2、entage of all shares under foreign ownership in domestic stock markets has been rising. Speculative attacks on the foreign exchange market in February 2001 led to deep economic crisis in Turkey.This article will explore various indicators of the financial crisis in Turkey based on a macro-model. The
3、 foreign share of the domestic economy is a key variable to establish the degree of vulnerability during a financial crisis. An empirical investigation shows that the percentage of shares owned by foreigners on the Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE) has been increasing since 1995 and is currently about 5
4、0 percent of the total. Furthermore,the general index of stock market prices in 1999 was at its highest level since i995.This would imply that the general price index of the stock market is another strong indicator of an impending financial crisis. An empirical investigation of Turkish data based on
5、 a theoretical model is presented in this paper. An unexpected capital outflow would certainly cause exchange rate fluctuations, balance of payments problems, and international debt crisis. Hot money inflows boost share prices and keep the real exchange rate high. However, short-term stay of capital
6、 implies a sudden capital outflow that creates financial crisis, which results in international debt crisis. This in turn leads to a further increase in loans from the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Relatively high stock market prices may suggest an impending financial crisis. Using Turkish stoc

Johnson et al. 2000 created a vulnerability matrix using sets of criteria including macro indicators. Other theor

Other works include fundamentals, the second generations model moral hazard,and self-fulfilling expectations models on liquidity. Krugman 1996, Kaminsky 1998, and Kaminsky and Schumukler 1999

The result is increasing international debt and the possibili

Most analyses are based on flow variables alone and ignore the effects of financial crisis on stock variables such as international indebtedness and wealth. Recent IMF papers by Borensztein 2000 and Lane Milesi-Ferr
11、etti 2000 underline the importance of linking theory with empirical work on real exchange rates and indebtedness. The possibility of unstable long-run equilibria based on our theoretical model is usually ignored in these studies (whereas the possibility is taken as given here). The arguments in this
12、 paper are based on a theoretical model that is different from others.The author argues that probability of future volatility is closely related to the percentage of shares under foreign ownership in the domestic stock market and the volatility of stock market prices.

If the percentage of shares under foreign ownership in the domestic stock market increases, debt in the domestic economy increases, which is analogous to selling the family silver. It would seem the domestic economy is very sensitive to the level of foreign investment in the stock
