Interest rates underpin almost every instrument/transaction in conventional financial markets. Valuation of the instruments in relation to interest rates remains meaningful only ifcashcan be attributed a worth of its own (which is generally assumed to accumulate over time). The relevant concepts such as the stochastic short rate and the conventional numeraire (i.e. the money market account) not only become restrictive when one attempts to build more realistic models in quantitative finance, but also - as we demonstrate in this work - their application has de-stabilizing effects on asset valuations. This paper presents a detailed critique of the conventional numeraire and proposes an asset-backed stable numeraire for sustainable valuation of assets and/or transactions. In particular, we demonstrate how some of the key benchmarks of a sustainable footprint may be used as a numeraire currency. We also unveil the implicit assumption underlying the common practice of straightforward factorization in conventional relative pricing to be false.

Term structure of government bond yields : a macro-finance approach Artam, Halil; Yıldırak, Şahap Kasırga; Department of Financial Mathematics (2006) Interactions between macroeconomic fundamentals and term structure of interest rates be stronger according to the way of changes in structure of worldwide economy. Combined macro-finance analysis determines the joint dynamics of term structure of interest rates and macroeconomic fundamentals. This thesis provides analysis of two existing macro-finance models and an original one. Parameter estimations for these three macro-finance term structure models are done for monthly Turkish data by use of an efficient...
EXAMINATION OF BOND RISK PREMIA FROM THE BANKING PERSPECTIVE Orhan, Selim; Danışoğlu, Seza; Department of Financial Mathematics (2022-5-10) Banks are considered as the marginal and sophisticated investors of financial markets. This is evident in the Haddad and Sraer (2020) study that examines the US government bond excess returns. This study extends the Haddad/Sraer analysis to the Turkish government bond market. According to the forecasting results, exposure ratio provides explanatory power over bond excess returns, especially for longer maturities. On the other hand, output gap and industrial growth present strong in-sample forecasting power ...
Monetary Policy in The General Theory Ekinci, Nazım Kadri (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2008-6) The theory of interest rate is central to Keynesian macroeconomics. This paper provides an interpretation of Keynes’ conventional theory of the interest rate. Accordingly, the interest rate can only be determined in the market, if expectations converge. The central bank is a market-maker, because of its capacity to manage expectations and to affect market outcomes. On the other hand, interest rate and asset prices determine the rate at which wealth is converted into income. This may be a crucial considerati...
Default risk of wage-indexed payment mortgage in Turkey Erol, Işıl; Patel, K (2005-09-01) This paper analyses default risk of wage-indexed payment mortgage (WIPM) in Turkey in comparison with other standard mortgage contracts originated in high inflationary economies. Emlak Bank launched WIPM linked to Civil Service employees' wage (CSW) index during high inflationary period of late 1990s. Concurrently, the government introduced a policy linking CSW index to semi-annual expected rate of inflation in an attempt to facilitate housing finance for the fastest growing sector of the population. We fin...
Credit Risk Market and the Recent Loan Profile in the Turkish Banking Sector Özdemir, Özlem (2009-05-01) Very little research has been done on the financial stability implications of credit risk transfer markets. In particular there is a paucity of work considering the interactions between the various credit risk transfer markets or instruments. Regarding credit derivatives, the small number of existing studies can be explained by a lack of quantitative data and by the brief history of the market" (Kiff et al., 2002, page 2). This paper tries to explain the development of credit risk transfer instruments and h...
