Asset pricing always attracted a lot of attention in the finance world literature and it is built mainly on the mean-variance framework of the Capital Asset Pricing Model (CAPM). Although CAPM is commonly used by academics and practitioners, its validity is often questioned. The researchers have investigated the significance of CAPM by empirical tests, and there is a fairly large body of the literature about the shortcomings of the model. For these reasons, researchers on asset pricing have started to develop different models and consider higher moments in asset pricing. The aim of this study is to determine the effect of skewness and kurtosis factors on the variation of portfolio excess returns in Borsa Istanbul (BIST) over the period from January 1990 to June 2013. Excess returns are calculated for portfolios that are formed according to the size, book to market, momentum, coskewness, and cokurtosis factors. The Fama-French three-factor model is used as the base model and skewness and kurtosis factors are added to the base model separately. The incremental effect of skewness and kurtosis factors over the Fama- French factors is examined with time series regressions.

Financial modelling with random bridge signals and forward information
Aydın, Nadi Serhan; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm; Constantinides, Anthony G.; Department of Financial Mathematics (2016)
In this thesis, we focus on modelling financial information flow, and information-based asset pricing. The fundamental properties of the framework under study are recovered in detail, after which a brief information-theoretic perspective is offered to quantify the information content of signals. A link to the existing literature on asymmetric information/belief equilibrium is established through a sequential auction model with heterogeneous signals. The effects of differential information on the allocation ...
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 ...
On forward interest rate models : via random fields and Markov jump processes
Altay, Sühan; Körezlioğlu, Hayri; Department of Financial Mathematics (2007)
The essence of the interest rate modeling by using Heath-Jarrow-Morton framework is to find the drift condition of the instantaneous forward rate dynamics so that the entire term structure is arbitrage free. In this study, instantaneous forward interest rates are modeled using random fields and Markov Jump processes and the drift conditions of the forward rate dynamics are given. Moreover, the methodology presented in this study is extended to certain financial settings and instruments such as multi-country...
Information Producers and Valuation: Evidence from Real Estate Markets
Downs, David H.; Güner, Zehra Nuray (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2012-01-01)
This paper examines valuation and its relation to information production by licensed appraisers across real estate markets. The testable implications are discussed for either a peer monitoring or a crowding out effect in the data. The empirical model is estimated with data for all 50 US states and DC covering the sample period from 1999 to 2008. While analysis is primarily cross-sectional and not causal, the evidence is consistent with theory stating that the minimum quality associated with residential lice...
Energy mutual funds and oil prices
Gormus, Alper; Diltz, John David; Soytaş, Uğur (Emerald, 2018-01-01)
Purpose The purpose of this paper is to examine the price level and volatility impacts of oil prices on energy mutual funds (EMFs). The authors also examine specific fund characteristics which might influence those interactions.
