I use an experiment to analyze individuals’ choices for two well-known allocation rules proposed by the theoretical literature while sharing losses (bankruptcy situation): Equal Losses Rule (EL) and Proportional Rule (PRO). For the experiment, I use an investment game where individuals choose how much to contribute to a group project. The contribution of two individuals determines the value of the project. While this value rises with some probability (success rate), it shrinks (bankruptcy) with the remaining probability. In the case of success, investors obtain an interest that is proportional to their initial investment, and in the case of bankruptcy, they use either EL or PRO to share the shrunk value. In this game, given the symmetry for agents’ risk aversion, a risk-neutral agent obtains the same expected payoff under both bankruptcy rules in equilibrium. However, depending on the individual’s expectation about group’s average investment level compared to her own investment level, an individual may prefer one rule to another. I first test how agents’ rule choices differ depending on the success rate, their expected payoffs, which are calculated by using their beliefs about group’s average investment, as well as some personal characteristics, like gender, and risk aversion. I observe that subjects expect their group members to invest as much as they do under both rules, and they are indifferent between the rules. I also observe that both rules induce similar investment levels, which are independent of subjects’ risk aversion.

Risk measurement, management and option pricing via a new log-normal sum approximation method
Zeytun, Serkan; Uğur, Ömür; Korn, Ralf; Department of Financial Mathematics (2012)
In this thesis we mainly focused on the usage of the Conditional Value-at-Risk (CVaR) in risk management and on the pricing of the arithmetic average basket and Asian options in the Black-Scholes framework via a new log-normal sum approximation method. Firstly, we worked on the linearization procedure of the CVaR proposed by Rockafellar and Uryasev. We constructed an optimization problem with the objective of maximizing the expected return under a CVaR constraint. Due to possible intermediate payments we as...
Application of stochastic volatility models with jumps to BIST options
Rahiminejat, Monireh; Sezer, Ali Devin; Department of Financial Mathematics (2017)
This thesis gives a derivation of call and put option pricing formulas under stochastic volatility models with jumps; the precise model is a combination of Merton and Heston models. The derivation is based on the computation of the characteristic function of the underlying process. We use the derived formulas to fit the model to options written on two stocks in the BIST30 index covering the first two months of 2017. The fit is done by minimizing a weighted $L_2$ distance between the observed prices and the ...
Investment climate parameters in transition economies : the case of Russia
Nikitin, Sergei; Özveren, Eyüp; Department of Economics (2003)
This thesis incorporates institutional definition of the economies in transition into the economic analysis of the investment variable. Probability environment of the real world is another point of analysis. Decision-making framework is analyzed and incorporated into analysis as well. Thesis tries to answer questions such as: Why same projects are treated differently in different circumstances. Finally the Russian experience is investigated and used to prove hypothesis about investment climate parameters an...
Predicting financial distress of Turkish non-financial firms: evidence from micro data
Yılmaz, Muhammed Hasan; Ercan, Hakan; Department of Economics (2019)
In this thesis, determinants of financial distress probabilities are analyzed for the period over 2006-2016 by utilizing firm-level and loan-level data sets. Based on the financial distress definition constructed from the existence of non-performing loans, univariate tests indicate that financially problematic Turkish corporates have lower liquidity, profitability and asset turnover, while they are also the ones with inferior short and long-term debt paying ability. To form multivariate specifications, vari...
Policy regime change and the Feldstein-Horioka puzzle: the UK evidence
Ozmen, E; Parmaksiz, K (2003-02-01)
This study investigates whether the Feldstein and Horioka [Econ. J. 90 (1980) 314.] argument on domestic saving-investment relationship may remain as a "puzzle" when an endogenous structural break corresponding to a major policy regime change is taken into account. To this end, we employ not only the conventional procedures developed for a data generation process without a break, but also some recent methods which allow stationarity around an endogenous break under the alternative hypothesis. The evidence b...
