Yayın The relationship between a mother's attitude toward domestic violence and children's schooling outcomes in Turkey(Sage Publications Inc, 2014-09) Rende, SevinçThis study explores the relationship between a mother's attitude toward domestic violence and her children's schooling outcomes in Turkey. The sample is drawn from the 2003 Turkish Demographic and Health Survey and consists of 7,951 children within the ages of legally mandated compulsory education. A probit regression model is used to analyze the data. The results suggest that the daughters of mothers who find domestic violence acceptable are 2.6 percentage point less likely to enroll in school, all else being equal, than the daughters of mothers who do not tolerate abuse. In comparison, the schooling outcomes of male children are not statistically sensitive to the mother's attitude toward wife beating. The policy implications of the results are discussed.Yayın Underemployment in the Turkish labor market(Sosyoekonomi Derneği, 2017-07-31) Susanlı, Zehra BilgenUsing individual-level data from Household Labor Force Surveys for the period 2009-2015, this paper examines the determinants of underemployment in the sample of wage and salary earners in Turkey. Findings from Probit estimations indicate that the effect of gender on the likelihood of underemployment is not statistically significant, and there is a negative association between educational attainment and the likelihood of underemployment. Within the group of higher educated individuals, there are important differences across fields of study.Yayın Adaptation of professional skills in the unit operations laboratory(2012) Rende, Deniz; Rende, Sevinç; Baysal, NihatWe introduce the design of three consecutive unit operations laboratory (UOL) courses that retain the academic rigor of the course while incorporating skills essential for professional careers, such as ability to propose ideas, develop practical solutions, participate in teamwork, meet deadlines, establish communication between technical support and suppliers and oversee financial issues. We follow up the course outcomes with a survey targeting the graduates of the program. The results show that the implementation of these skills varies across post-graduate careers, highlighting the need for adaptive approaches for different graduate trajectories in designing the course.Yayın CSR and social marketing as enablers of recovery after the global recession: The Turkish banking industry(IGI Global, 2018-01-01) Gül, Mısra Çağla; Kaytaz, MehmetCorporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a relatively new concept in Turkey. Leading companies including banks stress socially responsible activities in their marketing communications. The recent economic crisis put banks into the center stage again. Turkey was one of the few countries that emerged from the economic downturn relatively quickly. In the initial stages of the crisis, banks faced some criticism for protecting their self-interest more and not acting for the benefit of the society. Later, these criticisms got weaker and less frequent. This chapter examines the behavior of banks during the crisis with respect to CSR and social marketing. Particularly, the chapter analyzes how the banks behaved during the crisis and how they supported small and medium scale enterprises and local communities through CSR strategies, as well as how they utilized CSR efforts as a marketing tool. In addition, the outcome of these strategies is discussed.Yayın The effect of academic inbreeding on scientific effectiveness(Springer, 2011-09) İnanç Tunçer, Özlem; Tunçer, OnurIn academia, the term "inbreeding'' refers to a situation wherein PhDs are employed in the very same institution that trained them during their doctoral studies. Academic inbreeding has a negative perception on the account that it damages both scientific effectiveness and productivity. In this article, the effect of inbreeding on scientific effectiveness is investigated through a case study. This problem is addressed by utilizing Hirsch index as a reliable metric of an academic's scientific productivity. Utilizing the dataset, constructed with academic performance indicators of individuals from the Mechanical and