    Ethnic Fractionalization Conflict and Educational Development in Turkey
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2019) Oyvat, Cem; Tekgüç, Hasan; Tekgüç, Hasan
    We examine the impact of ethnic fractionalization and conflict on limiting the educational development in Southeastern Turkey. Our estimates show that although the armed conflict in the region did not directly hinder education investments it reduced school enrolment rates at middle and high school levels while increasing enrolment at the primary school level. Moreover we show that provinces with higher percentages of Kurdish population received less education investment. These results suggest that the neglect of Kurdish areas is an important factor behind Southeastern Turkey's educational underdevelopment while land inequality and the armed conflict had mixed effects on education in the region.

    Declining Poverty and Inequality in Turkey: the Effect of Social Assistance and Home Ownership
    (Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018) Tekgüç, Hasan; Tekgüç, Hasan
    Social assistance has become prominent in combating poverty in developing countries and has also contributed to the popularity and election success of governments implementing it. In this paper I employ household surveys and investigate the effect of social assistance on poverty and income inequality in Turkey. I also review the recent literature on poverty as well as different components of social protection spending: education health pensions and housing. In the empirical analysis I show that pensions still constitute the bulk of public transfers to households. Moreover home ownership ameliorates poverty and inequality for Turkey. Despite its modest amounts social assistance reduces poverty and its marginal effect on income inequality is larger than other income sources. These findings suggest that increases in social assistance budgets should accompany other policy measures in combating poverty and inequality.

    Does Migration Contribute To Women's Empowerment? Portrait of Urban Turkey and Istanbul
    (Routledge Journals Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2019) Eryar, Değer; Tekgüç, Hasan; Tekgüç, Hasan; Toktaş, Şule
    This article empirically investigates the impact of internal migration on women's empowerment in urban areas of Turkey. Based on data from a nationally representative household survey we find that migration exerts a positive impact in urban settings through improvements in educational attainment and labor market outcomes. Migration contributes to women's empowerment by raising their education levels and lowering the gap in schooling between men and women. Migration also allows migrants both men and women and particularly those with tertiary education to access jobs and occupations in high wage regions like Istanbul. However unlike in education a gender wage gap persists even after migration.

    Women's Tertiary Education Masks the Gender Wage Gap in Turkey
    (Springer, 2017) Tekgüç, Hasan; Eryar, Deger; Cindoglu, Dilek
    This paper investigates the gender wage gap for full-time formal sector employees disaggregated by education level. The gap between the labor force participation rate of women with tertiary education and those with lower levels of education is substantial. There is no such gap for men. Hence existing gender wage gap studies for Turkey where we observe lopsided labor force participation rates by education levels compare two very different populations. We disaggregate the whole sample by education level to create more homogenous sub-groups. For Turkey without disaggregation the gender wage gap was 13% in 2011 and women are significantly over-qualified relative to men on observed characteristics. Once we disaggregate the sample by education level we show that the gender wage gap is 24% for less educated women and 9% for women with tertiary education in full-time formal employment. Observed characteristics only explain 1 % of this gap in absolute terms. We further disaggregate the data by public and private employment. The gender gap is higher in the private sector. However women with tertiary education in the public sector are significantly better qualified compared to men and consequently the adjusted gender wage gap is higher for women with tertiary education in the public sector. Our estimates also indicate a rise in the gender wage gap between 2004 and 2011.

    Impact Assesment of Turkey 2023 Tourism Action Plan
    (Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2019) Ertekin, Çiğdem; Tekgüç, Hasan; Tekgüç, Hasan
    Tourism Strategy of Turkey – 2023 and the Action Plan for 2013 [Tourism Strategy 2023] have the target of making Turkey a top brand in the world with superior income and visitor figures by 2023. One of the major aims of this new strategy is to increase revenue per tourist and it emphasizes the role of cultural tourism in reaching this goal. In this thesis, I investigate the impact of this strategy. I use both instrumental variable and panel data methods and find an impact of $103-$192 per tourist depending on the empirical method for the 2011-2018 period compared to the preceding period of 2006-2010. These results are statistically and economically significant and robust to alternative assumptions
