The Research of Asset Price Bubble at Borsa Istanbul and Financial Crisis Relationship

Öz In this study, the asset price bubble in Borsa Istanbul was examined through the right-tailed unit root test. The index where the bubble research was conducted is Borsa Istanbul 100 return index. The study period was determined as 1997-2018 period considering the increase in the index transaction volume. Macroeconomic variables identified as indicators of financial crises were; gross domestic product, foreign trade deficit, total foreign debt, real exchange rate, budget deficit, credit / gross domestic product, interest rate, domestic credit volume, money supply and inflation. The relationship between these variables and bubbles was examined with asymmetric causality test.
