Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Poverty and Income Distribution Incidence of the Covid-19 Outbreak: Investigating Socially Responsible Policy Alternatives for Turkey(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Tekguc, Hasan; Unsal, Ezgi B.; Yeldan, ErincTo counterbalance the deep systemic global crisis triggered by the COVID-19, many countries introduced a vast arsenal of fiscal policy instruments coupled with monetary accommodation. Yet, Turkey's response had almost exclusively relied on credit expansion and loan guarantees while minimizing the role of fiscal policy. Within that context, this article has three interrelated objectives. Firstly, we evaluate the effects of the crisis and the implemented policies on poverty and income distribution. Second, we measure the macroeconomic impacts of COVID-19 on the Turkish economy through a general equilibrium model. We find that these policies had a limited impact on reducing crisis-induced poverty. Finally, we propose alternatives to mitigate the effects of the COVID-19 crisis, which are compatible with fiscal constraints. Our results suggest that by pursuing a targeted fiscal income transfer programme covering wage earners and small-sized enterprises, Turkey could have achieved a more egalitarian and effective response to the Covid-19 crisis.Article Citation - WoS: 12Citation - Scopus: 16Transforming Türkiye's Power System: An Assessment of Economic, Social, and External Impacts of an Energy Transition by 2030(Elsevier, 2023) Acar, Sevil; Kat, Bora; Rogner, Mathis; Saygin, Deger; Taranto, Yael; Yeldan, A. ErincTürkiye has the long-term goal of transforming its power system to one that is cleaner, more secure and more affordable. According to this paper's scenario analyses, low-cost renewables can supply 55% of T & uuml;rkiye's total electricity demand. Coupled with the electrification of end-use sectors, energy efficiency can reduce total power demand by 10% compared to a business as usual scenario by 2030. The paper assesses the social, economic, and environmental impacts of this transformation by soft linking a power system model with an applied computable general equilibrium model, using an updated input and output dataset, and employing a novel analysis of job creation and fossil fuel externalities. The power system transformation significantly improves social welfare with net socioeconomic benefits estimated at 1% of GDP by 2030. Positive impacts include a reduction in human health and climate change externalities by a third, which are further enhanced by wage income growth that is driven by higher skilled and better paid jobs. A carbon tax emerges as a critical instrument to realize these benefits whilst reducing the power sector's emissions to 2030. The assessment should be expanded with more ambitious clean energy technology deployment for the entire energy system to operationalize T & uuml;rkiye's Paris-aligned 2053 net-zero emission target and just transition policies.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 15Turkey in Turbulence: Heterodoxy or a New Chapter in Neoliberal Peripheral Development?(Wiley, 2023) Orhangazi, Ozgur; Yeldan, A. Erinc; Erinç Yeldan, A.While global monetary tightening by central banks, led by the US Federal Reserve, has heightened concerns about a slowdown in the world's economy and an increased likelihood of debt crises across developing countries, Turkey has attracted attention for doing the opposite. Indeed, the country's economic policy makers have intensified monetary easing towards credit expansion at the risk of increased exchange rate instability. This article analyses the Turkish case and makes four contributions. First, it establishes a framework through which we can understand and interpret the policy choices of the government. Second, it shows the binding effects of the trilemma in the context of an economy fully integrated in the global economy and discusses how the government tried to tackle these effects through a series of ad hoc policy measures. Third, the article discloses the distributional consequences of such policy manoeuvres and argues that the burden of adjustment fell on the shoulders of wage labour, while various competing rentier interests benefited from these policies. Fourth, the authors analyse these policies from a broader perspective of whether they can be interpreted as a courageous attempt by a peripheral developing economy to claim some policy space, or whether these policy choices in essence only amount to a deepening of neoliberal peripheralization.Article Citation - WoS: 68Citation - Scopus: 75The Re-making of the Turkish Crisis(WILEY, 2021) Orhangazi, Özgür; Yeldan, A. ErinçBy the end of 2018 Turkey had entered a new economic crisis and a lengthy recession period. In contrast to the previous financial crises of 1994, 2001 and 2009, when the economy shrank abruptly with a spectacular collapse of asset values and a severe contraction of output, the 2018 economic crisis was characterized by a prolonged recession with persistent low (negative) rates of growth, dwindling investment performance, debt repayment problems, secularly rising unemployment, spiralling currency depreciation and high inflation. The mainstream