The self-excitability and price clustering properties of the cryptocurrency market are studied to investigate the main sources of volatility, in particular, the reflexivity or the endogeneity issues. We apply our kernel estimation of the spectrum localized both in time and frequency to data sets of transaction times, revealing pertinent features in the data that had not been made visible by classical non-localized approaches based on models with constant fertility functions over time. We apply the empirical analysis to the three largest crypto assets, i.e. Bitcoin - Ethereum - Ripple, and provide a comparison with other financial assets such as SP500, Gold, and the volatility index VIX observed from January 2018 to December 2020. The results show high levels of endogeneity in the basket of cryptocurrencies under investigation, underlining the evidence of a significant role of endogenous feedback mechanisms in the price formation process. We also demonstrate that the level of the endogeneity of markets, quantified by the branching ratio of the Hawkes process, is overestimated if the time variation is not considered.

Reflexivity Analysis of Digital Currencies with a Semiparametric Hawkes Process Atak Atalık, Alev (2021-06-25) The self-excitability and price clustering properties of the cryptocurrency market are studied to investigate the main sources of volatility, in particular, the reflexivity or the endogeneity issues. We apply our kernel estimation of the spectrum localized both in time and frequency to data sets of transaction times, revealing pertinent features in the data that had not been made visible by classical non-localized approaches based on models with constant fertility functions over time. We apply the empirical...
Computation of Malliavin Greeks in Hybrid StochasticVolatility Models Yılmaz, Bilgi; Yolcu Okur, Yeliz (2015-05-16) Contrary to Black-Scholes model in stochastic volatility models, the stock price’s volatility assumed to be a stochastic process and the Brownian motions of volatility and stock price process are correlated with each other. Moreover, in some models, called hybrid stochastic volatility models, the interest rate also assumed to be a stochastic process. Because of the stochastic volatility, stochastic interest rate and correlated Brownian motions, a closed form solution for the Greeks of the options usually do...
Algorithmic trading strategies using dynamic mode decomposition: applied to Turkish stock market Savaş, Mehmet Can; Yolcu Okur, Yeliz; Karasözen, Bülent; Department of Financial Mathematics (2017) Algorithmic trading schemes are growing of importance in modern ﬁnancial world. Each year, increasing proportion of the total trading volume is handled by algorithmic trading systems and they have become a fundamental element of modern day trading. We demonstrate the application of an algorithmic trading strategy using dynamic mode decomposition and genetic algorithm. The dynamic mode decomposition is a data analysis tool which is capable of characterizing the dynamical systems in an equation free manner by...
Volatility indexes and an implementation of the Turkish BIST 30 index Karakurt, Caner; Uğur, Ömür; Department of Financial Mathematics (2018) In 1993, by representing of CBOE Vix, global financial markets met volatility indexes. In 2003, methodology of the CBOE Vix is updated and it took the form which used today. Day after day, volatility indexes have attracted more and more investors and financial institutions, and soon volatility indexes have succeeded in becoming one of the most followed financial indicators. Following these developments, many countries have introduced their implied volatility indexes by using CBOE Vix methodology or its vari...
Modelling and implementation of local volatility surfaces Animoku, Abdulwahab; Yolcu Okur, Yeliz; Uğur, Ömür; Department of Financial Mathematics (2014) In this thesis, Dupire local volatility model is studied in details as a means of modeling the volatility structure of a financial asset. In this respect, several forms of local volatility equations have been derived: Dupire's local volatility, local volatility as conditional expectation, and local volatility as a function of implied volatility. We have proven the main results of local volatility model discussed in the literature in details. In addition, we have also proven the local volatility model under ...
