    Impact of the COVID-19 Market Turmoil on Investor Behavior: A Panel VAR Study of Bank Stocks in Borsa Istanbul
    (Mdpi, 2024) Ersan, Oğuz; Ersan, Oguz
    Assuming that investors can be foreign or local, do high-frequency trading (HFT) or not, and submit orders through a bank-owned or non-bank-owned broker, we associated trades to various investors. Then, building a panel vector autoregressive model, we analyzed the dynamic relation of these investors with returns and among each other before and during the COVID-19 market crash. Results show that investor groups have influence on each other. Their net purchases also interact with returns. Moreover, during the turmoil caused by the pandemic, except foreign investors not involved in HFT, the response of any investor group (retail/institutional, domestic investors doing HFT and those not doing HFT, and foreign investors doing HFT) significantly altered. This shows that the interrelation among investor groups is dynamic and sensitive to market conditions.

    PINstimation: An R Package for Estimating Probability of Informed Trading Models
    (Technische Universitaet Wien, 2023) Ersan, Oğuz; Ersan,O.
    The purpose of this paper is to introduce the R package PINstimation. The package is designed for fast and accurate estimation of the probability of informed trading models through the implementation of well-established estimation methods. The models covered are the original PIN model (Easley and O’Hara 1992; Easley et al. 1996), the multilayer PIN model (Ersan 2016), the adjusted PIN model (Duarte and Young 2009), and the volume-synchronized PIN (Easley, De Prado, and O’Hara 2011; Easley, López De Prado, and O’Hara 2012). These core functionalities of the package are supplemented with utilities for data simulation, aggregation and classification tools. In addition to a detailed overview of the package functions, we provide a brief theoretical review of the main methods implemented in the package. Further, we provide examples of use of the package on trade-level data for 58 Swedish stocks, and report straightforward, comparative and intriguing findings on informed trading. These examples aim to highlight the capabilities of the package in tackling relevant research questions and illustrate the wide usage possibilities of PINstimation for both academics and practitioners. © (2023), (Technische Universitaet Wien).

    Where do tourism tokens travel to and from?
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Ersan, Oğuz; Demir, Ender; Ersan, Oguz
    This study aims to identify the sources of spillovers affecting tourism tokens and classify the type of assets to which they correspond. Using daily data for different asset classes from June 2018 through November 2022, we employ a TVP-VAR methodology to test the connectedness between two tourism tokens, two leading travel equity indices, and the two dominant cryptocurrencies, namely, Bitcoin and Ethereum. The findings show that tourism tokens are relatively independent of fluctuations in the traditional sources affecting the travel and leisure sector, such as the U.S. dollar, the price of oil, or travel equity indices. These results hint that tourism tokens are more closely related to cryptocurrencies rather than pure travel goods. The results may help decision-makers in the travel and hospitality industries considering the use of tourism tokens identify the potential forces impacting them.

    Daily and Intraday Herding within Different Types of Investors in Borsa Istanbul
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2019) Ersan, Oğuz; Ekinci, Cumhur; Ersan, Oğuz
    This paper aims to explore the daily and intraday herd behavior of various investor groups trading in an emerging equity market, Borsa Istanbul (BIST). We analyze a one-year tick-by-tick order and trade data of BIST 100 Index stocks and document differences in herding behavior of investor groups considering market capitalization, market conditions, and announcements as well as daily and intraday periodicities. We find that nonprofessional investors (brokerage houses and domestic funds) tend to herd on large (small) stocks; their herding behavior mostly exhibits a U shape (an inverse U shape) during the day. All types of investors tend to herd in down markets on a daily basis while this behavior disappears, even inverts intraday.

    Detecting and date-stamping bubbles in fan tokens
    (Elsevier, 2024) Ersan, Oğuz; Demir, Ender; Ersan, Oguz
    We focus on the existence of bubbles in fan tokens, utilizing the Supremum Augmented DickeyFuller (SADF) and Generalized Supremum Augmented Dickey -Fuller (GSADF) tests. We use daily closing prices of the top 20 fan tokens according to their market capitalization, along with Bitcoin, Ethereum, and Chiliz. The evidence from the GSADF test results indicates that the prices of 13 out of 20 fan tokens and the three cryptocurrencies have explosive periods associated with bubbles. Our results also show that the percentage of bubble days is between 0 % and 5% for all fan tokens. Among the 13 fan tokens exhibiting bubble behavior in their prices, nine have multiple sub -periods associated with bubbles, while only four tokens have a single sub -period with explosive prices. Bubbles in token prices are short-lived bubbles; most last for a few days. As a robustness analysis, we also perform LPPLS (Log -Periodic Power Law Singularity), providing similar results. Further analysis shows that trading volume, fan token return, Economic Policy Uncertainty (EPU), Daily Infectious Disease Equity Market Volatility (EMVID) are positively associated with the presence of bubbles in fan token prices, while oil return is negatively associated with bubbles.

