This study investigates the role of risk perception in the online shopping context. The effects of degree of consumer digitalization, product involvement, consumer innovativeness, price sensitivity, and level of internet use on twelve different perceived risk dimensions- financial risk, economic risk, performance risk, product risk, time risk, privacy risk, security risk, social risk, psychological risk, after-sale risk, delivery risk, and transaction risk- are explored based on a multicultural sample of respondents. For this purpose, primary data was collected through a questionnaire from the sample as a quantitative data collection method. Findings from the study are in line with previous research in terms of observed effects of price sensitivity, level of internet use, and consumer innovativeness, whereas contradictory results are obtained regarding the roles of consumer digitalization and product involvement factors. Theoretical and managerial implications and findings are discussed.

THE POTENTIAL IMPACT OF RECOMMENDATION SYSTEMS IN ECOMMERCE ON CONSUMER BEHAVIOR
MADEN BİLGİÇ, BURCU; Oran, Adil; Department of Business Administration (2022-12-23)
This research aims to investigate the potential impact of recommendation systems on consumers' different perceptions, such as perceived value, privacy concern, confidence in decision, and purchase intention. As recommendation systems, five different filtering techniques were analyzed; content-based filtering, item-based and user-based collaborative filtering, and friend-based and influenced-based social recommendation systems. To test hypotheses proposed, survey data were collected from 743 consumers in gen...
Understanding consumer innovativeness via theory of goal directed behavior: an investigation of factors affecting adoption of online games
Baybaş, Gülnur; Yılmaz, Cengiz; Department of Business Administration (2015)
This study aims to analyze the factors behind adoption of online games, using a theoretical foundation based mostly on the theory of goal-directed behavior and diffusion of innovations model. Factors affecting the adoption behavior are determined on the basis of the goal directed behavior theory, and differences between adopter categories of online game buyers are investigated by applying Rogers’ diffusion of innovations (DOI) theory. Online survey was conducted to reach target group by using social media a...
The relationship between regulatory focus and trust: The roles of regulatory closure and propensity to trust
Emirza, Sevgi; Karagonlar, Gökhan (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2020-6)
Drawing on regulatory focus theory and regulatory closure argument, this study argues that self-regulation mechanisms influence trust among people during anonymous interactions. Prevention focus is generally associated with risk aversion and quest for security and hence expected to induce less trust compared to promotion focus. We proposed and tested the hypothesis that the effect of regulatory focus on trust is moderated by regulatory closure (presence or absence of goal fulfillment). In support of th...
The effect of medical care on health capital
Koç, Şevket Alper; Koç, Çağatay (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2018-8)
This paper analyzes the effect of medical care on the stock of health capital by estimating the health investment production function. An ordered probit model for the stock of health with instrumental variables is estimated using the Two-Stage Residual Inclusion method. We argue that risk tolerance and the opportunity cost of time are suitable instruments for the change in medical care consumption. In contrast to majority of the empirical work, which does not uncover that medical care has a positive ef...
Modeling fx options in presence of stochastic volatility with overnight-indexed-swap-discounting
Tekten, Selin; Uğur, Ömür; Department of Financial Mathematics (2019)
This study investigates the time contingent behavior of risk factor USDTRY. Option pricing models Black-Scholes and Heston has been utilized to estimate the behavior. The adjusted Black-Sholes model is the current market practice to model USDTRY risk factor. Market practitioners do not prefer to use constant volatility in the Black-Scholes Model, which violates the model assumption. They instead interpolate the volatility surface from market data of implied volatilities and use them in Black-Scholes Model. ...
