Yayın Employment intensity of economic growth in Southern Europe: evidence from multidimensional panel data(2023-06-26) Görkey, Selda; Şen Taşbaşı, AslıThis paper examines the employment intensity of economic growth in Southern Europe during the so-called “post-crisis” recovery years. A labor demand estimation model based on multidimensional panel data from 2010 to 2019 was utilized. Findings from our macroeconomic analysis of eight different industries refute the predictions of neoclassical labor theory in the region. The results further indicate the presence of jobless growth in the areas of overall employment, fulltime employment, and overall employees. They also signal that economic growth may have created job opportunities in part-time and youth employment, and among temporary employees, rather than full-time jobs. The paper links these findings to particular characteristics of the regional labor market, discusses their.Yayın Whether development indices affect economic growth: a cross-country analysis(Elsevier Science BV, 2016-11-23) Teker, Suat; Güner, AyşegülThis study aims to examine the relationship between economic growth and highly featured development indices using a cross sectional data of 12 countries from both developed and developing world between the years 2000 and 2013. The indices of corruption, democracy, freedom of press, human development, global competitiveness, economic freedom, and the featured development indicators of World Bank such as average schooling years, life expectancy, female labour force participation rate, health expenditures rate in GDP, export rate of high technology, and employment rate are used to investigate the relationship in between economic growth and development indices. In order to exploit this relationship, all individual indices are reformed to produce form a single index, what we call harmonic index. The findings show that the higher scores of harmonic Index are associated with higher GDP per capita all levels except Saudi Arabia.Yayın Impact of novel coronavirus (COVID-19) on daily routines and air environment: evidence from Turkey(Springer, 2021-03) Ali, Hussain; Yılmaz, Gözde; Fareed, Zeeshan; Shahzad, Farrukh; Ahmad, MunirTurkish people are facing several problems because of the novel coronavirus (COVID-19), as the pandemic has brought about drastic changes to their daily routines. This study mainly investigates the impact of this pandemic on the daily routines of Turkish. It also unveils how COVID-19 affects the air environment. The adopted methods for data collection are based on open-ended questions and Facebook interviews as per recommended by QSR-International (2012). The sample of this study comprises of Turkish students as well as professional workers. The findings of the research show that there are eighteen different results of COVID-19 that have been identified according to the Turkish people’s daily routines. Results reveal that increasing unemployment, decrease in air contamination, high stress and depression, a slowdown in the economic growth, and the tourism industry are profoundly affected due to the COVID-19 in Turkey. Furthermore, on the one hand, the consequences of the pandemic are segregated into social problems and psychological issues in daily routines. On the other hand, they have shown a positive impact on the air environment. This study concludes that, amid the COVID-19 pandemic, the lives of the people in Turkey are subject to deterioration, while the air environment of Turkey is gradually improving.Yayın Causal links between patents and economic growth: empirical evidence from OECD countries(Universidade Nove de Julho-UNINOVE, 2024-08) Özkan Yıldız, Öznur; Görkey, SeldaObjective of the Study: This paper empirically investigates the reciprocal relationship and causality between patents and economic growth. Methodology/Approach: Utilizing the Generalized Method of Moments (GMM) Panel Vector Autoregression (PVAR) and panel VAR-Granger Causality frameworks, the study concentrates on Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) economies where a high fraction of global innovative activities take place. Originality/Relevance: The relationship and causality between patents and economic growth are investigated and evaluated by distinguishing the former variable into patent applications and grants. Main Results: The findings from the GMM panel VAR approach indicate that patent applications and grants significantly affect economic growth, whereas economic activities do not influence patent-related variables. The estimations from the panel VAR-Granger approach confirm these findings by presenting a unidirectional causality from patent applications and grants to economic growth. The impulse-response functions (IRFs) exhibit parallel findings, and further checks validate the stability of the findings obtained. The outcomes of this study point out two crucial implications. First, the impacts of patent applications and grants affect economic growth similarly while the impact of patent grants lasts longer. Second, while patents cause higher economic activity, the latter does not induce innovative activity through patents in the OECD. Theoretical/Methodological Contributions: It would be useful to conduct separate analyses for a selected product, sector, or country by including research and development (R&D) expenditures for different periods, country groups, and analysis methods. Social/Management Contributions: Countries should prioritize the establishment of an effective patent management system that will increase the pace of innovation and the implementation of incentive policies for the development of high-value-added technology products.Yayın The determinants of capital structure decisions: new evidence from Turkish companies(Elsevier Science B.V., 2016) Güner, AyşegülThis study conducts a comparative test of trade-off theory and pecking order theory using 131 publicly traded Turkish companies' firm-level data between 2008 and 2014. The study also tries to exploit the differences between the capital structure decisions for various degrees of free float rate and foreign paid in capital, and for those that have various market values. According to the empirical results, although pecking order theory seems to better describe the capital structure of the firms, some of the determinants are suitable for trade-off theory. The results of the study also reveal that companies that have a free float rate between % 50 and % 75 have lower degrees of leverage and the degree of leverage varies for different market values of companies.
