This thesis examines the 1994 and 2001 currency crises in Turkey from the perspective of the leading indicators of currency crises. By applying a methodology proposed by Kaminsky, Lizondo and Reinhart in 1998, the study examines the behaviour of the leading indicators in Turkey in the 1990s and determines whether fundamentals were deteriorated on the eve of the crises. The thesis also attempts to identify the variables that are most useful in predicting possible currency crises in Turkey.

Crisis in Slovenia: Roots, effects, prospects Kržan, Marko (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2014-12) The author examines the last 20 years of Slovenian economic history. He argues that export-led economic model based on depreciated domestic currency and capital controls enabled stabilization and convergence with developed EU economies until 2004. The period of debt-led growth characterized by instability and recurrent recession after 2008 is explained by dissolution of the earlier economic model after Slovenia’s accession to EU. A brief comparison is then made that reveals a striking resemblance with ...
Financial crisis in Southern Europe in comparison with Eastern Europe Aygül, Cenk (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2014-12) This paper examines the recent financial crisis in Southern Europe in comparison with Eastern Europe. The findings of the paper are as follows: (i) Firstly, the economic space of the EU can no longer be taken as homogeneous, and the core-periphery structures must be examined more thoroughly; (ii) Second, while the crisis is seen everywhere in Europe as it is attested by the low growth rates in the 2000s, the fates of Eastern and Southeastern Europe have diverged from each other, for they have different ways...
Effects of economic crises after 1990 on the Turkish insurance sector Özbek, Pelin; Gaygısız Lajunen, Esma; Department of Economics (2010) In this thesis, effects of economic crises after 1990 on the Turkish insurance sector are analyzed with special emphasis on 1994, 2001 and 2008 crises. In the first step, EGARCH model is used to measure the exchange rate uncertainty. Then, a time series model for the aggregate analysis and a panel data model for the disaggregate analysis which both include the estimated exchange rate uncertainty together with other macroeconomic and firm specific variables are set up. The results indicate that aggregate and...
The Greek political elite and the European identity: impact of the debt crisis Çengel, Esra; Ünlü Bilgiç, Tuba; Department of European Studies (2018) This thesis aims to analyze the possible impact of the 2008 Greek Debt Crisis on the Greek elites’ perception of belonging to the European identity. It will argue that the 2008 Debt Crisis has negatively affected the Greek elites’ perception of identity. It is assumed that this negative change has been reflected in their discourses throughout the crisis. Therefore, this thesis will try to demonstrate the change through discourse analysis of the political elites’ speeches from 2002 to 2015. In doing so, it w...
The validity of the relative purchasing power parity and the uncovered interest rate parity theories for the dollar/Euro exchange rate Berberoğlu, Pınar; Güner, Zehra Nuray; Department of European Studies (2004) This study analyzes validity of the relative purchasing power parity (PPP) and the uncovered interest rate parity (IRP) theories for the dollar/euro exchange rate. The period of analysis is from 1990 to 2003. The dollar/euro exchange rate represents the currencies of a country, the USA, and a region, the Euro Area. The basic data needed for this study are the dollar/euro exchange rate, and the inflation and the interest rates for the USA and the Euro Area. Since the Euro Area was officially formed on Januar...
