The common and uncommon political economies of water and oil ‘wars’

(Taylor & Francis Inc., 1996)We describe an experimental approach toward implementing a commonsense "microtheory" for buying and selling. Our prototype system characterizes how intelligent agents hold items and money, how they buy and sell items, and ... -
Discrete-time pricing and optimal exercise of American perpetual warrants in the geometric random walk model
(2013)An American option (or, warrant) is the right, but not the obligation, to purchase or sell an underlying equity at any time up to a predetermined expiration date for a predetermined amount. A perpetual American option ... -
Effects of growth volatility on economic performance-empirical evidence from Turkey

Effects of monetary policy on the long memory in interest rates: Evidence from an emerging market
(Elsevier, 2013)We study the presence of long memory in a variety of interest rates in Turkey by time-varying generalized Hurst exponent. We reveal that adopting inflation targeting cause a sudden and considerable decrease in the long ... -
Efficiency of the Turkish stock exchange with respect to monetary variables: a cointegration analysis
(Elsevier BV, 1996)In this study, we test the semistrong form of the efficient market hypothesis in Turkey by using the recently developed techniques in time series econometrics, namely unit roots and cointegration. The long run relationship ... -
An Elasticity Approach to the Newsvendor with Price Sensitive Demand
(INFORMS, 2011-04)We introduce a measure of elasticity of stochastic demand, called the elasticity of the lost-sales rate, which offers a unifying perspective on the well-known newsvendor with pricing problem. This new concept provides a ... -
Environment Kuznets curve for CO2 emissions: a cointegration analysis for China

Environmental impacts of coal subsidies in Turkey: a general equilibrium analysis

Free parking for all in shopping malls

Investments viewed as growth processes
(Taylor & Francis, 1995)For modeling investment decision situations, we present a mathematical basis that views the cash flow sequences as growth processes. We first emphasize the pedagogical value of the basic model by showing that all traditionally ... -

Non-linear pricing by convex duality
(Elsevier, 2015)We consider the pricing problem of a risk-neutral monopolist who produces (at a cost) and offers an infinitely divisible good to a single potential buyer that can be of a finite number of (single dimensional) types. The ... -
On multi-dimensional and noisy quadratic signaling games and affine equilibria
(Institute of Electrical and Electronics Engineers Inc., 2015)This study investigates extensions of the quadratic cheap talk and signaling game problem, which has been introduced in the economics literature. Two main contributions of this study are the extension of Crawford and Sobel's ... -
Pricing and revenue management: the value of coordination
(INFORMS Inst.for Operations Res.and the Management Sciences, 2014)The integration of systems for pricing and revenue management must trade off potential revenue gains against significant practical and technical challenges. This dilemma motivates us to investigate the value of coordinating ... -
