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 indicate that the properties of the debt dynamics are closely related to the spreads on both dollar denominated debt and YTL denominated debt. This thesis also provides an application of two traditional methodologies, such as Wilcox's (1989) methodology and Uctum and Wicken's (2000) methodology in order to assess the fiscal sustainability of Turkey.

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...
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...
Pricing default and financial distress risks in foreign currency-denominated corporate loans in Turkey Yılmaz, Aycan; Erol, Işıl; Department of Financial Mathematics (2011) The globalization leads to integration of the economies worldwide. As the firms' businesses also get integrated with each other, the financing choices of the firms diversify. Among these choices, the popularity and the share of foreign currency borrowing in total borrowing by non-financial firms increase in Turkey similar to the global developments. The main purpose of this thesis is to price the risks of default and financial distress due to foreign currency denominated loans of non-financial firms in Turk...
Analysis of inflation dynamics in Turkey: a New Keynesian Phillips Curve approach Eruygur, Ayşegül; Erlat, Haluk; Department of Economics (2011) The main aim of this thesis is to explain the inflation dynamics in Turkey within a theoretically consistent empirical framework. The New Keynesian Phillips Curve (NKPC) is chosen as the basis model for our analysis because, by describing the inflation process within an intertemporal optimizing dynamic general equilibrium model, it provides a rigorous analytical groundwork for credible welfare and policy analysis. We have contributed to the literature by developing a NKPC formulation that is novel in the li...
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...
