2000’li Yıllarda Yapısal Dönüşüm ve Emeğin Durumu
(DİSK Birleşik Metal-İş, 2019) Orhangazi, Özgür
Türkiye ekonomisi 2000’li yıllarda büyük bir yapısal dönüşüm yaşamış ve tarımın milli gelir ve istihdam içerisindeki payı hızlı bir biçimde düşmüştür. Bu süreçte proleterleşme artmış ve Türkiye giderek daha fazla bir ‘ücretliler toplumu’ haline gelmiştir. Ne var ki ekonominin ve özellikle sanayi sektörünün istihdam yaratma kapasitesi görece düşük kalmıştır. Bunun sonucu yüksek işsizlik oranları ve düşük işgücüne katılma oranları olarak karşımıza çıkmaktadır. Dış sermaye girişlerine bağımlı, borç artışına dayanan, inşaat odaklı bir büyüme modelinin hakim olduğu ve uygun istihdam ve sanayi politikalarının geliştiril(e)mediği bu dönemde istihdam ağırlıklı olarak üretkenliği düşük hizmetler sektöründe yoğunlaşmıştır. İşgücü piyasalarının temel özellikleri olarak işsizlik oranlarının yüksek olması, yedek işgücü ordusunun genişliği ile sendikalaşma ve toplu iş sözleşmesi oranlarının oldukça düşük olması öne çıkmıştır. Aynı zamanda işgücü piyasaları giderek güvencesizleştirilerek taşeronlaşma ve esnek istihdam biçimleri yaygınlaştırılmaya çalışmıştır. Bu dönemde yine de reel ücretlerde belirli bir yükselme gözlemlense de bu, verimlik artışının ve dolayısıyla GSYH artışının gerisinde kalmıştır.

An Applied Analysis for whether the Relation between Innovation and Foreign Direct Investment is Vicious for Turkey after the early 1980s
(Elsevier Science Bv, 2016) Doruk, Ömer Tuğsal
The relation between innovation and foreign direct investment (FDI) is investigated in this paper by using time series Vector Autoregression (VAR) method. The main research question of the paper is whether FDI contributes on development of innovation in Turkey or vice versa. In Turkey after the structural transformations in Turkish economy export led growth is taken as vein that feeds to the economic development and thus importance of foreign direct investments have been increasing in the post-1980 period. The obtained findings show that FDI has not been contributing to innovation

Bankaların operasyonel risk yönetimi olgunluk seviyelerinin oryos endeksi ile ölçülmesi ve Basel II kriterlerine göre sermaye yeterlilik oranının hesaplanmasında bir değişken olarak kullanılması
(Marmara Üniversitesi, Sos. Bil. Enst., 2012) Aykın, Hasan
Bu çalışmada, finansal kurumlarca önemi son yıllarda daha iyi anlaşılan ve gittikçe daha da artan operasyonel riskin yönetimi ele alınmış olup, sayısallaştırılması diğer riskler gibi kolay olmayan bu riskler için olgunluk modeli kullanılarak bankalar için “Operasyonel Risk Yönetimi Olgunluk Seviyesi” (ORYOS) endeksi hesaplanmıştır. Çalışmanın amacı iki noktada toplanmaktadır; bunlardan ilki, hesaplanan bu endeksle bankaların hem kendi hem de sektördeki seviyelerini daha iyi görebilmeleri, eksik noktalarını tespit edip kendilerine hedefler belirleyebilmeleridir. İkinci amaç ise bu endekse bağlı olarak belirlenecek “ORYOS Sermaye Yükümlülük Çarpanı” ile bankaların sermaye yeterlilik standart oranının hesabında bir düzeltme katsayısı olarak bankanın operasyonel risk yönetimi olgunluk seviyesinin dikkate alınmasını sağlayarak temel gösterge, standart yaklaşım ve alternatif standart yaklaşım kullanılarak yapılan sermaye yeterlilik hesabında daha gerçekçi bir ölçüm ortaya koymaktır.

