    The impact of real effective exchange rate and its volatility on economic growth in the OECD
    (Işık Üniversitesi, 2023-11-30) Dada, Samson Adewale; Görkey, Selda; Işık Üniversitesi, Lisansüstü Eğitim Enstitüsü, Uygulamalı Ekonomi Yüksek Lisans Programı
    This study examines the effects of the real effective exchange rate (REER) and its volatility on economic growth from 1996 to 2020 in 36 OECD countries utilizing fixed effects (FE) and random effects (RE) methodologies from panel data econometrics. For empirical analysis, the Hausman test indicates that the fixed effect method is superior to the random effect method; and there were presence of cross-sectional dependencies, autocorrelation, and heteroskedasticity in the FE model. The robust estimates derived by the FE estimation using DRK S.E. indicate that the impact of the real effective exchange rate on economic growth is negative and statistically significant whereas the REER volatility has an insignificant effect on economic growth in the OECD throughout the examined period. The findings from the FE model with robust S.E. further evidence a significantly negative impact of GCE and a significantly positive impact of GCF on economic growth. While population growth and trade do not result in any significant impact on economic activity, the influence of inflation on GDP growth presents mixed findings on significance levels both of which point out to negative impacts. This study presents crucial outcomes in that the impacts of REER and REER volatility on economic growth present diversified outcomes over the past decades in the OECD.

    Renewable electricity consumption and economic growth nexus – evidence from high-,middle- and low-income countries
    (Işık Üniversitesi, 2024-01-23) Brown, Mustapha Abekah; Şen Taşbaşı, Aslı; Işık Üniversitesi, Lisansüstü Eğitim Enstitüsü, Uygulamalı Ekonomi Yüksek Lisans Programı; Işık University, School of Graduate Studies, M.A. Applied Economics Master Program
    Recent decades have witnessed growing concerns over sources of energy consumption and their role in economic development. Renewable energy and electrification have been touted by experts as a solution to mitigate these global issues. Considering this, the study investigates the intricate relationship between economic growth and renewable electricity consumption between the years 2000 to 2021 across a diverse spectrum of countries categorized by income levels. Renewable electricity consumption and economic growth data was collected for 48 countries. These countries were then further divided according to their income levels. The current study examines the relationship between renewable electricity consumption and economic growth through the lens of four distinct perspectives: the feedback hypothesis, the neutrality hypothesis, the growth hypothesis, and the conservation hypothesis. The Panel ARDL methods including the PMG, MG and DFE were employed to explore the presence of cointegration and the impact of renewable electricity usage on economic growth. The outcome of the methods indicate clearly that green electricity usage has a positive impact on economic growth across all income levels albeit at varying magnitudes. The findings contribute to the understanding of sustainable development and energy policies tailored to the specific economic contexts of countries at various income levels.

    Government expenditure and economic growth in Central and Eastern European economies: a panel ARDL approach
    (İstanbul Okan Üniversitesi, 2023-03) Görkey, Selda
    This study investigates the relationship between government expenditure and economic growth with a primary concern of focusing on the long-run effects. It uses the panel ARDL-PMG approach as an econometric methodology for 11 Central and Eastern Europe (CEE) economies from 1995 to 2019. The findings from the empirical analysis indicate a significant long-run relationship between the two macroeconomic variables; however, the relevant relationship is estimated negatively. The findings for the short-run effects for the whole panel and country-specific estimations also confirm that higher government expenditure results in a statistically significant decline in real GDP per capita. Thus, the findings of this study do not empirically validate the Keynesian theory for 11 CEE economies covered in the research over the 1995-2019 period.

    İktisadi büyümeyi doğadan ilham alan teknolojiler ile yeniden düşünmek: biyomimikri, yapay zekâ ve döngüsel ekonomi
    (Işık Üniversitesi Yayınları, 2025-04-30) Taşbaşı, Aslı
    Üretim 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.
