This study investigates the time contingent behavior of risk factor USDTRY. Option pricing models Black-Scholes and Heston has been utilized to estimate the behavior. The adjusted Black-Sholes model is the current market practice to model USDTRY risk factor. Market practitioners do not prefer to use constant volatility in the Black-Scholes Model, which violates the model assumption. They instead interpolate the volatility surface from market data of implied volatilities and use them in Black-Scholes Model. However, Heston model admits varying volatilities. The Heston Model adds a dimension to the Black-Scholes model by letting the volatility to be a stochastic process. In this thesis, we have used interpolated volatility surface as a benchmark for testing the results estimated by the Heston Model. Furthermore, while estimating option prices, Overnight-Indexed-Swap (OIS) discounting framework has been governed to achieve risk-free rates. The test results have indicated that Heston stochastic volatility model with OIS discounting offers arbitrage-free pricing with similar computation efficiency to the benchmark.

Predicting bank failures in Turkey by Discrete Choice Models Ercan, Hakan (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2009) This study investigates the factors that were important in the failure of banks in 1997-2006. The study uses cross-section time series data from 81 banks and employs limited dependent variable models. The major objectives are to examine the determinants of bank failures by explaining the contribution of both microeconomic and macroeconomic factors in the Turkish banking system and to estimate the likelihood of banking failure.
Dynamic complex hedging and portfolio optimization in additive markets Polat, Onur; Hayfavi, Azize; Department of Financial Mathematics (2009) In this study, the geometric Additive market models are considered. In general, these market models are incomplete, that means: the perfect replication of derivatives, in the usual sense, is not possible. In this study, it is shown that the market can be completed by new artificial assets which are called “power-jump assets” based on the power-jump processes of the underlying Additive process. Then, the hedging portfolio for claims whose payoff function depends on the prices of the stock and the power-jump ...
Modeling future mortality rates using both deterministic and stochastic approaches Hasgül, Etkin; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe; Yolcu Okur, Yeliz; Department of Actuarial Sciences (2015) This study is based on creating an alternative mortality rates projection method for constructingthefuturemortalitytablesofseveralcountriesincludingTurkey. Amodel, which can truly estimate the future mortality rates with a 95% conﬁdence interval, is built. During the study, a general model which includes the dependent variable; logit function of death rate, and the independent variables; general tendency of the mortality evolution independent of age, the mortality steepness, additional effects of childhood,...
Identification of Risk Paths in International Construction Projects Using Structural Equation Modeling Eybpoosh, Matineh; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (American Society of Civil Engineers (ASCE), 2011-12-01) The major aim of this research is to demonstrate that causal relationships exist among various risk factors that necessitate identification of risk paths, rather than individual risk factors, during risk assessment of construction projects. International construction projects have more complex risk-emergence patterns because they are affected by global and foreign country conditions and project-related factors. Identification of a network of interactive risk paths, each of which initiated from diverse vulne...