(Cahit AYDEMİR, 2010) Keskin, Ayşe İrem; Güler, Fazıl; Ceylan, Cengiz; Kızıl, Cevdet; Keskin, Ayşe İrem; Buget, Püren
The primary objective of this paper is to determine whether the present managers of Turkish tourism sector perform their jobs in accordance with their qualifications. For this purpose, questionnaires were distributed to managers and responses were evaluated. The secondary purpose of this study is to identify if employees in tourism industry has the required qualifications. Also, if the sector has low efficiency, reasons are investigated. This study uses the survey method. Questionnaires were distributed to 222 managers in the tourism sector, who mainly work in Istanbul and Izmir. 183 managers in accommodation enterprises, 22 managers in travel agencies and 17 managers in food and beverage companies were interviewed face-to-face and questionnaire forms were filled. The survey includes 52 questions that collect information about managers and their organizations. The questionnaires should also test if the managers are in a fitting position and they use their authority properly.

Converse Tournaments
(Ege Univ Fac Economics & Admin Sciences, 2019) Keskin, Kerim
This paper proposes two alternatives to Clark and Riis (1998b)'s sequential model of nested multiple-prize contests. First we consider winning prizes endogenously determined by exerted contest efforts. Second we extend the model to infinitehorizon. We characterize the unique subgame perfect Nash equilibrium in both models and compare the equilibrium strategies with those in the original model.

Dependence on imported inputs and implications for technology transfer in Turkey
(Springer New York, 2012) Akkemik, K. Ali
Trade and macroeconomic policies in Turkey evolved from import substitution to export promotion and liberalization of commodity and capital markets after 1980. During the 1980s and 1990s Turkey’s exports and imports and their shares in GDP demonstrated an increasing trend. The share of exports in GDP increased from 4.2% in 1980 to 20.3% in 2005 and that of imports rose from 11.4 to 32.2%. Import liberalization was accomplished during the second half of the 1990s and at around the same time direct price support for exports was abolished. © Springer Science+Business Media LLC 2012.

An econometric analysis of imported timber demand in Turkey
(WFL PUBL, 2013) Kayacan, Bekir; Kara, Oğuz; Ucal, Meltem Şengün; Öztürk, Atakan; Bali, Ramazan; Koçer, Sacit; Kaplan, Erdem
This paper attempts to understand and explain determinants of Turkish demand for foreign timber imported to Turkey. Explanatory variables in the propounded model include price of imported timber price of domestically-produced sawlog as an imperfect substitute income per capita country population and capacity utilization rates (CUR's) and industrial production indices (IPI's) of forest industry sectors. For empirical purpose we used a time series data covering the 15-year period between 1995 and 2009. The econometric model set for there appears to be able to explain more than 96% of the variation in demand for imported timber with all of the parameter estimates except for population parameter being statistically significant. Estimation results confirm the existence of the price elasticity and substitute cross-price elasticity of demand for imported timber. Results also imply that the Turkish firms importing timber tend to consider domestic sawlog prices as much as even more than the price of foreign timber. The hypothesized effects of production changes in wood products and furniture industries on imported timber demand do not appear to be substantiated by this study which can partly be attributed to the partial method of measuring CUR's and IPI's. Meanwhile possible effects of income population and exchange rate index of the Turkish currency on the imported timber demand of the country are not evidenced by the empirical findings of this research. Finally our model forecasts ceteris paribus that by 2016 the level of Turkish demand for imported timber demand can reasonably be expected to exceed 2 million m(3)/year. This corresponds to the level of timber import observed in the years preceding the global economic crisis in 2009.

Effects of gender on credit card usage among university students in Turkey
(Academic Journals, 2011) Ucal, Meltem Şengün; O'Neil, Mary Lou; Cankaya, Serkan
In recent years much has been written about credit card usage among university students. Despite a vast number of studies little has been written about credit card usage among university students in developing countries. This research surveyed university students in Turkey in an attempt to understand their uses of credit cards. In particular we examined the impact of gender on credit card use. The literature on the impact of gender on credit card usage is a bit unsettled and this study seeks to add another dimension to the research in this area. Using both parametric and nonparametric measures we sought to isolate gender and tested whether or not it affects the ways that young people in Turkey use credit cards. The importance of this research centers on the portrait it provides of credit card usage among young people in a developing country as well as to pointing the factors that may influence future credit card use.

