange rate and imports for Turkey example. The paper employs monthly data spanning from 2013:01 to 2023:06, estimating classical least square estimation and Threshold Regression Models, subsequently comparing their outcomes. The findings highlighted that the relations between imports and real exchange rate are asymmetric. According to the least square estimation model, it was noted that the real exchange rate had a negative impact on imports, aligning with anticipated outcomes. In the threshold regression model, it was seen that movements in the real exchange rate positively affected imports in the model below the threshold, while exerting a negative effect in the model above the threshold. This finding was interpreted as increasing imports by buying the expectation that the exchange rate increases, which are below the internalizable level, may increase further. It is considered essential for policymakers to take into account asymmetric relationships when analyzing the relationships between imports and the exchange rate.

    WHY DID HOUSING PRICES RISE TO A RECORD LEVEL IN TURKEY? AN EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS
    (Sciendo, 2023) Yaşar, Reha Z.; Bulut, Erdem
    Turkey is one of those countries where housing market has been most severely affected by COVID-19 pandemic. Today the effects of the outbreak have been eliminated significantly. This study retrospectively looks at the days when the world faced a widespread outbreak of a pandemic and investigates the effect of the pandemic and the changes in consumer confidence on housing prices and the volatility of housing prices. Considering the structural breaks in the analysis period (2010:q1-2022:q4 quarterly), we used the Lee and Strazicich structural break unit root test as a research method. The results show that an increase in costs due to a break in the supply chain and containment measures forcing the workforce to stay at home affected the housing supply adversely. It is observable that expansionary economic policies and social assistance programs have a positive effect on housing demand. In this regard, negative supply shock and positive demand pressure are seen to be the determinants of the recent housing price increases in Turkey. However, while there is a positive relationship between consumer confidence and house prices, the effect of house prices on the volatility is statistically insignificant. © 2023 Sciendo.
