Article Informality and Female Labor Income Share(2025-03-13) Töngür, Ünal; Elveren, Adem; Elgin, CeyhunBu çalışma kayıt dışı istihdam ile kadınların refahı arasındaki ilişkinin daha iyi anlaşılmasını sağlayacak özgün ampirik bulgular sunmaktadır. Kadınların formel sektördeki istihdam olanaklarına ulaşmalarını zorlaştıran bazı engeller olduğu için genellikle düşük verimlilik, kredi ve mesleki gelişim olanaklarına sınırlı erişim ve sosyal güvencesizlik ile özdeşleşen kayıt dışı sektörlere yönelme eğilimindedirler. 148 ülke ve 1991-2018 dönemini kapsayan kayıt dışı ekonomi ve kadınların emek geliri payı veri setlerini kullanarak, genel anlamda kayıtdışılık ile kadınların emek geliri payı arasında güçlü bir ilişki olduğunu ve bu ilişkinin farklı gelir grubundaki ülkelere ve kalkınma düzeyine göre belirgin bir şekilde farklılaştığını gösterdik. Bu iki değişken arasında genel olarak yüksek geliri grubu ülkelerde anlamlı ve tutarlı bir ilişki bulunmazken, bu korelasyonun düşük gelirli ülkelerde negatif ve orta gelirli ülkelerde pozitif olduğu görülmektedir.Article Determinants of Energy Use in Turkish Manufacturing Industry: A Supply Side View(2024-11-26) Berk, İstemi; Yetkiner, HakanThis paper aims to assess the supply-side determinants of firm-level energy use. To this end, we first propose a model for a stylized economy using Solovian framework, in which the production function employs energy input, along with capital and labor. We show the full algebraic solution of the model at the steady-state and in the transitional period and derive the supply-side determinants of energy consumption. Then, using firm-level micro panel data on the Turkish manufacturing industry from 2009 to 2015, we test the proposed model with static and dynamic panel data estimators. Our empirical results suggest that the proposed model is consistent with Turkish manufacturing data. Out of the supply-side determinants, firms’ output/value-added and total factor productivity, as a proxy for technological progress, are found to be the most significant determinants of firm-level energy use. Estimations also reveal quite heterogenous effects of technology on energy use in different manufacturing subsectors. Hence, although promoting technological change in the manufacturing industry is, without a doubt, the most convenient way to reduce energy use, policymakers should develop sector-specific incentives to achieve this goal.Article International Investors, Volatility, and Herd Behavior: Borsai̇stanbul, 2001-2016(2020) Akçaalan, Ezgi; Binatlı, Ayla Oğuş; Dindaroğlu, BurakWe study herding in Borsa Istanbul between 2001 and 2016, focusing on the effects of international investors and market volatility. Herding explains 31% of total variability in the cross sectional standard deviation of beta values, controlling for market fundamentals. We perform time-series analysis of a herding index and find that herding increases following increased trading by international investors, but falls with overall trading volume on the market. Herding rises in response to increased volatility, rather than leading to it, against previous arguments. Investors do not herd during economic crises, but following important events that raise political tension in the country.Article Intergenerational Transmission and the Impact of Mothers-In Law in the Turkish Labor Market: the Case of Izmir(2020-10-26) Eryar, Sıtkı Değer; Tekgüç, HasanThis paper examines the presence of intergenerational transmission in the Turkish labor market with respect to the association between labor market activity of women and work experience of their mothers-in-law. By utilizing a representative unique household labor force survey from İzmir, this study provides statistically significant results for the association above even after taking into account manysocioeconomic factors such as parental education and the household characteristics. Our major findings show that the presence of a working mother-in-law increases the probability of women’s labor force participation rate by 11 percentage points. Our results are robust when we use different dependent variables such as employment rate and being a regular employee in non-agricultural sector. The labor market experience of women’s own mothers turns out to affect rather indirectly through human capital investment for their daughters. The impact of working mothers-in-law on women’s labor market activity is not homogeneous across all educational categories. This association is particularly significant among women with lower educational attainment (at most 8 years of schooling).Article Is Production or Consumption the Determiner? Sources of Turkey’s Co2 Emissions Between 1990-2015 and Policy Implications(2021-09-29) Alkan, Ayla; Oğuş Binatlı, Ayla; Binatli, Ayla OgusTurkey’s CO2 emissions have been steadily increasing since the 1990s. Determining influences of socioeconomic factors behind thisincrease can help identify which sectors and what types of policies should be prioritized to go into action. This paper identifies themain contributors to CO2 emissions change within five-year intervals during 1990-2015 by adopting the Structural DecompositionAnalysis (SDA) method. The results show that CO2 emissions increase was driven by per capita expenditure and population factors,while emission coefficient factor had a reducing effect on emissions. As the production side factors fell pretty behind theconsumption side factors, net emissions were positive and the actual determiner in CO2 emissions was found as consumption. Themost contributing sectors were Electricity, Land Transportation and Mineral. Speeding up renewable energy investments andcontinuing energy efficiency measures, placing a carbon tax on electricity and oil consumption, promoting public transport and useof clean fuels and vehicles, slowing down construction and raising consumer awareness to change their consumption behavior,particularly to reduce demand for high emitting products and services should be the top priority policies.Article Convergence in Income Inequality Across the Eu-15(2022-07-26) Demir, Caner; Cergibozan, Raif; Arı, Ali; Yetkiner, HakanThe purpose of this study is to examine whether there is convergence in income inequality across the European Union-15 (EU-15) member countries over the 1988-2017 period. The system-GMM estimations suggest a significant convergence process in income inequality between EU-15 countries, but at higher values of the Gini coefficient. This ‘unpleasant’ result may indicate the inefficiency of extensive EU social and developmental projects and programs aimed at reducing national and regional disparities. The estimates also show more rapid convergence between the EU-15 countries when the country-specific economic and political control variables are included. On the other hand, our results indicate that an increase in FDI inflows leads to higher income inequality within individual countries while in countries where political rights and civil liberties are well established, income inequality tends to be lower.Article Citation - WoS: 28Citation - Scopus: 27Financial Development Convergence: New Evidence for the Eu(Central Bank Republic Turkey, 2017-06) Kilinc, Dilara; Seven, Unal; Yetkiner, Hakan; Yetkiner, İbrahim HakanThis paper aims to investigate whether the banking and stock market measures among European Union countries have been subject to a convergence process in order to verify whether the transition from the European Monetary System to the Single Currency in the last five decades have led to the integration of financial markets. We show that banking and stock market measures tend to converge across the EU over time, and the process is even improved by controlling for the quality of country level institutions and a range of macroeconomic variables. We conclude that there is a degree of success in the financial integration process of EU countries and therefore recommend that the EU accelerates financial integration to completion rather than to slowing the process.
