Can US Wage Increases be Regarded as a Leading Indicator for Bond Rates?
(2020) Acar, Elif Öznur; Acar, Elif Oznur; Özşuca, Ekin Ayşe; 237965; 48566; Uluslararası Ticaret ve Finansman
After the subprime meltdown, the Federal Reserve focused its attention on US non-\rfarm payroll data in order to pave the way for its fund rate hikes. As time went by,\rthe Federal Reserve deemed particularly one sub-component of this data, namely the\rincrements on average weekly wage growth as a proxy for in\ration and thus a plausible\rexplanation for raising the interest rates. In that aspect, we decide to elaborate on this\rissue further and examine whether this implemented strategy indeed had a re\rection in\rthe real market. For doing so, we intend to determine whether there is any causality\rrelation in either direction between US average weekly wage increases and 10-year\rTreasury Bond rates. We utilize the Toda-Yamamoto causality approach and come\rup with a statistically signicant result between wages and bond rates. For robustness,\rwe also consider the unemployment rate and consumption expenditures as independent\rvariables.

EXPLORING THE EFFECT OF CONSUMERS' FOOD-RELATED DECISION MAKING STYLES ON NATIONAL BRAND VS. STORE BRAND CHOICE
(intl inst Social & Economic Sci, 2016) Özsaçmacı, Bülent; Demirgunes, Banu Kulter; Ozsacmaci, Bulent; 19729; Uluslararası Ticaret ve Finansman
It is important for marketers to understand the individuals' buying decisions in a competitive environment. The concept of decision making style is one of the key determinants of consumers' behavioral patterns. This study aims to explore the effects of consumers' decision making styles on buying national and store branded food products. To examine consumer decision making styles, Sproles and Kendall's (1986) The Consumer Style Inventory (CSI) is adopted in the study. The framework of this study is based on eight consumer decision making style, expected to shape consumers' national and store brand choice on food products. The empirical analysis is based on data obtained from consumers living in Kirsehir, a city in Turkey. Questionnaires was handed over to 500 customer of retail stores both selling national and their own brands. Firstly, exploratory factor analysis is used to confirm the model, then multiple regression analysis is used to test the hypothesis and to compare consumer's national and store brand choice, in the context of their decision making styles. The study is expected to help retailers develop suitable strategies for national and store branded food products. In fact it is important to develop a certain and an accurate understanding of consumers' decision making styles for successful marketing and advertising strategies. Besides, different marketing strategies for both national and store branded food products can be tailored to the characteristics of consumers.

Firm Survival in Times of Crisis: Do Innovation and Financing Constraints Matter? Insights from the COVID-19 Pandemic
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Ozsuca, Ekin Ayse; 237965
Utilizing survey data collected over three rounds, this paper investigates the impact of pre-COVID innovation performance, innovation type, sources of knowledge, and the moderating role of financial constraints on survival following the outbreak of COVID-19. The findings pinpoint a strong and positive link between firm survival and innovation, especially process innovation, confirming the ability of innovators to adapt to new conditions as a determinant of survival. Moreover, relying on internal knowledge is found to increase the chance of survival and adaptability to times of crisis. The results further indicate that access to finance strengthens the positive impact of innovation on firm survival/adaptation.
Hedonizm, Hedonik Tüketim Ve Tüketimde Materyalist Eğilimler Üzerine Bir Araştırma
(2019) Özsaçmacı, Bülent; Özsaçmacı, Bülent; Yener, Dursun; Dursun, Tolga; 19729; Uluslararası Ticaret ve Finansman
Modern pazarlama yaklaşımı, tüketicilerin farklı özelliklerini de göz önüne alarak, talepler veihtiyaçlar üzerine odaklanmaktadır. Tüketicileri alışverişe yönlendiren nedenlerin tespiti vebunun yanı sıra hangi pazarlama çabalarının tüketiciler üzerinde daha etkili olduğunun ortayaçıkartılması tüketici literatürü kapsamında üzerinde durulan konulardandır. Hedonizm, genelolarak hayatın her alanında kişinin haz odaklı hareket etmesi anlamını taşımaktadır. Hedoniktüketimin günümüze kadar nasıl şekillenerek geldiğini algılayabilmek için haz kavramın daanlaşılması gerekir. Tüketim olgusunun tek bir değerlendirme boyutuyla ele alınarak tüketicidavranışlarının analiz edilmesi ilgili araştırma konusunun, bilimsel bakış açısını sınırlandırıcıbir rol üstlenebilir. Çok yönlü olan insan öğesinin hem materyalist hem de hazcı bir şekilde elealınarak irdelenmesi tüketici davranışlarına yönelik tespitlerin daha sağlıklı bir şekildeyapılmasını sağlayacaktır. Bu durum aynı zamanda işletmelerin ve pazarlama yöneticilerinpazarlama çabalarını geliştirirken de daha verimli ve etkili stratejiler ortaya koymalarına vesileolacaktır. Çalışmada toplam 318 katılımcıdan elde edilen verilen çeşitli istatistikî analizyöntemleriyle incelenmiş ve hedonik tüketim ile materyalist eğilimler arasındaki ilişki ortayakonmaya çalışılmıştır. Araştırmada kullanılan ölçeklerin yeterli güvenilirlik seviyesine sahipolduğu yapılan analizler sonucunda tespit edilmiştir.
Is There a Financial Accelerator Mechanism in the Turkish Banking Industry?
(2018) Erenoğlu, Ekin Ayşe Özşuca; 237965
This paper empirically investigates the cyclical behavior of price-cost marginsfor Turkish banks over the 2002q1-2017q3 period by exploiting dynamic panel datamodeling approaches. The estimation results indicate that margins behavecountercyclically during economic fluctuations. It appears that Turkish banks’ price-costmargins tend to stay high acting countercyclical during economic downturns, which maylimit the supply of loans and thereby, cause a further reduction in production, deepeningthe contraction. Specifically, several bank-specific characteristics, that is; banks’liquidity, capitalization and size, together with the monetary policy and marketconcentration in the banking industry are found to be crucial in explaining thecountercyclical behavior of net interest margins in Turkey. Furthermore, the recentglobal financial crisis in the late 2008 seems to have a considerable effect on the banksmargins as well. Overall, these findings provide evidence for the existence of “financialaccelerator” at work in the Turkish economy during the period under investigation.

