The daily financial volume of transaction on the New York Stock Exchange and its day-to-day fluctuations are analysed with respect to power-law tails as well to their long-term trends. We also model the transition to a Gaussian distribution for longer time intervals, like months instead of days.

Viscoelastic behavior of stock indices
Gündüz, Güngör; Guenduez, Yalin (Elsevier BV, 2010-12-15)
The scattering diagram of a stock index results in a complex network structure, which can be used to analyze the viscoelastic properties of the index. The change along x-or y-direction of the diagram corresponds to purely elastic (or spring like) movement whereas the diagonal change at an angle of 45 degrees corresponds to purely viscous (or dashpot like) movement. The viscous component pushes the price from its current value to any other value, while the elastic component acts like a restoring force. Four ...
Exchange rate regimes, saving glut and the Feldstein-Horioka puzzle: The East Asian experience
Kaya-Bahçe, Seçil; Özmen, Erdal (Elsevier BV, 2008-04-15)
This paper investigates whether the recent experience of the emerging East Asian countries with current account surpluses is consistent with the "saving glut" hypothesis and the Feldstein and Horioka puzzle. The evidence suggests that the saving retention coefficients declined substantially in most of the countries after an endogenous break date coinciding with a major exchange rate regime change with the 1997-1998 crisis. Exchange rate flexibility appears to be enhancing financial integration. The results ...
One-factor interest rate models : analytic solutions and approximations
Yolcu, Yeliz; Körezlioğlu, Hayri; Department of Financial Mathematics (2005)
The uncertainty attached to future movements of interest rates is an essential part of the Financial Decision Theory and requires an awareness of the stochastic movement of these rates. Several approaches have been proposed for modeling the one-factor short rate models where some lead to arbitrage-free term structures. However, no definite consensus has been reached with regard to the best approach for interest rate modeling. In this work, we briefly examine the existing one-factor interest rate models and ...
Volatility indexes and an implementation of the Turkish BIST 30 index
Karakurt, Caner; Uğur, Ömür; Department of Financial Mathematics (2018)
In 1993, by representing of CBOE Vix, global financial markets met volatility indexes. In 2003, methodology of the CBOE Vix is updated and it took the form which used today. Day after day, volatility indexes have attracted more and more investors and financial institutions, and soon volatility indexes have succeeded in becoming one of the most followed financial indicators. Following these developments, many countries have introduced their implied volatility indexes by using CBOE Vix methodology or its vari...
Yield curve estimation and prediction with Vasicek Model
Bayazıt, Derviş; Hayvafi, Azize; Department of Financial Mathematics (2004)
The scope of this study is to estimate the zero-coupon yield curve of tomorrow by using Vasicek yield curve model with the zero-coupon bond yield data of today. The raw data of this study is the yearly simple spot rates of the Turkish zero-coupon bonds with different maturities of each day from July 1, 1999 to March 17, 2004. We completed the missing data by using Nelson-Siegel yield curve model and we estimated tomorrow yield cuve with the discretized Vasicek yield curve model.
