The main purpose of this thesis is to assess the potential of emerging stock markets and commodity markets in attracting the attention of international investors who utilize various portfolio diversification strategies to reduce the cumulative risk of their portfolio. A successful portfolio diversification strategy requires low correlation among financial markets. However, it is now well documented that the correlations among financial markets in developed countries are very high and hence the benefits of international portfolio diversification among these markets have been very limited. This fact suggests that investors should look for alternative markets whose correlations with developed markets are low (or even negative if possible) and which have high growth potentials. In this thesis, two emerging countries' stock markets and two commodity markets are considered as alternative markets. Among emerging countries, Turkey and China are chosen due to their promising growth performance since the mid-2000s. As commodity markets, agricultural commodity and precious metal markets are selected because of the outstanding performance of the former and the "safe harbor" property of the latter. The structures and properties of dependence between these markets and stock markets in developed countries are examined by modeling the conditional correlation in the dynamic conditional correlation framework. The results reveal that upward trend hypothesis is valid for almost all correlations among market pairs and market volatility plays significant role in time varying structures of correlations.

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...
Modelling and implementation of local volatility surfaces
Animoku, Abdulwahab; Yolcu Okur, Yeliz; Uğur, Ömür; Department of Financial Mathematics (2014)
In this thesis, Dupire local volatility model is studied in details as a means of modeling the volatility structure of a financial asset. In this respect, several forms of local volatility equations have been derived: Dupire's local volatility, local volatility as conditional expectation, and local volatility as a function of implied volatility. We have proven the main results of local volatility model discussed in the literature in details. In addition, we have also proven the local volatility model under ...
An Analysis of momentum and mean reversion effects on equity indices
Özbilge, Armağan; Yolcu Okur, Yeliz; Nazlıben, Kamil Korhan; Department of Financial Mathematics (2015)
Momentum and mean-reversion effects have become very popular in finance literature for the last two decades since their presence can generate abnormal profit patterns by applying either relative strength or contrarian trading strategy accordingly. Even though there are some common factor explanations for return reversals, they might not provide the full picture for return persistence. In our theoretical framework, we analyse some of the well-known discrete time momentum studies including the initial one and...
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...
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...
