First chapter of this thesis is an attempt to model the price impact by extending themodel proposed by Kyle [54]. It is assumed that the market is not perfectly efficientso that it takes to time to adjust new equilibrium price. Thus, in order to model theprice impact, two new concepts are introduced which are market resiliency and speedof price informativeness. It is showed that market resiliency and price impact tend toraise as speed of price information increases which emphasizes the fact that speed ofinformation matters in financial markets and market resiliency is not a phenomenonthat can be neglected.In the second chapter, it is tried to stress the importance of the liquidity which is con-sidered as the neglected dimension of the financial risk. To do that, a new approachcalled Liquidity Augmented Stochastic Volatility with Jump (LASVJ) model is in-troduced and it is compared with the Stochastic Volatility with Jump (SVJ) model interms of stability and performance. This analysis includes both simulation and cali-bration analysis. The simulation results suggest that LASVJ model outperforms SVJas it has lower bias and Root Mean Square Error. In the calibration part, ten compa-nies listed in Dow-Jones 30 are used and it is found that the estimated probability ofdefault and credit spread with LASVJ model are higher than those with SVJ model.The 2008 Crisis period is even aggravated this result. The findings imply that thevii probability of default and credit spread are underestimated if liquidity dimension ofrisk is neglected and this partly accounts for why 2007-2008 financial crisis and itsfull-scale effect could not be predicted.In the third chapter, it is aimed to improve the volatility prediction which includedin the financial risk management. As a well-performing volatility prediction shedslight on the uncertainty in the financial market, it is an important task to model it. Tothis end, GARCH-type models as well as SVR-GARCH model are used to model thevolatility and the results are compared based on the performance metrics. In part ofempirical analysis thirty stocks listedS&P-500 are included and the period coveredis between 01/01/2010-09/01/2019. The finding indicates that SVR-GARCH outper-forms the traditional models in predicting volatility and also produce more reliableresult in Value-at-Risk estimation based on Proportion of Failures and Basel’s TrafficLight Backtesting approaches.

Analysis of an inventory system under supply uncertainty
Gullu, R; Onol, E; Erkip, N (Elsevier BV, 1999-03-20)
In this paper, we analyze a periodic review, single-item inventory model under supply uncertainty. The objective is to minimize expected holding and backorder costs over a finite planning horizon under the supply constraints. The uncertainty in supply is modeled using a three-point probability mass function. The supply is either completely available, partially available, or the supply is unavailable. Machine breakdowns, shortages in the capacity of the supplier, strikes, etc., are possible causes of uncerta...
Critical realism as a rival methodology for institutional economics
Gürpınar, Erkan; Özveren, Eyüp; Department of Economics (2008)
The aim of the thesis is to clarify the methodology of the original institutional economics and then to evaluate the current attempts to utilize critical realism as a superior methodology for it. After sketching the historical background of the discussions surrounding methodology of science and 19th century economic methodology, the thesis separately analyses the methodology of institutional economics and critical realist stance in the philosophy of science. A critical discussion of the subject matter reach...
Modeling and implementation of local volatility surfaces in Bayesian framework
Animoku, Abdulwahab; Uğur, Ömür; Yolcu-Okur, Yeliz (2018-06-01)
In this study, we focus on the reconstruction of volatility surfaces via a Bayesian framework. Apart from classical methods, such as, parametric and non-parametric models, we study the Bayesian analysis of the (stochastically) parametrized volatility structure in Dupire local volatility model. We systematically develop and implement novel mathematical tools for handling the classical methods of constructing local volatility surfaces. The most critical limitation of the classical methods is obtaining negativ...
Analysis of an inventory system under backorder correlated deterministic demand and geometric supply process
Argon, NT; Gullu, R; Erkip, N (2001-05-06)
In this article we propose a single item, periodic review model that investigates the effects of changes in the demand process that occur after stockout realizations. We investigate a system where the demands in successive periods are deterministic but affected by the backorder realizations. In order to capture the effects of changes in the demand process we use a geometric type supply availability. We analytically derive the necessary components for obtaining profit related performance measures and provide...
