In order to avoid destructive results of financial bubbles that affect the entire economy, it is important to develop an early-warning signaling. By using optimization-supported tools, we introduce a new method for an early-warning signaling, which approaches the bubble concept geometrically by determining and evaluating ellipsoids. We generate a volume-based index via minimum-volume covering ellipsoid clustering method, and to visualize these ellipsoids, we utilize Radon transform from the theory of the Inverse Problems. The analyses were conducted for US, Japan and China stock markets, also fitted and simulated data were used to observe the performance of our method. For all real, fitted and simulated data, we have found that when the bubble-burst time approaches, the volumes of the ellipsoids gradually decrease and, correspondingly, the figures obtained by Radon transform become more brilliant, i.e., more strongly warning.

Early warning on stock market bubbles via methods of optimization, clustering and inverse problems Kurum, Efsun; Weber, Gerhard-Wilhelm; İyigün, Cem (2018-01-01) In order to avoid destructive results of financial bubbles which affect the entire economy, it is important to develop an early-warning signalling. By using optimization-supported tools, we introduce a new method for an early-warning signalling which approaches the bubble concept geometrically by determining and evaluating ellipsoids. We generate a volume-based index via minimum-volume covering ellipsoid clustering method, and to visualize these ellipsoids, we utilize Radon transform from the theory of the ...
A quantitative analysis of cost-push shocks and optimal inflation volatility Senay, Ozge; Sutherland, Alan (Informa UK Limited, 2008-01-01) This article presents a quantitative analysis of optimal inflation volatility in a simple sticky-price general equilibrium model subject to both supply and cost-push shocks. It is found that optimal policy implies a relatively small degree of inflation volatility even when cost-push shocks are the dominant source of economic disturbance. In addition, it is found that optimal policy generates only a very small welfare gain when compared to strict inflation targeting.
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 illiquidity premium and bid-ask prices of the financial securities Karimov, Azar; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm; Teker, Suat; Department of Financial Mathematics (2016) When a financial bubble bursts, this affects the entire economy. Therefore, it is important to recognize bubbles as early as possible. In this thesis, we introduce a new approach to identify stock market bubbles by using illiquidity premium derived by employing Conic Finance theory. This theory is connected with liquidity effects and risk behavior of money markets. In financial markets, liquidity is an important quantity since it mirrors the asset's capability to be bought or sold without a significant chan...
An Analysis of momentum and mean reversion effects on equity indices Özbilge, Armağan; Yolcu Okur, Yeliz; Nazlıben, Kamil Korhan; Department of Financial Mathematics (2015) Momentum and mean-reversion effects have become very popular in finance literature for the last two decades since their presence can generate abnormal profit patterns by applying either relative strength or contrarian trading strategy accordingly. Even though there are some common factor explanations for return reversals, they might not provide the full picture for return persistence. In our theoretical framework, we analyse some of the well-known discrete time momentum studies including the initial one and...
