This paper develops a multi-sectoral computable general equilibrium (CGE) model of the Turkish economy, calibrated to 2003 base-year data to scan 2003-2008. The model treats the energy sector independently as in Celasun (1986), who presented an influential, multi-sector computable general equilibrium (CGE) model of the Turkish economy. The data set used in this paper, captures the energy-sector items that are the most relevant in the energy-import bill of the Turkish economy. Utilizing the data set and the model constructed, the paper presents the results of two experiments. The first experiment simulates an environment where the recent increases in the energy price levels continue into the near future. The second experiment limits the amount of foreign capital inflows, while keeping the increase in the world energy prices. The results illustrate the importance of the energy sector in production activities of the model economy and the significance of the availability of foreign savings that soften the negative effects of the rising energy prices on the economy.

The nature of persistence in Turkish real exchange rates Erlat, Haluk (Informa UK Limited, 2003-03-01) The objective of this paper is to investigate the persistence in Turkish real exchange rates (RER) using unit root tests and autoregressive fractionally integrated moving average (ARFIMA) models. We consider two RERs, one in terms of the German DM and the other in terms of the US$. ne plots of these RERs (based on both wholesale price indices and consumer price indices)for the period 1984.01-2000.09 reveal that they contain multiple shifts in their deterministic terms, one of which may need to be treated as...
On the reduction of Gaussian inverse Wishart mixtures Granström, Karl; Orguner, Umut (2012-09-12) This paper presents an algorithm for reduction of Gaussian inverse Wishart mixtures. Sums of an arbitrary number of mixture components are approximated with single components by analytically minimizing the Kullback-Leibler divergence. The Kullback-Leibler difference is used as a criterion for deciding whether or not two components should be merged, and a simple reduction algorithm is given. The reduction algorithm is tested in simulation examples in both one and two dimensions. The results presented in the ...
Measuring cost efficiency of Turkish commercial banks : a stochastic frontier approach Güneş, Hakan; Yıldırım Kasap, Dilem; Department of Economics (2013) This study examines cost efficiency of Turkish commercial banks through a stochastic frontier approach where the inefficiency effects are approximated by a set of bank-specific variables. Empirical results reveal that intermediation ratio, deposits divided by liabilities and labor per branch are the main determinants of the inefficiency of Turkish commercial banks. Moreover, it is observed that cost efficiency of all commercial banks has an upward trend until 2008 and it takes 10 quarters to recover from th...
On the Lagrange interpolation in multilevel fast multipole algorithm Ergül, Özgür Salih (2006-07-14) In this paper the Lagrange interpolation employed in the multilevel fast multipole algorithm (MLFMA) is considered as part of the efforts to obtain faster and more efficient solutions for large problems of computational electromagnetics. For the translation operator, this paper presents the choice of the parameters for optimal interpolation. Also, for the aggregation and disaggregation processes, the interpolation matrices are discussed and an efficient way of improving the accuracy by employing the poles a...
A Comparative Study on Two Different Direct Parallel Solution Strategies for Large-Scale Problems Bahcecioglu, T.; Ozmen, S.; Kurç, Özgür (2009-04-08) This paper presents a comparative study on two different direct parallel solution strategies for the linear solution of large scale actual finite element models: global and domain-by-domain. The global solution strategy was examined by utilizing the parallel multi-frontal equation solver, MUMPS [1], together with a finite element program. In a similar manner a substructure based parallel solution framework [2] was utilized for investigating the domain-by-domain strategy. Various large-scale structural model...
