Can law impose competition? A critical discussion and evidence from the Turkish electricity generation market
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2014)Electricity markets have undergone regulatory reforms since the early 1980s around the world. Technical analyses of these reforms usually pay lip service to the influence of politics over regulatory processes. Existing studies examine certain aspects of the market such as demand pricing and efficiency and they touch upon political issues only passingly when economic models cannot provide sufficient explanation This approach problematically takes politics as an ad hoc variable. This study shows ...

Energy consumption and income in Chinese provinces: heterogeneous panel causality analysis
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Elsevier Science, 2012)Recently energy production in China fell behind energy consumption. This poses important challenges for the rapidly growing Chinese economy. As a consequence the causal relationship between energy consumption and GDP is an important empirical issue. This paper examines Granger causality between energy consumption and GDP in China using province-level data. The current paper extends the Granger causality analysis employed in previous studies by taking into account panel heterogeneity. Specifically ...

Energy consumption-GDP nexus: heterogeneous panel causality analysis
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Elsevier Science Bv, 2012)Existing studies examining the Granger causality relationship between energy consumption and GDP use a panel of countries but implicitly assume that the panels are homogeneous. This paper extends the Granger causality relationship between energy consumption and GDP by taking into account panel heterogeneity. For this purpose we use a large panel of 79 countries for the period 1980-2007. Specifically we examine four different causal relationships: homogeneous non-causality homogeneous causality ...

The Relation Between Worldviews and Intergenerational Altruism In Turkey: an Empirical Approach
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Univ Babes-Bolyai, 2016)Intergenerational altruism is an important area of research to understand the impact of culture on economic outcomes. We hypothesize based on recent research about intergenerational altruism and tough love model that worldviews religious beliefs and people's confidence about their worldviews affect intergenerational altruistic economic behaviour. We extend the research on the impact of worldviews on intergenerational altruism by focusing on Turkey. In the empirical analysis we run probit regressions ...

Toward a wider market definition in broadband: The case of Turkey
Authors:
Publisher and Date:(Elsevier Science, 2015)As broadband Internet transforms the way people connect with others the boundaries between different modes of communications become vague. In recent years the scope of voice and broadband markets has become a matter of concern for both policymakers and researchers. Until recently it was thought that DSL and mobile broadband markets were separate markets and therefore they were separately regulated. However recent empirical evidence in some countries shows that fixed and mobile broadband services ...
