Nowadays, the importance of financial crises and defaults of countries are becoming clear due to the globalization in the economic area and investments. Generalized partial linear model (GPLM) is a combination of two different regression models connecting with the mean of the dependent variable with the help of a link function. It is adequate to high-dimensional, non-normal data sets having the flexibility to reflect all anomalies effectively. The nonlinear patterns are also easily explained by the nonparametric component of the model. In this study, we introduce a newly developed conic GPLM (CGPLM) to predict default probabilities of 45 emerging markets using the contribution of a continuous model CMARS and a discrete model logistic regression. We present its application results on a data set with 13 macroeconomic variables in 25 years' time. To predict debt crises, CGPLM gives better results than a single CMARS and a single logistic regression. In fact, we have 91.81% and 89.31% accuracy rates, computed according to the correctness of the model output, for training and validation sample, respectively. This improvement in prediction of crises can contribute to new prospects and developments in financial mathematics to make more accurate previsions for investments and to take measures due to coming risks.

Modeling of exchange rates by multivariate adaptive regression splines and comparison with classical statistical methods Köksal, Ece; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm; Department of Financial Mathematics (2017) Economic factors like inflation, interest rates and exchange rates are among the leading indicators of a country’s relative level of economic health. With the help of technological improvements and global requirements, trading volume and a wide range of commerce network, exchange rates play a vital role in economics and finance since a higher exchange rate may result in a lower trade balance of a country, whereas a lower rate may cause an increase. Inflation, interest rates, domestic money supply growth, a ...
Analysis of foreign ownership, RD and spillovers in developing countries: Evidence from Turkey Pamukcu, Mehmet Teoman (null; 2011-09-02) In the past few decades globalization enabled a new playing field for emerging economies. With the falling costs of information and communication technologies, multinational companies (MNCs) from the developed world first took advantage of the low labor costs in the developing economies. However, recognizing the lower cost of skilled manpower in the same countries, MNCs started to take advantage of scientists and engineers as well. Therefore, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has been recognized as a major me...
Investigating the effects of illiquidity on credit risks via new liquidity augmented stochastic volatility jump diffusion model Gaygısız Lajunen, Esma; Hekimoglu, Alper (2021-12-01) Liquidity is extremely important not only within the context of financial markets but also in every scale of economic transactions. In this study, within the realm of financial markets, we configure liquidity as an independent stochastic process moderating the fluidity of all transactions and hence dynamically changing asset values. This study's asset value process ignoring liquidity is modelled with a stochastic volatility jump-diffusion (SVJ) model and that model is augmented with the incorporation of a l...
Determination of inflation rate in a hidden markov model framework: Turkey case Aydoğan, Dilek; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe; Yolcu Okur, Yeliz; Department of Financial Mathematics (2015) Inflation is a significant issue that is cared by every segment of society but especially by economists since it plays an important role in the economic problems of countries. In Turkey, inflation has been a substantial problem since 1970s. There is no stability at inflation rates from that time to 2003. The Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey became independent and started to apply implicit inflation target regime at 2001. As a result of these improvements inflation was taken under control at 2004. Alth...
Analyses of the impacts of U.S. macroeconomic announcements on the stock markets of a selection of countries Abasov, Muzaffar; Gaygısız Lajunen, Esma; Department of Economics (2018) This thesis analyses various aspects of the impacts of U.S. macroeconomic indicators (as GDP Growth, CPI and unemployment rates) and their scheduled announcements on the stock markets of U.S. and a selection other countries (U.K., Australia, Japan, China, and Brazil) for 10 years between 2007 and 2016. The study includes analyses related to intraday, daily and monthly return rates, and daily trade volumes of selected stock indices. The analyses show that, U.S. stock market is more likely to affect the stock...