Stationarity properties of renewable energy consumption in the commonwealth of independent states
(Econjournals, 2020) Yasar, N.; 230528
This study investigates the stochastic properties of renewable energy consumption series across 11 Commonwealth of Independent States countries through the period of 1990-2015. For this purpose, along with traditional stationarity analysis recently improved unit root techniques which allows for nonlinear adjustments in the data generating process are used in this paper. Based on our findings we may conclude that, consideration of nonlinearity in regression process causes to more frequent non rejection of the null hypothesis of stationarity. It implies that ignoring possible nonlinearities in time series regression process may lead to some misleading results. Hereby, fluctuations in global energy supply and trade systems influence renewable energy consumption in nonlinear pattern and policy-makers should take it into consideration in terms of proper energy policy implication. © 2019, Econjournals.

Stochastic Pattern of Health Care Spending: Evidence from Nonlinear Panel Data Analysis
(Better Advances Press, 2021) Yasar, N.; 230528
This paper analyses the stochastic pattern of health care spending for 188 countries around the world which are categorized into four groups based on the World Bank income categories. The main motivation of this ar-ticle is to evaluate whether the stochastic features of total health care expenditure varies if decomposed into private and public health care consumption. To achieve this goal, in addition to conventional empirical methods, latterly de-veloped panel stationarity approaches are employed for both linear and nonlinear regression processes. Our results demonstrate that allowing for cross-section dependency between series and nonlinearity in the estimation process may lead to more often rejection of the null hypothesis of unit root for all series in panel data set. © 2021 Better Advances Press.

The Causal Relationship Between Foreign Debt and Economic Growth: Evidence from Commonwealth Independent States
(Sage Publications india Pvt Ltd, 2021) Yasar, Nermin; 230528
This study investigates the relationship between external borrowing and eco-nomic growth in the Commonwealth Independent States during the period 1995-2018. Autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model is employed to determine the co-integration relationship among the series and then vector error correction model (VECM) is used to analyse the causality between external debt and income.The obtained results suggest that there is a negative long-term unidirectional causal relationship running from external debt to GDP presenting a strong evidence of existence of debt overhang hypothesis.The possible reasons for this unidirectional causal relationship can be explained by poor management of provided financial resources and incomplete governance in economic transition process along with structural rigidities and immature institutions in these countries which, in the long term, resulted in insufficient capital charged to service external debt.The policymakers in these post-Soviet countries should not use foreign loans to capitalise the deficits in the economies; instead, they should be more determined in employing these funds in the areas that will create national value-added production and, thus, future income.

The convergence of electricity prices for european union countries
(Springer International Publishing, 2020) Telatar, M.E.; Yaşar, N.; 230528
The goal of achieving a single European market for electricity has been one of the main objectives for European countries since the “Single European Act” of 1988. The main purpose of this study is to examine whether the aim of unified electricity market has been achieved in terms of the convergence of electricity prices. Β-Convergence and s-convergence tests, are applied for 12 European Union states electricity price data through the period of 2003-2017. For this reason, along with conventional applied techniques, recently improved unit root tests are implemented for both linear and nonlinear data generating processes. The results suggest that convergence did not occur for most of the considered countries. © Springer Nature Switzerland AG 2020.

The relationship between energy consumption and economic growth: Evidence from different income country groups
(Econjournals, 2017) Yaşar, N.; 230528
This study analyses the relationship between energy consumption and economic growth for 119 countries during the period of 1970-2015, classified into four groups regarding to the World Bank income ranking. The main motivation of this study is to analyze whether the causal relationship differs between different income groups of countries. For this purpose, panel auto regressive distributed lag boundary approach and Granger causality test were used. The results of the study indicate that the causal relationship between energy use and economic growth differs depending on which income group country belongs to. We conclude that the feedback hypothesis is supported for upper-middle income group in the long run and high-income group, while conservation hypothesis is supported for upper-middle income group in the short run and lower-middle income group in the long run. Finally, neutrality hypothesis is supported for low and lower middle-income groups in the short run. © 2017, Econjournals. All rights reserved.

