Article Citation Count: Doğan, E., İslam, M.Q., Yazıcı, M. (2017). Firm size and job creation: evidence from Turkey. Economic Research-Economska Istrazivanja, 30(1), 349-367. http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/1331677X.2017.1305804Firm size and job creation: evidence from Turkey(Routledge Journals, 2017) Doğan, Ergün; Islam, M. Qamarul; Yazıcı, Mehmet; 43080; 144084This study examines the relationship between firm size and job creation by using an extensive data set covering all non-farm Turkish businesses with 20 or more employees from 2003 to 2010. We find that small firms (firms with employees between 20 and 100 employees) have higher mean job flow rates (job creation, job destruction and net job creation rates) than large firms. Firm size and job flow rates are inversely related, and this relationship is especially prominent for firms with 50 employees or more. Although the overall pattern observed is also observed in both sectors, job creation rates in services are higher than the ones in manufacturing. The magnitudes of job destruction rates are comparable across sectors. Higher job creation rate in services but comparable job destruction rate results in higher net job creation rate in services. As for shares, only for smaller firms (20-49 and 50-99 size categories), job creation shares are greater than their shares in employment. But these firms have disproportionate job destruction shares as well. We also find that only the 20-49 category firms contribute to net job creation more than their share in employment. The smaller firms have high disproportionate shares in job creation and destruction in manufacturing and services as well.Article Citation Count: Doğan, Ergun; Wong, Koi Nyen. (2010). "Plant Size, Turnover and Productivity in Malaysian Manufacturing", RePEc.Plant Size, Turnover and Productivity in Malaysian Manufacturing(2010) Doğan, Ergun; Wong, Koi Nyen; 43080Malaysian manufacturing has an asymmetrical structure: small and medium-sized enterprises dominate in numbers, but contribute relatively little to total output, employment, and exports as compared to their larger counterparts. In light of an increasingly competitive environment arising from globalization, a sound knowledge of turnover patterns within the sector by plant size and its potential impact on aggregate productivity growth is imperative. We find that turnover, particularly of large plants, makes a substantial contribution to overall productivity growth in manufacturing. Hence, from a policy perspective, facilitating turnover might be as important as supporting existing plants in promoting aggregate productivity growth.Article Citation Count: Doğan, E., Islam, M.Q., Yazıcı, M. (2018). Real exchange rates and job flows: evidence from Turkey. Applied Economics, 50(42), 4489-4499. http://dx.doi.org/ 10.1080/00036846.2018.1458190Real exchange rates and job flows: evidence from Turkey(Routledge Journals, 2018) Doğan, Ergün; Islam, M. Qamarul; Yazıcı, Mehmet; 43080; 14480This study investigates the effects of the real exchange rate on job flows in Turkish manufacturing industries between 2006 and 2015 using data at the four-digit NACE Revision 2 level. Using dynamic panel data models, we find that a real appreciation increases gross and net job creation rates, and that the effect of appreciation is magnified as the exposure to international competitiveness of industries increases. We think that this is because Turkish manufacturing firms import a greater share of their inputs compared to the firms in developed countries. Hence, an appreciation creates more jobs because lower imported input costs enable firms to outcompete foreign producers.Article Citation Count: Doğan, Ergün; Wong, Koi Nyen (2020). "Sources and Channels of International Knowledge Spillovers in ASEAN-5: The Role of Institutional Quality", Journal of International Development, Vol. 32, No. 4, pp. 470-486.Sources and Channels of International Knowledge Spillovers in ASEAN-5: The Role of Institutional Quality(2020) Doğan, Ergün; Wong, Koi Nyen; 43080Association of Southeast Asian Nations (ASEAN) is a dynamic and outward-looking regional economy, which has made notable progress in expanding trade and investment. This paper examines whether knowledge spillovers are prevalent among ASEAN-5, focusing on the issues of which channels and which sources are the potential drivers of total factor productivity. The findings reveal that the key spillover channels are exports and non-capital imports coming from source countries such as the Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development (OECD) countries, the G7 countries. The institutional quality plays an instrumental role in increasing total factor productivity through foreign direct investment, especially when the spillovers originate from the OECD and the G7.

Panoeconomicus, 64(3), 297-314. http://dx.doi.org/10.2298/PAN150130029ATrade openness and industrial growth: evidence from Nigeria(Savez Ekonomista Vojvodine, 2017) Adamu, Fahad Muhammad; Doğan, Ergün; 43080This study examines the long-run and short-run relationship between industrial production and trade openness in Nigeria during the period from 1986 to 2008 by using quarterly data. It employs the ARDL bounds testing methodology developed by M. Hashem Pesaran, Yongcheol Shin, and Richard J. Smith (2001). The results of both the long-run analysis and the short-run error correction model (ECM) indicate that trade openness has a significant and positive impact on industrial production. The Toda-Yamamoto causality analysis shows that there is one-way Granger causality, running from trade openness to industrial production.Article Citation Count: Doğan, E., Wong, K.N., Yap, M.M.C.

Journal Of The Asia Pacific Economy, 18(1), 26-50. http://dx.doi.org/10.1080/13547860.2012.742714Turnover, ownership and productivity in Malaysian manufacturing(Routledge Journals, 2013) Doğan, Ergün; Wong, Koi Nyen; Yap, Micheal M.C.; 43080Applying Foster, Haltiwanger, and Krizan's decomposition of productivity growth method to Malaysian manufacturing census data for 2000 and 2005, we analyze if firm turnover by ownership (domestic vs. foreign) has any impact on the sector's aggregate productivity growth. The findings show that turnover matters regardless of ownership, but more importantly, attracting foreign direct investment inflows could induce positive net entry effect'. The analysis shows that large-sized foreign and domestic entrants are more productive than medium-sized and especially small-sized ones. The study provides important implications for government policies based on ownership and firm sizeArticle Citation Count: Doğan, E., Wong, K.N., YAp, M.M.C. (2017). Vertical and horizontal spillovers from foreign direct investment: evidence from Malaysian manufacturing. Asian Economic Papers, 16(3), 158-183. http://dx.doi.org/ 10.1162/ASEP_a_00560Vertical and horizontal spillovers from foreign direct investment: evidence from Malaysian manufacturing(MIT Press, 2017) Doğan, Ergün; Wong, Koi Nyen; Yap, Micheal M.C.; 43080Given developing countries' dependence on foreign direct investment (FDI) in manufacturing, it is important to assess the benefits that accompany FDI, given the cost of incentives that are used to attract foreign investments. We empirically analyze FDI spillover effects in Malaysia using unpublished establishment-level data, accounting for domestic firm size, the market orientation of local firms and foreign multinationals, and firm technology level and absorptive capacity. We find weak evidence of horizontal spillovers; backward and forward spillovers are negative in most cases. Because these results raise concerns about the technological capability of local firms, government policies on technology, human resource, education, and R&D should address this.
