Yayın Uluslararası asbest ticareti, iş sağlığı ve Türkiye(Birleşik Metal İş Sendikası, 2017-01-01) Taşbaşı, Aslı; Soykut Sarıca, Yeşim Pınar; Sabah, SelenAsbest, geride bıraktığımız yüzyılda, düşük maliyetli, dayanıklı ve kolay işlenebilir bir mineral olması nedeniyle endüstride en yaygın kullanılan ara madde olmuştur. Bu özellikleri itibariyle iktisadi rasyonalite ile tutarlı gibi gözüken asbest kullanımının, insan sağlığı üzerinde orta ve uzun vadede yol açtığı onarılamaz hasara dayalı negatif dışsallık, aslında toplumların katlanmayı göze alamayacağı kadar büyüktür. Bu çalışma, dünya üzerinde birçok ülke tarafından yasaklanan veya en azından sınırlandırılan asbest kullanımı meselesine temel olarak iki perspektiften yaklaşmaktadır. Öncelikle, uluslararası iktisat perspektifinden, krizotil asbestin uluslararası ticaretinde tehlikeli kimyasal sınıflandırmasına dahil edilmemiş olması, mevcut düzenlemelerin gerçekte yetersiz ve biçimsel kaldığını göstermektedir. Diğer taraftan, iş sağlığı perspektifinden bakıldığında, asbeste maruziyetin insan sağlığı üzerindeki sonuçlarının gecikmeli ortaya çıkıyor olması yasak ve sınırlamalara rağmen meselenin daha uzun yıllar işçiler açısından gündemde kalacağını göstermektedir. Bu çıkarımlar ışığında Türkiye, hem tehlikeli kimyasalların sınır ötesi ticaretini düzenleyen Rotterdam Sözleşmesi’ne taraf olması; hem de asbest saçılışının en yoğun gerçekleştiği gemi söküm ve kentsel dönüşüme bağlı bina yıkım işlemlerinin yapıldığı bir ülke olması itibariyle ele alınması gereken bir araştırma nesnesi özelliği taşımaktadır.Yayın Municipal Economic Enterprises vs. State Economic Enterprises: a new arena for employment patronage?(DİSK Birleşik Metal-İş, 2020-05-14) Oğuz, Ahmet Bünyan; Soykut Sarıca, Yeşim Pınar; Taşbaşı, AslıState Economic Enterprises (SEEs) have been going through a privatization process, which began in the 1980s, increasing its pace since the 2000s. Against this trend, some argue that Municipal Economic Enterprises (MEEs) are being used to create employment with populist policy intentions in recent years. These argument rests on the perception that the MEEs have replaced the SEEs in using employment as an instrument for populist policies. The purpose of this study is to compare the populist policies during the years 2003-2015 which mark the timeline that privatization took speed, by means of the employment provided through the municipality in contrast to the employment policies of the previous governments, realized through SEEs. Theoretical approach of the study is based on Gramsci’s theory of hegemony, which includes the key concepts of patronage, clientelism and social state. Research findings within the limitation of data unavailability suggest that, MEEs do not have a significant potential for populist policies by means of employment patronage. On the other hand, since MEEs manage their operations by means of outsourcing, subcontracting and tenders to private sector companies, one can suggest that there is a potential clientelism relation between them and their service providers.Yayın A threefold empirical analysis of the relationship between regional income inequality and water equity using Tapio decoupling model, WPAT equation, and the local dissimilarity index: evidence from Bulgaria(Springer-Verlag GmbH, 2021-01) Taşbaşı, AslıThis study utilizes a threefold empirical analysis in order to examine the relationship between income and water equity in Bulgaria, the fastest shrinking country in the world in terms of population, and the most unequal member of the EU in terms of regional income distribution. First, in line with this goal, the income elasticity of regional water demand in the country is calculated using the Tapio decoupling model. Second, the WPAT equation which measures the weighted impacts of population, per capita income and intensity on water demand, is utilized. And finally, using the local dissimilarity index, spatial differences in access to water by region are measured. Underscoring the essence of regional level analyses based on specific decomposed subgroups, findings are thus compatible with the economic and demographic characteristics of the regions handled in the study. In the northern regions where income and population levels are relatively low, during periods when income and water demand both increase, the rise in water demand is usually higher than the increase in income; conversely, when income decreases, the water demand also falls. The effect of population dominates the changes in water demand in the northern regions, with the exception of the Northwestern Region, where water intensity is the leading factor, possibly because the Balkans’ largest nuclear power plant is located in the region. In the southern regions where income is higher, income has been the most important determinant of water demand, particularly in recent years.Yayın International trade and strategic behaviour: a game theoretical analysis of the trade dispute between Turkey and Russia(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis, 2017) Taşbaşı, AslıStarting from the premise that strategic interactions between countries influence trade policy decisions, this paper is a first attempt at exploring the possible outcomes of a trade dispute between Turkey and Russia, assuming that Turkey can lodge a complaint about Russia's protectionist move to the WTO Dispute Settlement Body (DSB). Employing the course of events during the recent economic conflict