    The speed of stock price adjustment to corporate announcements: Insights from Turkey
    (Elsevier, 2020) Ersan, Oğuz; Şimşir, Serif Aziz; Şimsek, Koray D.; Afan, Hasan
    The market reaction speeds to the news flow are currently measured at the millisecond level in developed markets. We investigate, using a unique setting from Turkey, whether the market reaction speeds in less sophisticated markets are on par with those of developed markets. We find that market reaction times to corporate announcements are slower than documented in recent studies, although markets react to positive news more quickly than negative news. When high-frequency traders are more active in the market prior to announcements, the speed of price adjustment is slower. Finally, we find sizable profit opportunities for investors following event-driven strategies.

    Identifying Information Types in the Estimation of Informed Trading: An Improved Algorithm
    (Multidisciplinary Digital Publishing Institute (MDPI), 2024) Ersan, Oğuz; Ghachem,M.
    The growing frequency of news arrivals, partly fueled by the proliferation of data sources, has made the assumptions of the classical probability of informed trading (PIN) model outdated. In particular, the model’s assumption of a single type of information event no longer reflects the complexity of modern financial markets, making the accurate detection of information types (layers) crucial for estimating the probability of informed trading. We propose a layer detection algorithm to accurately find the number of distinct information types within a dataset. It identifies the number of information layers by clustering order imbalances and examining their homogeneity using properly constructed confidence intervals for the Skellam distribution. We show that our algorithm manages to find the number of information layers with very high accuracy both when uninformed buyer and seller intensities are equal and when they differ from each other (i.e., between 86% and 95% accuracy rates). We work with more than 500,000 simulations of quarterly datasets with various characteristics and make a large set of robustness checks. © 2024 by the authors.

    Economic Policy Uncertainty And Bank Credit Growth: Evidence From European Banks
    (Elsevier B.V., 2020) Ersan, Oğuz; Öztürk Danışman, Gamze; Demir, Ender
    Using a sample of 2977 private and listed banks in the EU-5 countries (the United Kingdom, Germany, Spain, Italy, France) for the years 2009–2018, this paper explores the impact of Economic Policy Uncertainty (EPU) on credit growth. Using panel data fixed effects methodology and controlling for endogeneity using two-step difference GMM estimators, our findings indicate that uncertainty in economic policies hampers the credit growth of European banks. Our bank type-based analyses indicate that the effect is mainly valid for cooperative banks. Additional analyses imply that the negative impact of EPU on credit growth is more pronounced in civil law countries, increases with debt maturity, and weakens for banks with a larger number of employees and branches. Furthermore, the unfavorable effects are stronger in well-capitalized banks, banks with foreign subsidiaries, and banks with a higher share of wholesale funding. We also provide several policy implications for different economic actors.

    Yüksek frekanslı işlemlerin Borsa İstanbul pay piyasasındaki uç fiyat hareketleri çerçevesinde incelenmesi
    (Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2021) Ersan, Oğuz; Ersan, Oğuz
    Bu çalışmanın temel inceleme konusu yüksek-frekanslı işlemlerin (high-frequency trading, HFT) uç fiyat hareketleri esnasında piyasalara katılımlarıdır. HFT, bir saniyeden çok daha kısa zaman aralıklarında yüksek sayılarda emir gönderimi, büyük oranda emir iptalleri ve gün içi marjinal kâr hedefi ile özdeşleştirilebilmektedir. Çalışmada pozitif ve negatif uç fiyat hareketleri yaşanan hisse ve günlerde HFT aktivitesinin diğer günlere göre daha farklı düzeylerde olup olmadığı sorusuna cevap aranmaktadır. HFT aktivitesinin görece düşük düzeylerde olduğu Aralık 2015 – Mart 2017 periyodu ve BIST30 endeksinde listelenen hisse senetleri çalışılmıştır. Kullanılan HFT değişkenleri piyasadaki toplam HFT oranı dışında alım ve satım tarafındaki HFT oranlarını da temsil etmeye yöneliktir. Pozitif (negatif) uç fiyat hareketli gün-hisse ikililerinde satım (alım) tarafındaki emirlerde HFT payının diğer günlerdekine göre daha düşük olduğu bulunmuştur. Bu bulgu HFT'lerin fiyat yönü ile uyumlu pozisyon aldıklarına ve potansiyel HFT kârlarına işaret etmektedir. The main focus of this study is the market participation of high-frequency traders (HFT) through extreme price movements. HFT is associated with large numbers of order submission activity with fractions of a second, high order cancellation rates and intraday profit-seeking behavior. We inquire whether the level of HFT activity is different for the stocks on the days with large positive and negative price movements. We work with the stocks listed in BIST30 index and with a timespan between December 2015 and March 2017, a period with relatively low HFT share in the market. The utilized HFT variables capture the total HFT share in the orders as well as the HFT shares on the buy and sell sides separately. We find that the HFT share in the buy (sell) orders for the stock-day pairs with positive (negative) extreme price changes is lower than the HFT share on the remaining days. This finding signals the fact that HFTs tend to take positions that are in line with the price direction and the potential HFT profits.