The relationship between foreign direct investment and CO 2 emissions across a panel of countries
(Springer International Publishing, 2018) Yaşar, N.; Telatar, M.E.; 230528
This paper analyses the relationship between foreign direct investment inflows and pollution emissions for 139 countries during the period of 1970-2015 and the countries are classified into four groups regarding to the World Bank income ranking. The main motivation of this study is to analyse, whether the causal relationship differs between different income groups. For this purpose, panel ARDL (Auto Regressive Distributed Lag) boundary approach and Granger causality test are used. The results of the study indicate that the causal relationship between FDI (Foreign Direct Investment) and CO 2 emissions differs depending on which income group country belongs to. We conclude that, while there is not statistically significant short-run causality relationship running from FDI to CO 2 emission for high income, upper middle income and low income group countries, the pollution haven hypothesis is supported for lower middle income group countries. © Springer International Publishing AG, part of Springer Nature 2018.

(2022) Özsaçmacı, Bülent; Özsaçmacı, Bülent; Dursun, Tolga; 19729; Uluslararası Ticaret ve Finansman
Pazarlama literatüründe marka kişiliği kavramı araştırmalara konu olmaya başladığı dönemden bu yana pek çok kategoride yer alan markaya yüklenen kişilik özellikleri çeşitli karşılaştırmalara konu olmuştur. Bir tüketicinin almak istediği ürünü veya hizmeti seçerken, kendi kimliği ile özleştirmiş olanı tercih edeceği yapılan araştırmalarda ortaya çıkan bir gerçektir. Bu gerçek, pazarlama sürecinde \"marka kişiliği\" kavramının önemini bir kat daha artırmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, hizmet sektöründe yer alan beş kurumsal gayrimenkul danışmanlık şirketinin sahip oldukları marka kişilik özelliklerinden hangilerinin tüketiciler tarafından ön planda tutulduğu araştırılmıştır. Bu araştırmanın uygulama kısmında bir anket çalışması düzenlenmiş ve anket sonucunda elde edilen bulgulara göre, katılımcıların tercih ettikleri kurumsal firmalarla cinsiyete ve yaşa bağlı olarak anlamlı bir ilişkiye rastlanmazken; meslek, eğitim durumu ve gelir düzeyleri ile anlamlı bir ilişkiye sahip olduğu anlaşılmıştır. Ayrıca araştırma kapsamında ilgili firmaların marka kişiliği boyutlarından hangileriyle eşleştiği de ortaya konmuştur.
Yeşil Pazarlama Faaliyetlerinin Yeşil Marka Farkındalığı ve Tüketici Satın Alma Niyeti Üzerindeki Aracılık Etkisi
(2018) Özsaçmacı, Bülent; Özsaçmacı, Bülent; 19729; Uluslararası Ticaret ve Finansman
Bu çalışma, yeşil pazarlama faaliyetlerinde, yeşil marka farkındalığı ile tüketici satın almaniyetleri arasındaki ilişkinin incelenmesini amaçlamaktadır. Bu araştırma, nicel tabanlı ilişkiseltarama modelinde betimsel bir çalışmadır. Araştırmada elde edilen veriler, yapısal eşitlik modelininanalizi için kısmi en küçük kareler (PLS) yaklaşımı kullanılarak, değişkenler arasındaki aracılık etkisiincelenmiştir. Çalışmada anket tekniği kullanılarak Ankara ilinde yaşayan 387 tüketici üzerinde birsaha çalışması yürütülmüştür. Bu çalışma kapsamında yapılan literatür taramaları ve hipotezanalizlerine bağlı sonuçlar, tüketicilerin satın alma davranışlarının, markaların oluşturduğu yeşilfarkındalıktan ve yeşil pazarlama faaliyetlerinden etkilendiğini göstermektedir. PLS yöntemi ileelde edilen sonuçlar ışığında ise, perakende market ürünlerinde yeşil pazarlama faaliyetlerinin yeşilmarka farkındalığı ile tüketici satın alma niyeti arasındaki ilişkiye aracılık etkisi gösterdiğianlaşılmıştır. Bunun yanı sıra tüketicinin eğitim düzeyi ve gelir durumunun ise yeşil markafarkındalığı ve tüketici satın alma niyeti arasındaki ilişkiye kısmi aracılık etkisi göstermektedir. Builişkilerdeki dengelerin değişmesine yol açabilecek birtakım alt unsurların olduğunu belirtmekgerekir. Tüketicinin araştırmaya konu olan markalara ilişkin farkındalığının hangi seviyede olduğu,yeşil marka kavramının fayda ve özelliklerine ilgi duyması önemli göstergelerdir. Tüketicilerin sahipolduğu demografik ve psikografik özellikler de bu ilişkinin anlaşılmasında araştırmaya katkısağlamıştır.
