This thesis consists of two essays on the impact of ambiguity on asset pricing. In the first essay, we provide a detailed review of theoretical models incorporating ambiguity into both decision-making and asset pricing models. In the framework of these discussions, we derive ambiguity indices and we provide both a comparison among themselves and an analysis showing the impact of ambiguity on asset pricing for Turkey. Our results confirm the existence of impact of ambiguity on asset returns even it is not strong. Second essay extents the analysis on the relationship between ambiguity and asset pricing by focusing on portfolio and stock level returns. The analysis incorporating other risk factors used commonly in the literature show that ambiguity is a factor priced in stock returns in Turkey.

Two essays on real estate economics and finance Duran, Murat; Erol, Işıl; Department of Economics (2013) This thesis presents two studies on real estate economics and finance which are separate but interrelated. The first chapter investigates the transmission of monetary policy to real estate-related industries in Turkey by estimating the effect of policy decisions on the stock prices of real estate-related industries. The study addresses endogeneity and omitted variable problems inherent in the relationship between stock prices and monetary policy by employing a heteroskedasticity based identification set-up....
Essays on Credit and Reserves Düzçay, Güney; Cömert, Hasan; Parmaksız, Ömer Kağan; Department of Economics (2022-6) This thesis consists of three separate essays that concern some challenges in the monetary sphere of developing countries. The theme of the first essay is the low level of credit creation capacity in developing countries.

The concept of the hierarchy of money is put to use in order to discuss the structural forces that constrain domestic currency denominated credit cre...
Additional tests of multi-index asset pricing models: evidence from an emerging market Danışoğlu, Seza (2017-01-01) This study provides comprehensive evidence on the performance of asset pricing models in an emerging market setting. Tests are conducted on portfolios formed based on Fama-MacBeth betas, Fama-French size and book-to-market (B/M) factors, Carhart's short-and long-term past returns and Pastor and Stambaugh's liquidity beta. This is one of the first studies to provide emerging market evidence on Pastor and Stambaugh's liquidity beta measuring a firm's sensitivity to changing levels of market-wide liquidity. Re...

Nonlinear models for UK macroeconomic time series Ocal, N (2000-09-01) This paper examines possible nonlinearities in growth rates of nine U.K. macroeconomic time series, namely gross domestic product, price, consumption, retail sales, personal disposable income, savings, investment, industrial production and unemployment, chosen as representative of series typically used to investigate business cycle fluctuations. By basing analysis on the class of smooth-transition autoregressive (STAR) models, it is assumed that the economy can be in one of two states with distinct dynamics...
