Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 2Controlling Heterogeneous Structure of Smooth Breaks in Panel Unit Root and Cointegration Testing(Springer, 2023) Omay, Tolga; Iren, PerihanThis study aims to show the consequences of a restrictive homogeneity assumption of frequency in heterogeneous panel unit root and cointegration testing with Flexible Fourier Form. For this purpose, we use a simple panel unit root and residual based cointegration test with Flexible Fourier Form in a heterogeneous frequency setting using a bootstrap algorithm. The power of the test statistics and empirical analysis results indicate that failing to take into account a heterogeneous frequency may lead to misleading inferences, thereby leading to misspecified tests and erroneous conclusions concerning the stochastic behavior of the data in the panel sample.Master Thesis Küresel Likidite Koşullarının Borsa İstanbul Endekslerine Etkileri(2020) Altuntaş, Canan Özlem; Omay, TolgaKüreselleşme ve finansal serbestleşmenin bir sonucu olarak, bir ülkenin finansal piyasasında yaşanan bir değişiklik yerel bir etkiyle sınırlı kalmamakta, diğer finansal piyasalara da yayılmaktadır. Bu tez çalışmasında, küresel likidite koşullarının Borsa İstanbul üzerindeki etkilerinin analiz edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu kapsamda, 01.01.2010 – 31.03.2020 tarihleri arası BIST 100 endeksi log-getirileri ile VIX endeksinin günlük kapanış verileri, bir Çok Değişkenli GARCH model spesifikasyonu olan Sabit Koşullu Korelasyon GARCH (CCC-GARCH) yöntemi ve Gecikmesi Dağıtılmış Otoregresif (ARDL) model kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmada VIX endeksi, global likiditeyi temsilen vekil değişken olarak kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen ampirik sonuçlar, beklentilerle paralel olarak VIX ve BIST 100 endeksleri arasında negatif korelasyon olduğu, BIST 100 endeksinin küresel finansal piyasalarla tam entegre olduğu ve dolayısıyla küresel likidite koşullarında meydana gelen bir şokun BIST 100 endeksini de etkilediği yönündedir.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 4Is real per capita state personal income stationary? New nonlinear, asymmetric panel-data evidence(Wiley, 2020) Emirmahmutoglu, Furkan; Gupta, Rangan; Miller, Stephen M.; Omay, TolgaThis paper re-examines the stochastic properties of U.S. state real per capita personal income, using new panel unit-root procedures. The new developments incorporate non-linearity, asymmetry, and cross-sectional correlation within panel-data estimation. Including nonlinearity and asymmetry finds that 43 states exhibit stationary real per capita personal income whereas including only nonlinearity produces 42 states that exhibit stationarity. Stated differently, we find that two states exhibit nonstationary real per capita personal income when considering nonlinearity, asymmetry, and cross-sectional dependence.Article Citation - WoS: 11Testing the Hysteresis Effect in the Us State-Level Unemployment Series(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2020) Omay, Tolga; Ozcan, Burcu; Shahbaz, MuhammedThis paper re-examines the stochastic time series behaviour of the monthly unemployment rate in 50 states of the United States (US) for the period 1976-2017 using a number of state-of-the-art unit root tests. The new developments incorporate structural break, nonlinearity, asymmetry, and cross-sectional correlation within panel-data estimation including the use of a sequential panel selection method. While not previously considered, sequential panel selection enabled us to determine and separate the stationary and nonstationary series in the sample. The empirical findings are in support of the stationarity of unemployment rate in 47 states. The findings confirm a natural rate hypothesis for the labour markets in the most US states, indicating that labour market shocks have solely temporary effects on state-level unemployment. This empirical study provides significant state-specific policy implications.Article Hisse Senedi Getirileri, Bitcoin Getirileri ve Riskten Kaçınma Arasındaki İlişki: Çok Değişkenli Bir Garch Modelinden Kanıtlar(Sosyoekonomi Soc, 2021) Sivrikaya, Ayşen; İren, Perihan; Omay, TolgaBu çalışma, çok değişkenli bir GARCH modeli kullanarak ABD Dow Jones Borsasında işlem gören hisse senedi getirileri, Bitcoin getirileri ve bunların belirsizlikleri arasındaki ilişkileri araştırmaktadır. Özellikle, yüksek ve düşük olmak üzere farklı risk iştahının ve getirilerde belirsizliğin yüksek olduğu dönemlerde Bitcoin ve ABD hisse senedi getirilerinin verdiği tepkileri karşılaştırmaktadır. Sonuçlar, Bitcoin getirisinin riskten kaçınılan veya yüksek belirsizliğin olduğu dönemlerde hisse senedi gibi tepki verdiğini, ancak iki getiri arasındaki ilişkinin sürdürülebilir olmadığını göstermektedir. Öte yandan, ABD borsa yatırımcıları tüm örneklem dönemi boyunca riskten kaçınma davranışını gösterirken, Bitcoin yatırımcıları aynı davranışı göstermemektedir.Article Citation - WoS: 31Citation - Scopus: 35Fractional Unit-Root Tests Allowing for a Fractional Frequency Flexible Fourier Form Trend: Predictability of Covid-19(Springer, 2021) Omay, Tolga; Baleanu, DumitruIn this study we propose a fractional frequency flexible Fourier form fractionally integrated ADF unit-root test, which combines the fractional integration and nonlinear trend as a form of the Fourier function. We provide the asymptotics of the newly proposed test and investigate its small-sample properties. Moreover, we show the best estimators for both fractional frequency and fractional difference operator for our newly proposed test. Finally, an empirical study demonstrates that not considering the structural break and fractional integration simultaneously in the testing process may lead to misleading results about the stochastic behavior of the Covid-19 pandemic.Conference Object Citation - Scopus: 2Fiscal Sustainability From a Nonlinear Framework: Evidence From 14 European Countries(Springer Science and Business Media