approach attributes this dismal performance to a lack of 'structural reforms' and/or exogenous policy factors. However, this analysis shows that the underlying sources of the crisis are to be found not in the conjunctural cycles of reform fatigue, but rather in the post-2001, neoliberal, speculation-led growth model that relied excessively on hot-money inflows and external debt accumulation. This article argues that following the post-2001 orthodox reforms, a foreign capital inflow-dependent, debt-led and construction-centred economic growth model dominated the economy and caused a long build-up of imbalances and increased fragilities that led to the 2018 crisis. The Covid-19 pandemic of 2020-21 further exposed these fragilities, pushing the economy back into a recession with rapid capital outflows causing another round of sharp currency depreciation.Article Macroeconomics of Greening Turkish Agriculture: A General Equilibrium Analysis of Input Rationalization Policies(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2026) Yeldan, A. Erinc; Karakoc, UlasWith the aid of an applied general equilibrium model, we study the macroeconomic effects of various policy alternatives to stimulate the implications of the greening of Turkish agriculture. Our results suggest that the reduction in chemicals, including synthetic fertilizers, and fossil oil combustion at alternative rates of 30% and 50% would significantly reduce carbon emissions, but at the expense of adverse effects on agricultural output. In response, the negative effects on agricultural output can be reversed by a targeted investment programme that could facilitate technological change and a commensurate rationalization of the rural economy, resulting in enhanced gains in agricultural productivity. We argue that the warranted funds towards such productivity-enhancing investments can be earmarked by the introduction of a nationwide carbon tax, and that they would boost not only agricultural output and rural incomes but could also mitigate the adverse transition costs on GDP and social welfare.Article Citation - Scopus: 1Beyond the Quest for a Technological Holy Grail: Patterns of Income Inequality and the Household Carbon Footprint in Turkey(Cambridge University Press, 2025) Gürer, E.; Satloglu, B.; Voyvoda, E.; Erinç Yeldan, A.; Yeldan, A. Erinc; Satioglu, BingulUtilizing data on household consumption expenditure patterns and sectorial greenhouse gas emissions, we study the extent of inequality over Turkish households' differentiated carbon footprint incidences. We harmonize the household budget survey data of the Turkish Statistical Institute (TURKSTAT) with production-based gas emissions data from EXIOBASE3 and investigate both the direct and indirect emissions across household-level income strata. Our calculations reveal that the households in the highest income decile alone are responsible for 19.4 percent of the overall (direct and indirect) emissions, whereas the bottom 10 percent of households are responsible for 4.3 percent. We also find that for direct emissions, the per-household average of the highest income decile exceeds that of the lowest income decile by a factor of 11.2. Notably, 87 percent of the indirect emissions budget for the poorest decile is linked to food and housing expenses, underscoring their susceptibility to climate policies. We confer that in designing the net-zero emission pathways to combat climate change, it would not suffice to study the technological transition of decarbonization solely and that the successful implementation of an indigenous environmental policy will ultimately depend upon the socio-economic factors of income distribution strata, indicators of consumption demand, and responsiveness of the individual households to react to price signals. © 2025 The Author(s).Article Toward a Green Income Support Policy: Investigating Social and Fiscal Alternatives for Turkey(Cambridge Univ Press, 2023) Dogan, Berna; Tekguc, Hasan; Yeldan, Alp ErincThe limited success of employment-based social protection measures under the diverging patterns of post-COVID-19 recovery rekindled interest in a social policy framework known as the Basic Income (BI) support. We test the potential of the BI program using five alternative scenarios ranging from households with income less than half of median income to all adults with estimates of their respective fiscal costs. We then employ an applied general equilibrium model to analyze the economy-wide effects and welfare implications for Turkey in the long run through 2030. We evaluate the macroeconomic and welfare effects of both a business-as-usual fiscal program and an alternative (green BI scenario) comprising of (i) carbon tax levied on the fossil fuel producing industry; (ii) corporate income taxation policy reform that aims at expanding the revenue base and consolidation of the fiscal space of the government; and (iii) restructuring of public consumption expenditures by introducing rationality and efficiency in the structure of fiscal expenditures. Our model solutions reveal that a green BI scenario not only achieves a higher GDP and welfare in the medium to long run but also helps Turkey to reduce its carbon emissions in line with the global policy challenges of a green recovery.