“…While a part of those studies examining the causality relationship between stock indices and CDS premiums has found a one-way causality relationship (for example, Bektur & Malcioğlu, 2017;Topaloğlu & Ege, 2020;Tüzün et al, 2021;Vurur, 2021), some others have detected a bidirectional causality relationship between stock indices and CDS premiums (for example, Fung et al, 2008;Gün, 2018;İltaş & Güzel, 2021;Vurur & Özen, 2020). There are also studies finding out that CDS premiums affect stock indices negatively (for example, Akçayır, 2022;Bali & Yilmaz, 2012;Bayrakdaroğlu & Mirgen, 2021;Evci, 2020;Hancı, 2014;Shahzad et al, 2018;Sovbetov & Saka, 2018).…”
