EDITORIAL

We are proud to share with you a thematic issue on asymmetries in finance and economics in Symmetry: Culture and Science; this is the first one to include main themes such as business, economics, marketing and finance in the history of this journal.

Asymmetric information is an important issue for economic and financial relations. In 2001, G. Akerlof, M. Spence, and J. E. Stiglitz were awarded the Nobel Memorial Prize in Economics “for their analysis of markets with asymmetric information”. Apart from the Asymmetric Information prob-lem, due to the nature of macroeconomics, economic and financial relations can have asymmetrical features. Thus, the preference for asym-metric methods in explaining the relations between economic and financial variables provides more accurate results. This thematic issue aims to cover the handling of asymmetrical relationships in the search for real rela-tionships between variables. We invited authors to submit their theoretical or empirical research presenting asymmetric and symmetric estimating methods and solution models for economic and financial models.

This special issue aims to meticulously publish research that provides asymmetric forecasting and solution models for economics and financial relations. The influential studies published in the journal shall help decide the course of economic asymmetries by informing academicians, scholars, policy-makers, and other stakeholders. In the following, we present several themes for potentially interesting future research opportunities in the field.

8 papers were found suitable for publication as a result of careful examin-ation within the scope of the thematic issue can be summarized as follows:

Durmuş Çağrı Yıldırım, Seda H. Bostancı, Seda Yıldırım, Seyfettin Erdoğan
