    TURKEY AEROSPACE & DEFENSE 2016 AEROSPACE TURKEY TURKEY AEROSPACE & DEFENSE 2016 Aerospace - Defense - Original Equipment Manufacturers Platforms - Clusters - Multinationals - Sub-Tier Suppliers Distinguished GBR Readers, Since the inception of the Undersecretariat for Defense Industries 30 years ago, significant steps have been taken to achieve the goals of having the Turkish armed forces equipped with modern systems and technologies and promoting the development of the Turkish defense industry. In the last decade alone, the aerospace and defense (A&D) sector's total turnover quadrupled, while exports have increased fivefold, reaching $5.1 billion and $1.65 billion in 2014, respectively. The industry's investment in research and development (R&D) reached almost $1 billion in 2014. The total workforce in the A&D industry reached 30,000 personnel, of which 30% are engineers. Even more remarkable, Turkey is now at the stage of offering its own platforms for both the local market and to international allies, and has commenced a series of follow up local programs. Although this progress has been achieved under the circumstances of a healthy and consistent political environment and in parallel with sustained growth in the Turkish economy, the proportion of expenditure for defense in the national budget and as a percentage of Turkey’s GDP has been stable. With the help of the national, multinational and joint defense industry projects that have been undertaken in Turkey by the undersecretariat, the defense industry has become a highly capable community comprising large-scale main contractors, numerous sub- system manufacturers, small- and medium-sized enterprises, R&D companies who are involved in high-tech, niche areas, research institutes, and universities.

    Journal of Business & Economic Policy Vol. 3, No. 4; December 2016 The Effects of Trading at Sustainability Index on Stocks’ Abnormal Returns: Evidence from BIST Sustainability Index in Turkey Hakan ALTIN Associate Professor Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences Department of Business Administration Aksaray University 68100-Aksaray/Turkey Ömer YAZAN Assistant Professor Faculty of Economics and Administrative Sciences Department of Business Administration Aksaray University 68100-Aksaray/Turkey Abstract: The main purpose of this study is to evaluate the performance of stocks that quoted on Borsa Istanbul Sustainability Index (BIST SURD) and to explain its other possible effects on these stocks. In the first stage of research, stock returns of BIST SURD and BIST 100 Index -that represents the market- have been calculated to determine abnormal stock return. In the second stage, Wald Wolfowitz Test (W-W), Kolmogorov-Smirnov (K-S) Test and Levene Test have been implemented to confirm statistical significance of results. In the third stage, correlation matrix has been calculated to determine the relationship between BIST SURD and BIST 100 Index. These results show that, there is a price anomaly in Turkey stock market to the contrary of efficient market hypothesis. Trading at BIST SURD Index has no significant influence on companies’ performance. Thus, trading at BIST SURD for companies, creates an intuitional effect for investors Key Words: Sustainability, Abnormal Returns, Financial Performance 1. Introduction The concept of Socially Responsible Investment (SRI) is related to investors’ considerations for the non-financial aspects of corporate performance based on sustainability screening (Consolandi et al. 2009:185). Correspondingly, sustainability indexes are being constituted on boards to promote companies’ environmental, social and governance (ESG) implementations and to attract SRI to the market.As trading at sustainability index, price changes could be shown when securities were added to the index or new index.