B.V., 2019) Hasdemir,E.; Omay,T.This study examines the fiscal sustainability of 14 European Union (EU) Member countries in the long run. For this purpose, a linear Augmented Dickey Fuller (ADF) and a variety of nonlinear univariate unit root tests are applied to the debt-to-GDP series of the 14 EU Member countries; Belgium, Czech Republic, Denmark, Finland, France, Greece, Hungary, Italy, Netherlands, Poland, Portugal, Romania, Slovakia and Sweden. In addition to that, the nonlinear unit root tests applied in this study are classified according to the source of nonlinearities: (i) time dependent nonlinearity (structural break(s)), (ii) state dependent nonlinearity and (iii) hybrid nonlinearity. Thus, the nonlinearities and their sources in data generating process of debt-to-GDP series of every country can be determined. The findings of this study show that the null of linear unit root cannot be rejected for none of the countries by applying linear ADF whereas it can be rejected as a result of nonlinear unit root tests for considerable number of countries, i.e. 11 out of 14 countries exhibit time dependent nonlinearity, 6 out of 14 exhibit state dependent nonlinearity and 10 out of 14 exhibit hybrid nonlinearity in their relevant data. So, the source of nonlinearities in the relevant data differs according to the country. That is, for testing the fiscal sustainability, the nonlinearities in the data need to be taken into account. Ignoring the nonlinearities in the testing procedure can lead misleading results in the decision of fiscal sustainability in the long run. © 2019, Springer Nature Switzerland AG.Article A Computationally Efficient Approximation for Fractional Differencing: First-Order Operators(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2026) Omay, Tolga; Baleanu, DumitruThis paper introduces the First-Order Fractional Differencing (FOFD) operator that substantially reduces the computational burden of fractional differencing for large-scale applications. While the standard Gr & uuml;nwald-Letnikov (GL) operator requires O(T2) operations for a series of length T, and recent FFT-based methods achieve O(T log T), our FOFD operator requires only O(T) operations through a simple two-point recursion. We develop an optimal weight calibration framework that ensures this computational efficiency does not compromise statistical accuracy, deriving a general formula wopt = d & sdot; (1-0.9 rho)beta(p) that adapts to the persistence structure of autoregressive processes. Empirical applications demonstrate substantial improvements: for the Chicago Fed National Financial Conditions Index with extreme persistence (rho= 0.992), optimal weight calibration reduces approximation error by 93% while preserving the autocorrelation structure of the GL operator. For a series of 10,000 observations, our method requires 20,000 operations compared to 530,000 for FFT-based methods and 50 million for standard implementations-enabling fractional differencing in real-time and high-frequency contexts previously infeasible due to computational constraints. The method's simplicity, requiring no specialized libraries and providing direct implementation through our calibration formula, makes it immediately accessible to practitioners while maintaining the long-memory properties essential for financial time series modeling.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 11Comparison of Optimization Algorithms for Selecting the Fractional Frequency in Fourier Form Unit Root Tests(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2021) Omay, Tolga; Emirmahmutoglu, Furkan; Hussain Shahzad, Syed JawadWe compare the performance of unit root tests which include flexible Fourier trends in their testing processes. The algorithms considered are those of Broyden, Fletcher, Goldfarb and Shanno (BFGS), Berndt, Hall, Hall and Hausman (BHHH), Simplex, Genetic and grid search (GS). The simulation results indicate that derivative-free methods, such as Genetic and Simplex, have advantages over hill-climbing methods, such as BFGS and BHHH in providing accurate fractional frequencies for fractional frequency flexible Fourier form (FFFFF) unit root test. When the parameters are estimated under the alternative hypothesis of the FFFFF type of unit root test, the grid search and derivative-free methods provide unbiased and efficient estimations. We also provide the asymptotic distribution of the FFFFF unit root test. We extend the FFFFF unit root test to a panel version in order to increase the power of the test. Finally, the empirical analyses of healthcare convergence show that derivative-free methods, hill climbing and extensive grid searches can be used interchangeably. However, for big data and accurate estimation of the frequency parameters, the Simplex methodology using the bootstrap process is preferred.Article Citation - WoS: 7Citation - Scopus: 6Oil and Stock Prices: New Evidence From a Time Varying Homogenous Panel Smooth Transitionvecmfor Seven Developing Countries(Wiley, 2022) Ceylan, Resat; Ivrendi, Mehmet; Shahbaz, Muhammed; Omay, TolgaThis paper investigates the relationship between international oil price and stock prices applying the time varying causality testing over the period of 2000(M1)-2017(M3). The panel unit root and panel cointegration tests considering cross-section dependence are also employed. A time varying panel smooth transition vector error correction (TV-PSTRVEC) model is a developed and estimated for testing the presence of non-linear short-run and long-run causality, and cointegrating relationship between stock and oil prices. The empirical findings indicate that short and long-run causalities between oil price and stock prices are time-dependent. Moreover, oil price cause stock prices in the long-run. In the short-run, neutral effect exists between oil price and stock prices. These two findings are evidence of a strong exogeneity of oil price in time-dependent regimes which is also supporting the recent arguments and empirical findings.
