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...
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...
Frequency domain approach and short run and long run causality test: Evidence from Turkey for interest rate and exchange rate relationship Tarı, Recep; Abasız, Tezcan (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2009-12-1) Relationship between short term nominal interest rates and nominal exchange rates that the Central Bank in Turkey used as a means of monetary policy tool during the period of 1987:1-2008:1 was analysed by using frequency domain approach within the framework of spectral analysis. According to the findings, the causal relationship from the exchange rate to the interest rate was valid only for the short run, whereas this relationship was effective for totally 45 months before, during and after the crisis. The ...
Option pricing in interest rate derivatives Küçüksaraç, Doruk; Danışoğlu, Seza; Department of Financial Mathematics (2020) The valuation of interest rate derivatives and embedded options in fixed-income securities is crucial for market practitioners. Although there have been many models to price interest rate derivatives, the inconsistency across the assumptions of the models creates difficulty in aggregating interest rate exposures. Besides, the models tend to be applicable to specific cases. In this regard, adaptation of a general methodology to price all interest rate derivatives without making additional assumptions has cri...
Modeling correlation structure for collateralized debt obligations and determining the underlying credit default swap spread equations İlalan, Deniz; Hayfavi, Azize; Omay, Tolga; Department of Financial Mathematics (2015) Pricing complex financial derivatives such as collateralized debt obligations (CDOs) is considered as the main reason triggering the 2008 financial crisis. The correlation structure related to the credit risks involved in a portfolio for pricing issues have been tried to overcome via a Gaussian copula framework first introduced by David Li. This approach regards the correlation among the credit risks as normally distributed, enabling us to derive analytical solutions. However, despite its simplicity, this G...
