One of the basic observations on pricing options is that the assumption of constant volatility does not agree with data and market price data gives a volatility smile that depends on maturities and strike prices. The ﬁrst model that developed to be compatible with this observation is the local volatility model. The purpose of this work is to study the performance of the local volatility model on BIST30 warrants and compare it to the standard Black Scholes model. To estimate the local volatility model from data two approaches are used: 1) we estimate the local volatility directly from the underlying data (in this approach we make two assumptions: a) the local volatility depends only on the price of the underlying b) the local volatility is a piecewise linear function) 2)ﬁrst a Heston model is ﬁt to option prices and we use Dupire’s formula to derive the implied local volatiliy model.

How does the stock market volatility change after inception of futures trading? Esen, İnci; Danışoğlu, Seza; Department of Financial Mathematics (2007) As the trading volume in TURKDEX, the first and only options and futures exchange in Turkey, increases, it becomes more important to have an understanding of the effect of stock index futures trading on the underlying spot market volatility. In this respect, this thesis analyzes the effect of ISE-National 30 index futures contract trading on the underlying stocks’ volatility. In this thesis, spot portfolio volatility is decomposed into two components and this decomposition is applied to a single-factor retu...

Moreover, the predictability of some macroeconomic variables based on the stock market return behavior is investigated.
Applications of the heston model on BIST30 warrants : hedging and pricing Mert, Özenç Murat; Sezer, Ali Devin; Department of Financial Mathematics (2016) The Heston model is one of the first and known stochastic volatility models. The aim of this work is to study the performance of the Heston Model on pricing and hedging the warrants written on BIST30 and the compatibility between the observation of the Heston Model in the literature and BIST30 data.
