Interactions between macroeconomic fundamentals and term structure of interest rates be stronger according to the way of changes in structure of worldwide economy. Combined macro-finance analysis determines the joint dynamics of term structure of interest rates and macroeconomic fundamentals. This thesis provides analysis of two existing macro-finance models and an original one. Parameter estimations for these three macro-finance term structure models are done for monthly Turkish data by use of an efficient recursive estimator Kalman filter. In spite of the small scale application the results are satisfactory except first model but with longer sets of macroeconomic variables and interest rate data models provide more encouraging results.

Monetary Policy in The General Theory
Ekinci, Nazım Kadri (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2008-6)
The theory of interest rate is central to Keynesian macroeconomics. This paper provides an interpretation of Keynes’ conventional theory of the interest rate. Accordingly, the interest rate can only be determined in the market, if expectations converge. The central bank is a market-maker, because of its capacity to manage expectations and to affect market outcomes. On the other hand, interest rate and asset prices determine the rate at which wealth is converted into income. This may be a crucial considerati...
Investigation of smooth breaks and nonlinear mean reversion in real interest parity: evidence from asian countries
Gülcü, Abdullah; Yıldırım Kasap, Dilem; Department of Economics (2017)
This study explores the empirical validity of long run Real Interest Parity (RIP) for a set of Asian countries for the period of January 1984 and August 2016 by taking Japan as a base country. We apply unit root test of Christopoulos and Leon-Ledesma (2010) which enables us to measure infrequent smooth temporary breaks and nonlinear mean reversion in the real interest rate differential (rid) series simultaneously. We model the smooth breaks by Fourier function while nonlinearity in rids series are model by ...
Macroeconomic announcements and intraday stock market volatility
Yılmaz, Berna Nisa; Danışoğlu, Seza; Department of Financial Mathematics (2017)
This study examines the effects of interest and inflation rate announcements on stock market volatility by using a standard event study methodology. The BIST-30 Index volatility is modelled and forecasted by the multiplicative component GARCH model. This is one of the first studies where the announcement effects are analyzed on the basis of volatility forecasts produced by the multiplicative component GARCH. The announcement effects are observed clearly with the advantage of using high-frequency data. While...
Frequency domain approach and short run and long run causality test: Evidence from Turkey for interest rate and exchange rate relationship
Tarı, Recep; Abasız, Tezcan (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2009-12-1)
Relationship between short term nominal interest rates and nominal exchange rates that the Central Bank in Turkey used as a means of monetary policy tool during the period of 1987:1-2008:1 was analysed by using frequency domain approach within the framework of spectral analysis. According to the findings, the causal relationship from the exchange rate to the interest rate was valid only for the short run, whereas this relationship was effective for totally 45 months before, during and after the crisis. The ...
A threshold cointegration analysis of interest rate pass-through to UK mortgage rates
Becker, Ralf; Osborn, Denise R.; Yıldırım Kasap, Dilem (2012-11-01)
This paper empirically analyses the interest rate transmission mechanism in the United Kingdom by exploring the pass-through of the official rate to the money market rate and of the market rate to the mortgage rate. Potential asymmetries, due to financial market conditions and monetary policy, lead to the use of a nonlinear threshold error-correction model, with hypothesis tests based on nonstandard bootstrap procedures that take into account the discrete nature of changes in the official rate. The empirica...
