A quantitative framework for testing the resilience of Islamic finance portfolios under IFSB and Basel capital rules

2017-01-01
Aydin, Nadi Serhan
Purpose - This paper aims to introduce a model-based stress-testing methodology for Islamic finance products. The importance of stress testing was indeed clearly underlined by the adverse developments in the global finance industry. One of the key takeaways was the need to strengthen the coverage of the capital framework. Cognisant of this fact, Basel III encapsulates provisions to enhance the financial sector's ability to withstand shocks arising from possible stress events, thereby reducing adverse spillovers into the real economy. Similarly, the Islamic Financial Services Board requires Islamic financial institutions to run stress tests as part of capital planning.

Assessing domestic debt sustainability of Turkey with a risk management approach
Tiftik, Mehmet Emre; Gaygısız Lajunen, Esma; Department of Economics (2006)
This thesis analyzes the debt dynamics of Turkey and assesses the sustainability of fisscal policy. The assessment of fiscal policy follows the methodology of Garcia and Rigobon (2004). This approach focuses on the concept of debt sustainability from a risk management perspective and incorporates the effects of stochastic shocks to the economy in its assessment. The results suggest that a continuation of the present fiscal stances will lead to a fiscal unsustainability in Turkey. Furthermore, the results in...
A Context-aware and workflow-based framework for pervasive environments
Avenoğlu, Bilgin; Eren, Pekin Erhan; Department of Information Systems (2014)
In this thesis study, a framework offering people help and guidance for organizing their daily activities is proposed. This framework allows users to model their daily activities in the form of workflows. Due to the dynamic nature of pervasive environments, workflows are enabled to be adaptable at runtime according to context information collected in pervasive environments. A workflow engine is used for modeling and management of workflows and a separate rule engine with Complex Event Processing (CEP) capab...
An Assessment of Explicit Inter- and Intra-sentential Discourse Connectives in Turkish Discourse Bank
Zeyrek Bozşahin, Deniz (null; 2018-05-07)
The paper offers a quantitative and qualitative analysis of explicit inter- and intra-sentential discourse connectives in Turkish Discourse Bank, or TDB version 1.1, a multi-genre resource of written Turkish manually annotated at the discourse level following the goals and principles of Penn Discourse TreeBank. TDB 1.1 is a 40K-word corpus involving all major discourse relation types (explicit discourse relations at intra- and inter-sentential positions, implicit discourse relations, alternative lexicalizat...
A survey on OR and mathematical methods applied on gene-environment networks
Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm; Kropat, Erik; Öztürk, Başak; Gorgulu, Zafer-Korcan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2009-09-01)
In this paper, we survey the recent advances and mathematical foundations of gene-environment networks. We explain their interdisciplinary implications with special regard to human and life sciences as well as financial sciences. Special attention is paid to applications in Operational Research and environmental protection. Originally developed in the context of modeling and prediction of gene-expression patterns, gene-environment networks have proved to provide a conceptual framework for the modeling of dy...
A computer-supported methodology for requirements modelling in CIM for small and medium size enterprises: A demonstration in Apparel Industry
Hashemipour, M; Anlagan, O; Kayaligil, S (1997-01-01)
This paper discusses the first phase of a computer-assisted methodology for implementing CIM within small and medium enterprises. Some of the existing methodologies and tools were furnished by extra items to ease the process for small and medium size manufacturing companies. The methodology aims at using limited expertise, limited staff, and minimising cost. The existing analysis tools (i.e. DFDs, ELH, and tools in the GRAI methodology) were modified and a new tool was developed (PIFR) to shed light on the ...
