In order to avoid destructive results of financial bubbles which affect the entire economy, it is important to develop an early-warning signalling. By using optimization-supported tools, we introduce a new method for an early-warning signalling which approaches the bubble concept geometrically by determining and evaluating ellipsoids. We generate a volume-based index via minimum-volume covering ellipsoid clustering method, and to visualize these ellipsoids, we utilize Radon transform from the theory of the Inverse Problems. The analyses were conducted for US, Japan and China stock markets. In our study, we observe that when the bubble-burst time approaches, the volumes of the ellipsoids gradually decrease and, correspondingly, the figures obtained by Radon transform become more "brilliant", i.e., more strongly warning.

Early warning on stock market bubbles via ellipsoidal clustering and inverse problems
Kürüm, Efsun; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm; İyigün, Cem; Department of Financial Mathematics (2014)
When a financial bubble bursts, not only a large number of people suffer directly in society, but it also affects the entire economy. Therefore, it is important to develop an early warning using mathematics-supported tools that aims at a detection of bubbles. We introduce a new method which approaches the bubble concept geometrically by determining and evaluating ellipsoids. In fact, we generate a volume-based index via minimum-volume covering ellipsoid clustering method, and in order to visualize these ell...
Stochastic processes adapted by neural networks with application to climate, energy, and finance
Giebel, Stefan; Rainer, Martin (Elsevier BV, 2011-10-01)
Local climate parameters may naturally effect the price of many commodities and their derivatives. Therefore we propose a joint framework for stochastic modeling of climate and commodity prices. In our setting, a stable Levy process is drift augmented to a generalized SDE. The related nonlinear function on the state space typically exhibits deterministic chaos. Additionally, a neural network adapts the parameters of the stable process such that the latter produces increasingly optimal differences between si...
Memorandum on a new financial architecture and new regulations

The financial crisis is global and is deeply rooted in a decade-long misuse of the financial market for rent-seeking. The financial industry has largely abandoned its role as a service industry, supposedly charging reasonable fees for the services of spreading risk and allocating capital and credit. Instead it provides a market for corporate control –mergers and acquisitions– and a casino for betting on or hedging practically any kind of risk –the derivatives market–.
MACROPRUDENTIAL POLICIES FOR SMALL OPEN ECONOMIES
Karaşahin, Ramazan; Gaygısız Lajunen, Esma; Department of Economics (2022-10)
Recent global financial crisis has made it crystal clear that solely price stability is not enough for macroeconomic stability. A new consensus underlining financial stability as a prerequisite for macroeconomic stability emerged. However, there is not agreement neither on the exact definition of financial stability nor on the appropriate tools to reach financial stability. Macroprudential policies are widely employed by policy makers for financial stability purposes following the global crisis, in particul...