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 4Green Central Banking Under High Inflation-More of a Need Than an Option: an Analytical Exposition for Turkey(Wiley, 2023) Unuvar, Burcu; Yeldan, A. ErincMotivation: Calls for a green monetary policy are intensifying as the climate crisis deepens. Although the leading central banks of low-inflation countries are the spokesmodels of this discussion, considerations of green central banking under high inflation continue to lag. The motivation of this article is to contribute to this process with a working example from Turkey-an economy under severe inflationary pressure.Purpose: Our first objective is to document the risks associated with climate change for the Central Bank of the Republic of Turkey (CBRT) in terms of its main mandate of price stability and to provide evidence to pursue green policies. We next examine the feasibility of a green monetary design under high inflation.Methods and approach: We scrutinize the duties and responsibilities of the CBRT as set by law and set out the armoury it would have at its disposal in pursuing a green monetary policy. Exhibiting climate change-related risks to its mandate(s), we find one climate policy-related and two mandate-related reasons for the CBRT to go green, matching them with robust green instruments.Findings: Adopting a green monetary policy has the potential to improve the CBRT's ability to reach its objective of price stability. Indicating that green central banking in a high-inflation country is more of a need than an option, we also document that greening of the monetary policy does not necessarily conflict with the broad mandates of inflation targeting and financial stability.Policy implications: Evidence from Turkey supports the greening of the CBRT. This call is both feasible in terms of its capabilities and critical as regards fulfilling the mandate. Furthermore, by exposing carbon bias in the country's loan portfolio, our findings support aligning monetary policy with emissions-abatement instruments, thus contributing to the overall design of Turkey's climate policies.Article Citation - WoS: 11Citation - Scopus: 13A new energy-economy-environment modeling framework: Insights from decarbonization of the Turkish power Sector towards net-zero Emission targets(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2024) Kat, B.; Sahin, U.; Teimourzadeh, S.; Tor, O. B.; Voyvoda, E.; Yeldan, A. E.The power sector plays a crucial role towards decarbonization for many economies, especially in line with the net-zero targets to limit global warming to 1.5 degrees C. Technical constraints intrinsic to the sector, penetration of new technologies, investment and operational costs, and its connections with the rest of the economy make the power sector a complex system to analyze. Although there are numerous studies to integrate bottom-up power sector technology models with top-down macroeconomic models, this study is the first attempt to link the three separate and interrelated models within a single framework: an electricity market simulation model, a generation expansion planning model, and an applied general equilibrium model. The proposed framework is implemented to analyze a feasible decarbonization scenario for T & uuml;rkiye, with a particular focus on the power sector. The results suggest that, given the existing capacity and potential for renewables, T & uuml;rkiye can achieve a coal-phase out by early 2030s, alongside a trajectory towards a full-fledged fossil fuel phase-out in power generation. The results also indicate that while installed capacity and generation of coal-fired power plants are reduced, real GDP and electricity demand can be maintained and the carbon dioxide emissions from the power sector could be reduced by as much as 50% in 2030 compared to 2018 levels.Doctoral Thesis Birleşik Krallık Ekonomisi için İki Hanehalklı Sfc Modelinde Eşitsizlik, Covid Sonrası Enflasyon ve Gelirler Politikası(2025) Özden, Oktay; Yeldan, Alp ErinçBu tez, gelir çatışması teorisi perspektifinden enflasyon ve gelir eşitsizliği arasındaki etkileşime odaklanarak Birleşik Krallık ekonomisinde COVID sonrası enflasyonunun dinamiklerini incelemektedir. Çalışma, Birleşik Krallık ekonomisine yönelik uyarlanmış ilk iki-haneli Stok-Alım Tutarlı (SFC) modelini sunarken eşitsizlik ve enflasyon dinamiklerini analiz etmek için kapsamlı bir çerçeve sağlamaktadır. Modelin sağladığı bulgular, interaktif politika simülasyonları ve eğitim uygulamalarını mümkün kılan yenilikçi bir R Shiny tabanlı araç olan UK-SFC Uygulaması'nın geliştirilmesiyle daha da güçlendirilmiştir. Bulgular, bölüşüm dinamikleriyle yönlendirilen gelir taleplerinin enflasyonist baskılarda merkezi bir rol oynadığını ve gelir politikası tasarımının kritik önemini göstermektedir. Simülasyon sonuçları, gelir eşitsizliğini ele alacak şekilde iyi tasarlanmış bir gelirler politikasının, hem enflasyonu hem de gelir eşitsizliğini aynı anda azaltabileceğini göstermektedir. Araştırma, enflasyon ve eşitsizliği ele almak için gelir politikasının çift yönlü bir mekanizma olarak benimsenmesini savunmaktadır ve etkili ekonomik sonuçlar elde etmede, etkin gelirler politikalarının kritik önemini vurgulamaktadır.