Electronic Money in 2000's
(Fırat Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Dergisi, 2004) Ucal, Meltem Şengün
Para, dünya ekonomilerinin tümü için gerekli bir araçtır. Buna karşın elektronik para da gelişmiş ülkeler için gerekli bir araç haline gelmiştir. Günümüzde internet ortamı yolu ile yapılan finansal hizmetlerdeki muameleler için elektronik para ve elektronik ödeme sistemleri oldukça popülerdir. Elektronik sistemlerde meydana gelen bu değişmeler ekonomik ortamda gerçekleşen perakende satış ödemelerinde geleneksel işlemlerin yanında iki yeni formu ortaya çıkarmıştır. Bunlar, bir kişisel bilgisayar ile evden veya işyerinden banka işlemleri yapmak ve elektronik nakit kullanımıdır. Söz konusu muameleler güvene dayalı gerçekleştirilir. Özellikle de teknolojilerin hızla değiştiği 2000’li yılları kat edeken, bu sistemde gerçekleşmesi gereken en önemli unsur elektronik paranın kanunlar çerçevesinde değerlendirilmesidir. Fakat Türkiye elektronik para sistemleri için henüz bir kanuni çerçeve çizmemiştir.

Female employment status: a survey analysis of selected member states of the Arab League
(Springer Heidelberg, 2019) Ucal, Meltem Şengün; Günay, Simge
Low female labor force participation is a conspicuous issue in the literature. Based on this information, women's perspectives of the determinants of female labor force participation in 13 member states of the Arab League in relation to the region's patriarchal culture and conservative social norms are discussed in this paper. Probit modelling is applied to the sixth wave of the World Values Survey data (2010-2014), in order to examine the relationship between female labor force participation and socio-cultural variables, such as women's perceptions about the importance of religion, the priority of religion compared with science, the importance of traditions for women, the priority of men concerning the right to a job and the importance of a job for women's independence, and personal characteristics, such as women's social class, marital status, number of children, educational level and age. The results indicate that the number of children and the importance given to tradition and religion by women are obstacles to increasing their labor force participation.

General equilibrium evaluation of deregulation in energy sectors in China
(Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2015) Akkemik, K. Ali; Li, Jia
The central government in China has implemented ambitious energy policy reforms since 1978. An important pillar of these reforms is the deregulation in the energy markets which manifests itself in the formation of energy prices. This study examines the macroeconomic impacts of deregulation in China using an applied CGE model and counterfactual policy simulations. The results point to substantial welfare improvement. Sectoral results point to a reallocation of resources and diversion of economic activities more toward domestic services.

Global Integration Strategies In Times Of Crisis - An Event Study Of The Impact The Global Financial Crisis Has On Turkish Subsidiaries' Exporting Strategies
(Emerald Group Publishing Limited, 2017) Jensen, Camilla
Past research suggests that a financial crisis event has a dual and ambiguous effect on the exporting strategy of subsidiaries of multinational firms in a value chain and offshoring perspective. From a total volume perspective exports are expected to contract due to a decline in demand (demand shock) from other subsidiaries downstream in the value chain. While in a comparative perspective multinational subsidiaries are found to perform relatively better than local firms that are integrated differently (arms' length) in global production networks (e.g. offshoring outsourcing). This chapter tries to reconcile these findings by testing a number of hypothesis about global integration strategies in the context of the Global Financial Crisis (GFC) and how it affected exporting among multinational subsidiaries operating out of Turkey. Controlling for the impact that exchange rate depreciations and volatility has on firm-level exports the study shows that the particular global event studied had no additional impact on individual firms' exports. Since multinational subsidiaries are more insulated from these effects they are able to expand rather than contract their global integration strategies throughout the course of the GFC.