between the two countries, the article models the stages of a trade game wherein players exhibit non-cooperative behaviour. It finds that Turkey reporting Russia to the DSB depends on the cost of the dispute, which represents both economic losses and losses that can be considered disadvantages in a broader sense. The results show that in trade relations where asymmetric interdependence is observed, if both parties mutually commit to an international organisation, binding regulations may provide strategy options that are otherwise infeasible for the disadvantaged player.Yayın İktisadi büyümeyi doğadan ilham alan teknolojiler ile yeniden düşünmek: biyomimikri, yapay zekâ ve döngüsel ekonomi(Işık Üniversitesi Yayınları, 2025-04-30) Taşbaşı, AslıÜretim ve tüketim artışına dayalı anaakım iktisadi büyüme modelleri, küresel ölçekte çevresel tahribatı ve toplumsal eşitsizlikleri derinleştirmiş; piyasa odaklı reçeteler ise bu sorunlara etkili çözümler üretememiştir. Bu çalışma, ekolojik iktisadın kuramsal temellerinden hareketle, biyomimikri ve döngüsel ekonomiyi büyümeyi yeniden tanımlayabilecek dönüştürücü unsurlar olarak ele almakta; gezegenin sınırlarını gözeten, teknolojik ilerleme ve toplumsal refahı önceleyen alternatif bir paradigma önermektedir. Yapay zekânın bu dönüşümdeki belirleyici rolüne dikkat çeken çalışmada, biyomimetik teknolojilerin kısa vadeli kâr maksimizasyonu yerine sürdürülebilirlik ve toplumsal refah ilkeleri doğrultusunda uygulanması gerektiği savunulmaktadır. Bu bağlamda, seçili iktisadi süreçlere ilişkin olarak miselyum ağları ve protoplazmaların yapısal ve işlevsel özelliklerinden esinle, yapay zekâ destekli görsel temsiller geliştirilmiştir. Söz konusu yöntem, hem biyomimetik-analojik eşleştirme yaklaşımıyla, hem de iktisadi sistemlere ilişkin çok katmanlı görsel temsil üretimiyle literatürde özgün bir ilk olma niteliği taşımaktadır.Yayın Quantifying water scarcity in Turkey(International Institute of Social and Economic Sciences, 2015-09-16) Taşbaşı, AslıThis study provides a quantitative assesment of water resources in Turkey in order to diagnose the water scarcity in the country. To this end, water stress indices are calculated which serve a multi-dimensional analysis by linking water scarcity to variables of population, income, pollution, withdrawals and social adaptive capacity. Results of the calculations are used to portray whether access to water and water poverty are directly or indirectly related. In view of its findings, the paper argues that water resources should not be managed according to the neoliberal rules of scarce resources, which may eventually make water unaffordible for the poor. The paper brings attention to the need for a socially equitable water policy and calls for a rapid agenda for the implementation of EU Water Framework Directive.Yayın Renewable electricity consumption and economic growth: a cross-income panel ARDL analysis with implications for energy transition(İstanbul Okan Üniversitesi, 2025-06-02) Brown, Mustapha Abekah; Taşbaşı, AslıThe transition to renewable energy and the corresponding use of electricity generated from renewable sources is an inevitable solution that must be adopted to mitigate the effects of the climate crisis. The extant literature on the energy-economic growth nexus present mixed findings – some studies suggest the existence of a relationship while others find no significant relationship. Nevertheless, a growing number of recent studies provide evidence of an existing relationship. This study employs the panel ARDL techniques PMG, MG and DFE to investigate the short-run and long-run dynamics between renewable electricty consumption (RELC) and economic growth over the period 2000-2022 across 48 countries classified by income level. The results clearly indicate that the use of green electricity has a positive effect on economic growth across all income levels, albeit with varying magnitudes. Findings of the study provide particularly encouraging empirical evidence for a green transition in developing countries, underscoring the need for more attention to the unique challenges and opportunities faced by these economies.Yayın Türkiye’de Bölgesel Ekonomik Büyüme ve Su Tüketimi(Efil Yayınevi, 2021-06) Taşbaşı, Aslı; Kent, Oya; Karahasan, B.

Can; Tekçe, İbrahim Mahmut; Taştan, Hüseyin; Donduran, Murat[No abstract available]Yayın Scale matters: cross-scale dynamics of cross-border carbon adjustments(IGI Global, 2020) Taşbaşı, Aslı; Sarıca, Yeşim Pınar; Yüksel, Ahmet HakanClimate change has palpable cross-scale implications given the severity of the matter epitomized in the prolonged discussions and negotiations between various parties that incur the consequences of the policy applications. Cross-border adjustment, though seemingly plausible, is a controversial method employed to mitigate the adverse potential impact of carbon emissions through placing an extra cost for the goods imported from countries that lag behind the standards set by multiple global agreements. Exercising cross-border adjustment on international trading activities is likely to have positive reverberations on taming the perils posed by climate change as well as triggering unforeseen perturbations in the interaction of actors involved in the global trading system. This chapter intends to shed light on cross-border adjustments via diagnosing the issues emerging out of the inter-scale interactions and question its effectiveness in micro and macro terms.
