The various versions of CreditRisk+ have widely been used in the financial industry. We compute the loss distribution under CreditRisk+ model by fast fourier transform technique in order to have faster and more stable results. Moreover, we link the parameters of the model to the exogenously observed variables which could be obtained from the financial markets by the use of Poisson INAR process. It is shown that the estimation of the parameters become available under this setup. This enables us to build a system that allows users to monitor and predict the banks loss characteristics without having specific and current information on banks.

A market model for pricing inflation indexed bonds with jumps incorporation
Güney, İbrahim Ethem; Hayfavi, Azize; Department of Financial Mathematics (2008)
Protection against inflation is an essential part of the today's financial markets, particularly in high-inflation economies. Hence, nowadays inflation indexed instruments are being increasingly popular in the world financial markets. In this thesis, we focus on pricing of the inflation-indexed bonds which are the unique inflation-indexed instruments traded in the Turkish bond market. Firstly, we review the Jarrow-Yildirim model which deals with pricing of the inflation-indexed instruments within the HJM fr...
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...
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...
Additional factor in asset-pricing: Institutional ownership
Uğurlu-Yıldırım, Ecenur; Şendeniz Yüncü, İlkay (Elsevier BV, 2020-01-01)
In this paper, we hypothesize that institutional investor variable is a proxy for some systematic risk factors, which should be incorporated into the asset-pricing model. Mimicking portfolio for institutional ownership, called IMI (Institutional minus Individual), is constructed. Including IMI to the Carhart's 4-factor model captures the common variations in returns better than all other models that are tested. Consistent with the literature, the new 5-factor model improves mispricing mostly in portfolios i...
Dynamic complex hedging and portfolio optimization in additive markets
Polat, Onur; Hayfavi, Azize; Department of Financial Mathematics (2009)
In this study, the geometric Additive market models are considered. In general, these market models are incomplete, that means: the perfect replication of derivatives, in the usual sense, is not possible. In this study, it is shown that the market can be completed by new artificial assets which are called “power-jump assets” based on the power-jump processes of the underlying Additive process. Then, the hedging portfolio for claims whose payoff function depends on the prices of the stock and the power-jump ...