Aeronautical Engineering Departments, of the Turkish Technical Universities, we demonstrate that academic inbreeding has a negative impact on apparent scientific effectiveness through a negative binomial model. This model appears to be the most suitable one for the dataset which is a type of count data. We report chi-square statistics and likelihood ratio test for the parameter alpha. According to the chi-square statistics the model is significant as a whole. The incidence rate ratio for the variable "inbreeding'' is estimated to be 0.11 and this ratio tells that, holding all the other factors constant, for the inbred faculty, the h-index is about 89% lower when compared to the non-inbred faculty. Furthermore, there exists negative and statistically significant correlation with an individual's productivity and the percentage of inbred faculty members at the very same department. Excessive practice of inbreeding adversely affects the overall productivity. Decision makers are urged to limit this practice to a minimum in order to foster a vibrant research environment. Furthermore, it is also found that scientific productivity of an individual decreases towards the end of his scientific career.Yayın 1995-2011 döneminde Avrasya ekonomilerine yapılan doğrudan yabancı yatırımların (DYY) dünya trendi ile karşılaştırılması(2013) Tuzla, Hayri; Teker, SuatKüreselleşen ve gün geçtikçe sınırların azaldığı dünyamızda doğrudan yabancı sermaye yatırımları, başta ekonomik büyüme ve işsizlik olmak üzere, ülkelerin birçok farklı makro verisini etkilemektedir. Mevcut araştırmalar, doğrudan yabancı sermaye yatırımlarının ekonomik büyümeyi etkilemesi yönünde güçlü bir nedensellik ilişkisi olduğunu desteklemektedir. Ekonomik büyümenin doğrudan yabancı sermaye yatırımlarınıetkilemesi yönünde ise, daha zayıf bir pozitif nedensellik ilişkisi tespit edilmiştir. Böylece, ekonomik büyümenin bir sonucu olarak, işsizlik oranlarında bir azalma beklenebilir. Bu çalışma, yedi Avrasya ülkesinin (Azerbaycan, Kazakistan, Kırgızistan, Tacikistan, Türkiye, Türkmenistan ve Özbekistan) 1995 yılından 2011'e kadar çekmiş olduğu doğrudan yabancı sermaye yatırımları trendini, hem bu ülkeler arasında hem de dünya trendi ile karşılaştırmaktadır.Yayın Türkiye’de beceri açığı: firma verisi analizi(Adem Anbar, 2020) Susanlı, Zehra BilgenBeceri açığı (skill shortage) terimi işgücü piyasasında becerili işgücüne ihtiyacın, mevcut işgücü arzından ne kadar fazla olduğunu gösterir. Bu çalışma Dünya Bankası tarafından derlenen Enterprise Surveys anketleri 2008 ve 2013 verilerinden faydalanarak beceri açığının Türkiye’deki firmalar arasındaki yaygınlığını ve beceri açığı olasılığının belirleyicilerini incelemeyi amaçlamaktadır. Firma düzeyinde beceri açığı, anketlere katılan firmaların yetersiz eğitimli işgücünün firma faaliyetlerine engel teşkil edip etmediği sorusuna verdikleri cevap ile ölçülmüştür. Probit modeli tahmin sonuçlarına göre firma büyüklüğü ve kayıt dışı rakiplerin faaliyetleri ile beceri açığı olasılığı arasında pozitif ve istatistiki olarak anlamlı bir ilişki vardır. Beceri açığının belirleyicileri 2008 ve 2013 yılları arasında değişkenlik göstermiştir.Yayın CSR and social marketing as enablers of recovery after the global recession: the Turkish banking industry(IGI Global, 2016-12-21) Gül, Mısra Çağla; Kaytaz, MehmetCorporate Social Responsibility (CSR) is a relatively new concept in Turkey.

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 What would normalisation of economic relations between Mashrek countries, Turkey and Israel imply?(Blackwell, 2007-04) Tovias, Alfred; Kalaycıoğlu, Sema; Dafni, Inon; Ruben, Ester; Herman, LiorThis article examines the potential for economic cooperation among Mashrek countries, Turkey and Israel in the fields of trade in goods and services both separately and across-field. It first describes the macroeconomic features of the region and then estimates the overall potential for inter-industry trade in goods by estimating gravity equations for each country separately and the potential for intra-industry trade using Grubel-Lloyd indices. The article also examines the potential for trade in specific services, namely information and computer technology, transport, financial and health services.
