Good governance in conditions of globalization and Europeanization : public financial management in Turkey from a policy transfer approach
Özdemir Tsarouhas, Umut Evin; Eralp, Yakup Atila; Department of International Relations (2013)
The purpose of this thesis is to explain the process of policy change in public financial management in Turkey. It looks into the interaction between endogenous and exogenous factors affecting the evolution of policy principles and programmes and uses a policy transfer approach. The author compares two periods: the adjustment-oriented (1980-1999) and accession-oriented (1999 onwards) reform eras. Considering the IFIs and the EU as proxies for globalization and Europeanization, the thesis also examines the i...
Risk analysis of the government domestic debt stock in Turkey: cost-at-risk approach
Gürcihan, H. Burcu; Gaygısız Lajunen, Esma; Department of Economics (2004)
In this study, stochastic simulation based risk analysis is applied to the government domestic debt stock in Turkey with the motivation to identify the cost and risk characteristics of alternative debt financing strategies. Future path of interest rates is simulated by using the yield curve forecasting framework in Diebold and Li (2002), which is founded on the Nelson-Siegel yield curve model. Yield curve simulation is based on the estimated term structure of interest rates for the period June 2001-July 200...
Public debt and growth: an empirical investigation
Canbek, Duygu; Özmen, Erdal; Department of Economics (2014)
We investigate the relationship between public debt and growth for a panel sample of 128 countries including 26 advanced, 40 emerging and 62 developing economies for a period of 1960-2011. To this end, we consider not only the conventional fixed effects procedure but also the recently developed cross sectionally augmented distributed lag (CS-DL) mean group (MG) procedure. We also investigate whether the relationship is robust to different country groupings such as advanced, emerging and developing economies...
Comparative study of risk measures
Ekşi, Zehra; Körezlioğlu, Hayri; Department of Financial Mathematics (2005)
There is a little doubt that, for a decade, risk measurement has become one of the most important topics in finance. Indeed, it is natural to observe such a development, since in the last ten years, huge amounts of financial transactions ended with severe losses due to severe convulsions in financial markets. Value at risk, as the most widely used risk measure, fails to quantify the risk of a position accurately in many situations. For this reason a number of consistent risk measures have been introduced in...
Public debt management in Turkey with stochastic optimization approach
Çelebi, Nuray; Gaygısız Lajunen, Esma; Department of Financial Mathematics (2005)
The Prime Ministry of Undersecretariat of Treasury maintaining the financial administration of Republic of Turkey has several tasks to handle one of which is to manage the government̕s debt in a way that minimizes the cost regarding risk. Choosing the right instrument and maturity composition that has the least cost and risk is the debt management problem to be dealt with and is affected by many stochastic factors. The objective of this thesis is the optimization of the debt management problem of the Turkis...
