Abstract

This study examines the nexus between oil prices, economic policy uncertainty and stock markets in a panel of selected major oil importing countries between June 2014 and October 2020. We analyzed China, India, Germany, Italy and Japan in the study because these countries are among the largest oil importer countries in the economic policy uncertainty index developed by Economics Policy Uncertainty Platform. We split the period into three sub-periods as June 2014- February 2016, March 2016-December 2019 and January - October 2020 and employed several econometric models to analyze the relation between the variables in different economic conditions and to identify how COVID-19 pandemic has influenced the effect of oil prices and economic policy uncertainty on the stock markets. Empirical results show that the pandemic changed the dynamics of the relations between the variables and especially the effect of oil prices on the stock markets has grown stronger for the oil importing countries.

Özet

BBu çalışmada petrol fiyatları, ekonomik politika belirsizliği ve hisse senedi pazarları arasındaki ilişki büyük petrol ithalatçısı ülkeler için Haziran 2014 ile Ekim 2020 tarihleri arasında incelenmiştir. Çin, Hindistan, Almanya, İtalya ve Japonya’nın çalışma kapsamında analize dahil edilmelerinin nedeni, Economic Policy Uncertainty platformu tarafından geliştirilen ekonomik politika belirsizliği endeksindeki en büyük petrol ithalatçıları ülkeler olmalarıdır. Çalışma dönemi Haziran 2014- Şubat 2016, Mart 2016-Aralık 2019 ve Ocak - Ekim 2020 olarak 3 alt periyoda ayrılmıştır ve ekonometrik analizler kullanılarak değişkenlerin arasındaki ilişki farklı ekonomik koşullar altında değerlendirilmiştir. Özellikle KOVİD-19 salgını döneminde ilişkilerin nasıl değiştiğini analiz etmek amacıyla salgın dönemi ayrı tutulmuştur ve petrol fiyatları ile ekonomik politika belirsizliğinin hisse senedi piyasalarına etkisinde bir değişim gözlemlenip gözlemlenmediği ortaya konmaya çalışılmıştır. Ampirik sonuçlar, salgının değişkenler arasındaki ilişkilerin dinamiklerini değiştirdiğini ve özellikle petrol fiyatlarının borsalar üzerindeki etkisinin petrol ithalatçısı ülkeler için daha da güçlendiğini göstermektedir.
