    (2023-06-26) Görkey, Selda; Şen Taşbaşı, Aslı
    This 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.

    The determinants of capital structure decisions: new evidence from Turkish companies
    (Elsevier Science B.V., 2016) Güner, Ayşegül
    This 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.
