This paper aims to set up and solve a multi-period stochastic portfolio optimization model from an airline company's point of view, considering all the specific European Union Emissions Trading Scheme (EU ETS) regulatory, managerial and trading constraints (i.e. physical constraints). Our contribution to existing academic literature is multiple. As the first ever case, we apply this technique to the aviation sector, a newly included sector within the EU ETS. More than mainly incorporating physical and technical ('engineering') features and focusing on short-term planning issues, we particularly address financial features and focus on mid-term planning issues. Therefore, instead of using spot prices, we run Monte Carlo simulations of correlated geometric Brownian motions (GBM) for traded futures prices of various emission allowance types for different CO2 delivery time periods. We thereby specifically refer to the existing exchange-traded emission allowance types EU Emission Allowance (EUA) and Certified Emission Reduction (CER). By implementing actually valid and real-world-oriented regulatory constraints for EU ETS, namely managerial and trading constraints, our model implies a real-life application. We also highlight the possibility of banking and borrowing of emission allowances between CO2 compliance periods, which is a crucial regulatory feature of EU ETS.

A Multi-period stochastic portfolio optimization and hedging model applied for the aviation sector in the EU ETS Kalayci, Erkan; Gaygısız Lajunen, Esma; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm; Department of Financial Mathematics (2013) In this thesis, we set up and solved a multi-period stochastic portfolio optimization and hedging model with futures from an airline company's point of view, by taking into account all the specific EU ETS (EU Emission Trading Scheme) regulatory and board-defined trading and risk constraints. That is, in order to hedge the natural physical short position in CO2 emission allowances, we developed an optimal hedging strategy consisting of futures contracts. We thereby successively and comprehensively derived al...
A STOCHASTIC APPROACH TO MODEL HOUSING MARKETS: THE US HOUSING MARKET CASE YILMAZ, BİLGİ; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe (2018-12-01) This study aims to estimate the price changes in housing markets using a stochastic process, which is defined in the form of stochastic differential equations (SDEs). It proposes a general SDEs system on the price structure in terms of house price index and mortgage rate to establish an effective process. As an empirical analysis, it applies a calibration procedure to an SDE on monthly S&P/Case-Shiller US National Home Price Index (HPI) and 30-year fixed mortgage rate to estimate parameters of differentiabl...
A Test of multi-index asset pricing models: the case of Istanbul Stock Exchange Kalaç, Sırrı Selim; Danışoğlu, Seza; Department of Business Administration (2012) This study employs widely excepted asset pricing models to test their explanatory power in the context of Istanbul Stock Exchange listed companies between 1990 and 2010. The risk factors, beta, size, book-to-market equity, and momentum are used to form portfolios and their factor loadings are estimated. The results of this study are mostly in line with the previous academic research, and some unique attributes of the return generation mechanism of Istanbul Stock Exchange are reported.
Analysis of Turkish stock market with Markov regime switching volatility models Karadağ, Mehmet Ali; Danışoğlu, Seza; Department of Financial Mathematics (2008) In this study, both uni-regime GARCH and Markov Regime Switching GARCH (SW-GARCH) models are examined to analyze Turkish Stock Market volatility. We investigate various models to find out whether SW-GARCH models are an improvement on the uni-regime GARCH models in terms of modelling and forecasting Turkish Stock Market volatility. As well as using seven statistical loss functions, we apply Superior Predictive Ability (SPA) test of Hansen (2005) and Reality Check test (RC) of White (2000) to compare forecast...
Additional factor in asset-pricing: Institutional ownership Uğurlu-Yıldırım, Ecenur; Şendeniz Yüncü, İlkay (Elsevier BV, 2020-01-01) In this paper, we hypothesize that institutional investor variable is a proxy for some systematic risk factors, which should be incorporated into the asset-pricing model. Mimicking portfolio for institutional ownership, called IMI (Institutional minus Individual), is constructed. Including IMI to the Carhart's 4-factor model captures the common variations in returns better than all other models that are tested. Consistent with the literature, the new 5-factor model improves mispricing mostly in portfolios i...
