    Investor behavior and risk perception: a gender perspective
    (International Strategic Management and Managers Association, 2023-12) Teker, Dilek; Teker, Suat; Demirel Gümüştepe, Esin
    Financial literacy is explained as the cognitive understanding of financial indicators and risk aversion, risk perception and investor behavior. Perhaps the investor behavior may vary depending on several factors such as gender, age, income level, social status, education etc. This research aims to highlight the effect of gender on financial market perception among Turkish investors. The outputs of two surveys the first for the last quarter of 2022 and the second for the first quarter of 2023, are analysed and compared. Therefore, two consecutive quarters are compared by gender for investment behaviors. This reserach observes some factors such as stress level, portfolio holding times, investment decisions and expectations regarding cryptocurrency markets. The methodology follows the Cronbach Alpha, Kolmogorov-Smirnov and ShapiroWilk Normality, and Mann-Whitney U tests respectively. The findings support gender differences in perception and investment behavior.

    Gender differences in perception of macroeconomic indicators
    (Scitech Research Organisation, 2015-10-31) Teker, Dilek; Kıygı Çallı, Meltem
    This paper examines if there exist gender differences in macroeconomic expectations. Two surveys were implemented in Turkey’s leading CEOs, CFOs, economists, portfolio managers, strategists and academics. One of the survey was conducted in 2013 while the other was in 2014. The survey points out if there are significant differences in expectations among women and men. The survey asks the participant’s macroeconomic expectations. Mainly, inflation, exchange rate, loan interest rate, stock-exchange rate, export and sector-specific expectations are investigated. Response to expectation questions is given on an ordinal scale with three levels. In the survey, a 3-point Likert scale response was used for the questions of export and sector-specific expectations. Firstly, the normality of the observations was tested with the KolmogorovSmirnov test. Then, the differences in macroeconomic expectations of males and females were tested with the Chi-square test of independence. Although the empirical findings of each survey indicate different outputs, the general result mainly exhibits that women are more risk averse than men.
