In the aftermath of the 2001 crisis, a steady growth pattern was sustained, inflation rates were reduced to single-digit levels and a remarkable improvement in interest rates was realized in Turkey. Despite these positive developments, the Turkish economy has experienced two cyclical downturns in this period. The first one was due to the global financial crisis, which spans the period 2008-Q2 and 2009-Q1, while the second one took place between 2018-Q3 and 2018-Q4 when strong and abruptly depreciation in Turkish Lira and high country’s risk premium existed. Although the depth and duration of the latter downturn were shorter than the former, both periods had major repercussions on the labor market. In this thesis, we examine the business cycle conditions and estimate the non-accelerating inflation rate of unemployment (NAIRU) in both episodes by using univariate and multivariate detrending methods. Although univariate filters give confusing results, multivariate filter results are fairly reasonable. Though estimate of the slack in the output is smaller in the recent period, the unemployment rate and NAIRU increase sharply and reach the highest levels historically in both periods. Due to weaker foreign demand and composition of industrial sector products, slack in capacity utilization rate is higher in the global financial crisis. As a result, the labor market has been the most affected by these turmoil negatively

The Swap Lines Then and Now: Repositioning the United States and the Federal Reserve in Global Monetary Relations
Pehlivan, Cemile; Bedirhanoğlu Toker, Pınar; Department of International Relations (2022-9-30)
The use of swap lines during and after the global financial crisis of 2008 has attracted a lot of attention as it seemingly put the US Federal Reserve into the position of an international lender of last resort. This thesis questions the validity of this argument critically by problematizing the uses of central bank swap lines in different historical conjunctures. Elaborating on the changes and continuities of US monetary policy via Fed’s swap lines strategies within global capitalism, the thesis investigat...
The Impact of Macro-Economic Drivers in Housing Markets: The US Cas
Yılmaz, Bilgi; Yerlikaya Özkurt, Fatma; Kestel, Sevtap Ayşe (2021-08-01)
This paper analyzes the effect of macro-economic, financial and commodity market indicators on housing markets. We compare the efficiency of the models generated by Generalized Linear Models (GLM) and Multivariate Adaptive Regression Splines (MARS) according to method free measures for estimating the housing market trend. These models are used for the first time to identify the influence of macro-economic indicators on housing markets and the estimation of the trend in housing markets to our best knowledge....
A market model for pricing inflation indexed bonds with jumps incorporation
Güney, İbrahim Ethem; Hayfavi, Azize; Department of Financial Mathematics (2008)
Protection against inflation is an essential part of the today's financial markets, particularly in high-inflation economies. Hence, nowadays inflation indexed instruments are being increasingly popular in the world financial markets. In this thesis, we focus on pricing of the inflation-indexed bonds which are the unique inflation-indexed instruments traded in the Turkish bond market. Firstly, we review the Jarrow-Yildirim model which deals with pricing of the inflation-indexed instruments within the HJM fr...
Modeling of exchange rates by multivariate adaptive regression splines and comparison with classical statistical methods
Köksal, Ece; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm; Department of Financial Mathematics (2017)
Economic factors like inflation, interest rates and exchange rates are among the leading indicators of a country’s relative level of economic health. With the help of technological improvements and global requirements, trading volume and a wide range of commerce network, exchange rates play a vital role in economics and finance since a higher exchange rate may result in a lower trade balance of a country, whereas a lower rate may cause an increase. Inflation, interest rates, domestic money supply growth, a ...
The Relationship Between Energy Commodity Prices and Electricity and Market Index Performances: Evidence from an Emerging Market
Ordu, Beyza Mina; Soytaş, Uğur (2016-01-01)
We investigate the effect of energy commodity price movements on market and electricity index returns in Turkey for the periods before, during, and after the year 2008. Although the Turkish economy is highly reliant on oil, we find that oil price does not lead either electricity or market indexes. This might be attributable to sluggish integration of financial markets in Turkey compared to developed markets. Natural gas price leads electricity index in the pre-2008 period. Its significance is reduced follow...
