VIX (Chicago Boards Options Exchange Volatility Index) and unexpected interest rate change are used in the model. It is found that when the exchange rate risk is below a threshold level, exchange rate is sensitive to both unexpected interest rate change and VIX. On the other hand, when the exchange rate risk is high, it becomes insensitive to unexpected interest rate change and significantly more sensitive to VIXviii, 42 leavesEnglishinfo:eu-repo/semantics/openAccessVIXnonlinearunexpected interest rate changeHG3968.25 .F39 2009Foreign exchange rates--Turkey--Mathematical models.Interest rates--Turkey.Exchange rates--Turkey--Mathematical models.Thesis
