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 2004. Simulated yield curves are generally upward sloped and concave. Contrary to the common observation, long-term yields are more volatile compared to short-term yields. Under each financing strategy, debt is rolled over on top of simulated term structure of interest rates. Alternative financing strategies are compared with respect to absolute Cost-at-Risk, relative Cost-at-Risk and relative risk measures computed from the simulated cost distributions. Results of the risk analysis are influenced by the characteristics of the simulated term structure of interest rates and the additional yield imposed on the coupon bonds, which is assumed to reflect risk perception of investors for increased maturity.

Assessing domestic debt sustainability of Turkey with a risk management approach Tiftik, Mehmet Emre; Gaygısız Lajunen, Esma; Department of Economics (2006) This thesis analyzes the debt dynamics of Turkey and assesses the sustainability of fisscal policy. The assessment of fiscal policy follows the methodology of Garcia and Rigobon (2004). This approach focuses on the concept of debt sustainability from a risk management perspective and incorporates the effects of stochastic shocks to the economy in its assessment. The results suggest that a continuation of the present fiscal stances will lead to a fiscal unsustainability in Turkey. Furthermore, the results in...
The volatility spillover among a country’s foreign exchange, bond, and stock markets: a multivariate garch analysis Kubilay, Mustafa Murat; Danışoğlu, Seza; Department of Financial Mathematics (2012) The purpose of this study is to examine the volatility spillover among a country’s foreign exchange, bond and stock markets and the volatility transmission from the global bond, stock and commodity markets to these local financial markets. The sample for the study includes data from both emerging and developed economies in the time period between 2004 and 2011. A multivariate GARCH methodology with the BEKK representation is applied for the local financial markets and global variables are included as exogen...
Stock market integration between Turkey and Euopean Union countries Yücesan, Esin; Rhoades, Seza; Department of Business Administration (2004) The objective of the study is to analyze the effects of two breakpoints on the relationships of Istanbul Stock Exchange with the European stock markets and on the relationships among these European stock markets to increase the economic integration. The breakpoints are the execution of the Customs Union Agreement of Turkey with the European Union in 1/1/1996 and the introduction of the Euro in 1/1/1999. While both breakpoints have effects on Turkey̕s economic relations, the European Union countries are expe...
Statistical methods in credit rating Sezgin, Özge; Yıldırak, Şahap Kasırga; Department of Financial Mathematics (2006) Credit risk is one of the major risks banks and financial institutions are faced with. With the New Basel Capital Accord, banks and financial institutions have the opportunity to improve their risk management process by using Internal Rating Based (IRB) approach. In this thesis, we focused on the internal credit rating process. First, a short overview of credit scoring techniques and validation techniques was given. By using real data set obtained from a Turkish bank about manufacturing firms, default predi...
Economic uncertainty and credit crunch - Evidence from an emerging market Rhoades, SD; Güner, Zehra Nuray (Informa UK Limited, 2003-07-01) Using both univariate and multivariate analyses, this paper attempts to determine whether a credit crunch occurred in the Turkish economy during the 1990s. It also addresses the question of whether this credit crunch was a supply-side- or a demand-side-originated phenomenon. Economic uncertainty is proxied by unanticipated inflation. The analyses are carried out by controlling for political uncertainty as well. The results indicate that economic uncertainty has a significantly negative impact on the supply ...
