Abstract
In perfectly frictionless and rational markets, spot markets and futures markets should simultaneously reflect new information. However, due to market imperfections, one of these markets may reflect information faster than the other and therefore may lead to the other. This study examines the lead-lag relationship between stock index and stock index futures, in terms of both price and volatility, by using 5 minute data over 2007-2010 period. The findings of this study indicate that a stable long-term relationship between Turkish stock index and stock index futures exists, however stock index futures do not lead stock index and there is a two way interaction between them. Therefore neither of the markets is dominant over the other one in the price formation process.

Travel agencies are the main actors of the tourism industry. Many touristic customers are involved in tourism activities benefiting from the services provided by the travel agencies. Travel agencies play an important role in advising them to make decisions and agencies also are being an information source for customers. In addition, travel agencies contribute the improvement of alternatives for touristic customers by improving continually their product and services. There are three different travel agency groups in Turkey. These groups are A group, B group and C group travel agencies. A-Group travel agencies are in the first place in terms of diversity of functions and economic size. A very large part of the travel agencies in Turkey is A group agencies. An excessive number of travel agencies make complicated the selection of agency for the touristic customers. This study aimed at evaluating the A group travel agencies operating in Turkey and presenting a choice of suggestion for potential touristic customers. For this purpose PROMETHEE method is used in analysis process. According to the results of the findings an order of preference for touristic customers is determined.

Seyahat acentaları turizm sektörünün temel unsurlarındandır. Birçok turistik tüketici seyahat acentalarının sunmuş oldukları hizmetlerden yararlanarak turizm faaliyetlerine katılmaktadır. Seyahat acentaları turistik tüketiciler için bilgi kaynağı olmakla birlikte onlara tavsiyelerde bulunarak karar almalarında önemli bir rol üstlenmektedirler. Ayrıca seyahat acentaları, sundukları ürün ve hizmetleri sürekli olarak geliştirerek turistik tüketicilere yönelik alternatiflerin arttırılmasına katkı sağlamaktadırlar. Türkiye’de üç farklı seyahat acentası grubu bulunmaktadır. Bunlar A grubu, B grubu ve C grubu seyahat acentalarıdır. Fonksiyonlarının çeşitliliği ve ekonomik büyüklükleri açısından A grubu seyahat acentaları ilk sırada yer almaktadır. Türkiye’deki seyahat acentalarının çok büyük bir kısmını A grubu acentalar oluşturmaktadır. Seyahat acentası sayısının çok fazla olması turistik tüketicilerin acenta seçimini zorlaştırmaktadır. Bu çalışmada Türkiye’de faaliyet gösteren A grubu seyahat acentalarının belirli kriterlere göre değerlendirilerek potansiyel turistik tüketiciler açısından bir tercih önerisinin sunulması amaçlanmıştır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda tercih sıralamasının oluşturulmasında PROMETHEE yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Analiz sonucunda elde edilen bulgulara göre turistik tüketiciler için bir tercih sıralaması belirlenmiştir.

Abstract
The purpose of this study is to test the weak form efficiency within framework of the random walk model by using price movements of BIST-100 Index and to evaluate forecasting performance of investors in Turkish stock market. Whether investors can earn excess returns or not has been decided with determination of whether the stock price movements and expectations of investors follow a random walk or not at the period of 1990:01-2014:06 in Turkey. Firstly for this purpose, the randomness of price movements of BIST-100 Index has been tested by using Ljung-Box and LM analysis. The second assumption of random walk model, randomness of expectations of investor and each of information entering market has been analysed with BDS test. Empirical evidences show that investors in Turkish capital market can forecast by using historical stock price movements, investors can have all information which is likely to affect the stock price in advance, and investors can earn excess returns by taking decisions based on this information.

Bu çalışmada BIST-100 endeksine ilişkin fiyat hareketlerinin rassal yürüyüş modeli çerçevesinde zayıf formda etkinliğinin sınanması ve bu yolla Türkiye’deki hisse senedi piyasasındaki yatırımcıların öngörü performanslarının değerlendirilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Türkiye’deki 1990:01-2014:06 dönemine ait hisse senedi fiyat hareketlerinin ve yatırımcı beklentilerinin rassal yürüyüş izleyip izlemediğinin belirlenerek, hisse senedi piyasasındaki yatırımcıların normalin üzerinde kar elde edebilmelerinin mümkün olup olmadığı ortaya konulmuştur. Bu amaçla öncelikle BIST-100 endeksine ilişkin fiyat hareketleri değişkeninin rassallığı Ljung-Box ve LM analizleri yardımıyla test edilmiştir. Rassal yürüyüşün ikinci varsayımı olan yatırımcı beklentilerinin ve piyasaya giren her bir bilginin rassallığı ise BDS testi ile analiz edilmiştir. Türk sermaye piyasasındaki yatırımcıların geçmiş dönemdeki fiyat hareketlerini kullanarak geleceğe yönelik öngörü yapmalarının mümkün olduğu, yatırımcıların piyasaya girmesi muhtemel olan bilgiye önceden sahip olabildiği ve bu bilgiye göre yatırım kararı alarak ortalamanın üzerinde bir getiri elde edebildiği yönünde bulgulara ulaşılmıştır.
