Abstract

The purpose of this study is to estimate the long run IPO (Initial Public Offerings) returns using artificial neural network (ANN). In wide-ranging literature OLS (Ordinary Least Squares) is commonly preferred to estimate long run IPO returns. This study applies artificial neural network addition to OLS. As a result of comparing the performance of ANN and OLS, ANN has better estimation than OLS for long run IPO returns in Turkey.Initial public offerings, long-run performance, ANN, OLS, ISE
