Yayın Location and determinants of productivity: The case of the manufacturing industry in Turkey(M E Sharpe Inc, 2011-11-01) Falcıoğlu, PınarDiscussions in this paper are based on arguments from the geography, economic, and management literatures suggesting that exploring the spatial reasons for productivity in Turkey became significantly important after Turkey became a candidate country. The aim of this paper is to complement the findings of the studies on productivity differences in Turkey's manufacturing industry by exploring the spatial determinants of productivity at the regional level. The discussion is based on an econometric analysis for the years between 1980 and 2000. The results suggest that related variety, proximity to core areas, high wages, and capital intensity contribute to regional productivity.Yayın Historical analysis of economic, social and environmental impacts of the Europe-Asia crossings in Istanbul(Taylor & Francis Inc, 2016) Alpkokin, Pelin; Black, John Andrew; İyinam, Şükriye; Kesten, Ali SercanAchieving economic, social, and environmental sustainability of urban transport is one of the great contemporary societal challenges. By tracing urban land-use and transport policies and technological change in transport over a 60-year period in a case study of Istanbul, the authors demonstrate the displacement of more sustainable modes of transport (ferry, walking, and public transport) for a more automobile-dependent metropolis with road bridges across the Istanbul Strait (Bosphorus Strait). This article describes the main features, history, and status of the Europe-Asia crossings in Istanbul, thus framing a discussion of sustainability issues. Its originality is a discussion of sustainability through the economic, social, and environmental impacts of Europe-Asia crossings based on both a historical perspective and future prospects in order to assess whether current policies are leading toward more sustainable outcomes. The article concludes by emphasizing the impacts of policy decisions on transport infrastructures and highlighting some suggestions for policymakers.Yayın The new labor skills in the new economy(Springer, 2014-03-06) Falcıoğlu, PınarIn the last 30 years a dramatic change has been observed in the supply and price of skilled labor relative to unskilled labor. The aim of this chapter is to review the recent empirical literature on the changing demand for labor skills, to define the scope and direction of change in labor skills and to explore the reasons of the observed change, especially on the labor skills demanded in knowledge based global economy. Findings on the reasons of skill change are important for the study aims of this book because they lead to results and consequently to implications to be used in the distribution of earnings and employment of the workforce. The empirical research identifies the main reasons of the observed change in skills as the interactions of technological change, organizational change and globalization.
