The long run relationship between stock prices and inflation is investigated by assuming the possible existence of a proxy effect. Conclusions are made as to the efficiency of the Turkish Stock Exchange and its possible implications for investors. To our knowledge, this is among the pioneering studies conducted in an emerging market that uses an updated econometric methodology to allow for an analysis of long run steady state properties together with short run dynamics.EnglishEconomicsEmerging marketsFinanceStock priceTime seriesCostsEfficiencyMarketingNumerical analysisTime series analysisCointegration analysisMonetary variablesTime series econometricsTurkish stock exchangeOperations researchArticle10.1016/0377-2217(95)00071-21872-6860
