Fiscal policy in resource-rich economies, particularly with low institutional quality, faces some major challenges since their government expenditures depend on volatile resource income. Most of them have set up natural resource funds (NRFs) to clear away this dependency; however, the effectiveness of these funds is still under debate. Besides, large government expenditures financed by transfers from the funds are not sustainable and can entail serious risk for these economies. Hence, it is essential to investigate the effects of NRFs and determine the optimal resource windfalls allocation rule for resource-rich countries. The dissertation consists of two essays. The first essay investigates the effects of resource funds and the roles of institutional quality in mitigating fiscal procyclicality in 32 oil-rich economies from 1984 to 2015 using dynamic common correlated effect (DCCE) panel estimation techniques. It is found that NRFs can contribute to mitigate procyclicality of fiscal policy in economics which have high institutional quality. In the second essay, Dynamic Stochastic General Equilibrium (DSGE) model was applied to Azerbaijan to examine the macroeconomic effects of temporary resource production and price shocks and the optimal spending and saving of resource revenues. The result shows that full spending of resource revenues leads to the Dutch disease effect. By contrast, this effect is mitigated by saving all these revenues. It is also found that if the policy maker is equally concerned with fiscal stability and household welfare, at least 41 percent of resource revenue should be saved.

The sustainability analysis of Turkish domestic debt
Alkan, Feyza; Öcal, Nadir; Department of Economics (2009)
In this thesis, sustainability of the Turkish domestic debt is analyzed within the “sustainability indicators” perspective. The fiscal targets of Maastricht Treaty (1992) are imposed on the Turkish fiscal policy and it is investigated whether these targets are the indicators for sustainability in the medium term. Uctum and Wickens’ (2000) methodology is followed in assessing the sustainability of the current fiscal policy and the efficiency of the Maastricht Treaty (1992) targets. Moreover, the vector auto ...
An Empirical study on fuzzy C-means clustering for Turkish banking system
Altınel, Fatih; Gaygısız Lajunen, Esma; Department of Economics (2012)
Banking sector is very sensitive to macroeconomic and political instabilities and they are prone to crises. Since banks are integrated with almost all of the economic agents and with other banks, these crises affect entire societies. Therefore, classification or rating of banks with respect to their credibility becomes important. In this study we examine different models for classification of banks. Choosing one of those models, fuzzy c-means clustering, banks are grouped into clusters using 48 different ra...
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 ...
An Investigation on the nature of the idiosyncratic risk of stock portfolios
Kocaarslan, Barış; Soytaş, Uğur; Department of Business Administration (2018)
In this study, based on sound economic theories, two economic transmission channels are identified to investigate the impacts of changes in funding liquidity conditions in interbank loan markets and the reserve currency (US dollar) value on the idiosyncratic portfolio-level risks. Controlling for business cycles, we find that a deterioration in funding liquidity conditions increases the idiosyncratic risk of high-risk portfolios more than that of less risky portfolios. This increase is stronger when the idi...
Optimization models for public debt management
Alver, Mustafa Uğur; Çağlar, Güven; Department of Industrial Engineering (2009)
Management of public debt is crucial for every country. Public debt managers make efforts to both minimize the cost of borrowing and to keep debt stock at sustainable levels. However, due to competition for funds in the continuously changing and developing financial markets, new threats and opportunities appear constantly. Public debt managers construct borrowing policies in order to minimize the cost of borrowing and also to decrease risk by using various borrowing instruments. This thesis presents a mathe...