Heterogeneous effects of minimum wage on labor market outcomes: A case study from Turkey
(Walter de Gruyter, 2020) Orhangazi, Özgür; Tekgüç, Hasan; Tekgüç, Hasan
We assess the effects of a sharp minimum wage increase on wages, informality, and employment in Turkey, a large developing economy with one of the highest minimum wage-to-average wage ratios among OECD countries and widespread discrepancies between labor market outcomes of women and of men. We look at the quasi-experimental 2016 minimum wage increase and pay attention to identifying information coming from demographic groups. We find that the increase in the minimum wage had an economically substantial and statistically significant positive impact on wages. Despite the positive wage effects of the increase, we find no negative employment effects. However, we show that the minimum wage increase may have caused an increase in the share of informal employment among workers with less than tertiary education, especially for such workers working for small firms

Housing Prices in a Market Under Years of Constant Transformation: A County-Based Analysis of Istanbul
(Cracow Univ Economics, 2020) Ucal, Meltem; Kaplan, Uğur
Objective: The objective of the article is to present a comprehensive approach to analysing Istanbul's housing prices, using a hedonic price model with a large dataset and a single variable for locational attributes. Research Design & Methods: The analysis of consequent housing prices in Istanbul's counties with hedonic price modelling and the extrapolation of results by comparing the prices to the human development level of counties. We use multiple regression and Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) methods to estimate two semi-log hedonic price models for two time periods. Findings: The relationship between socioeconomic development levels and housing prices varies for counties under different urban transformation processes. Implications & Recommendations: The results are useful for the housing price analysis in Istanbul. The housing prices appear to follow the socioeconomic development level of the county in which a house is located, thus showing variations between different counties. The relationship between housing prices and urban transformation processes should be approached with caution by policymakers, as the outcomes may disturb both the sociological and economic balance in the long run. Contribution & Value Added: The study contributes to the existing research on housing price analysis by interpreting locational attributes as a whole and housing research at large by combining hedonic price modelling and case study methods.

İKLİM DEĞİŞİKLİĞİ SÜRECİNDE EKONOMİDEKİ YENİ KAVRAMLAR VE YAKLAŞIMLAR
(Dokuz Eylül Üniversitesi Sosyal Bilimler Enstitüsü, 2017) Ucal, Meltem Şengün; An, Nazan; Kurnaz, Levent
İklim değişikliği günümüzde tüm dünya üzerinde etkili olmakla birlikte özellikle gelişmekte olan ülkelerde bölgesel bazda daha önemli etkilere sahip, gelecekte de ekosistem hizmetleri aracılığıyla insanlığı ciddi şekilde tehdit etme potansiyeli bulunan küresel bir sorundur. İklim değişikliğine büyük ölçüde insan aktivitelerinin yol açtığı düşünüldüğünde, iklim değişikliğinde ekonomik aktivitelerin rolünün tartışılmaz olduğu açıktır. Küresel nüfus artışına bağlı olarak ekonomik aktivitelerde de artış yaşanacağı ifade edilmektedir. Özellikle büyüme odaklı ekonomilerde ekonomik büyümenin sağlanması yönünde gerçekleştirilen ve nüfus artışıyla birlikte daha da artacağı düşünülen ekonomik aktivitelere bağlı fosil yakıt tüketimi ve arazi kullanımı değişikliği sonucu atmosferdeki sera gazı konsantrasyonu artmaktadır ve gelecek birkaç on yılda çok daha artması beklenmektedir. Ekonomik büyümenin istikrarlı bir şekilde devam ettirilebilmesi paralelinde doğal kaynakların sürdürülebilirliğinin sağlanması da büyük önem taşımaktadır. Ekonomik büyümenin hız kesmeden devam edeceğini varsaydığımızda çevresel sınırlamaların varlığını da dikkate almamız ve kaynakları sürdürülebilir hale getirmemiz gerekmektedir. Sürdürülebilir bir kaynak kullanımı da ancak kaynak kullanımının ekonomik büyümeden ayrıklaştırılması yoluyla mümkün görünmektedir ve bu kavram küresel kaynak akışı paralelinde dikkat edilmesi gereken bir kavram olarak ortaya çıkmaktadır. Çalışmamız bu temel üzerine kurulmuştur. Makale, ayrıklaştırmanın önemini vurgulamakta ve ayrıklaştırmayı her yönüyle ele almaktadır. Ayrıklaştırmanın nasıl ölçüldüğü ve ayrıklaştırma sürecinin nasıl izlenmesi gerektiği incelenerek, ayrıklaştırma açısından gelişmiş ülke ve gelişmekte olan ülke farklılıkları ve iklim değişikliği kapsamında ayrıklaştırma süreci değerlendirilmiştir.
