Abstract

Belirsizliğin yüksek olduğu durumlarda finansal piyasalarda güvenli liman arayışı sıkça görülen bir durumdur. Ancak Türkiye ekonomisinde ikinci el otomobil piyasasında COVID-19 döneminde oldukça özgün ve sıra dışı bir durum yaşanmaktadır. COVID-19 ile birlikte otomobil arzında önemli düzeyde azalma ve sosyal mesafe ihtiyacı nedeniyle toplu taşımadan vazgeçme beraberinde ikinci el otomobil piyasasına olan talebi arttırmıştır. Bu çalışmada ikinci el otomobillerin COVID-19 döneminde ‘güvenli liman’ olarak görülmesi ve güvenli liman mı yoksa spekülatif birer yatırım aracı olması incelenmektedir. Çalışmanın bu yönüyle ikinci el otomobil piyasasının COVID-19 dinamiklerinin anlaşılması açısından önem taşıması ve Türkiye odaklı COVID-19 literatürüne katkı sağlaması öngörülmektedir.
