Uluslararası İşletmelerin Türkiye’ye Yatırımları Ve Belirleyici Etmenler
(2013) Gökmen, Aytaç
Küreselleşmenin getirdiği, ülkeler ve işletmeler için önemli gelişmelerden biri, artık dünyanın dört bir yanında yatırım yapabilmenin olanaklı olmasıdır. Ancak, yatırım yapmak için ön koşul, talebi olan mal ve hizmetler sunmak ve bunları üretecek kaynaklara sahip olmaktır. Ülkelerin sahip oldukları kaynaklar ve diğer olanaklar ise uluslararası işletmelerin farklı yerlerde yatırım yapmalarını sağlar. Türkiye, Avrupa ve Asya’nın kesişme noktasında, birçok ülkeye ve bölgeye komşu bir coğrafyada yer almaktadır. Bu durum ise yerli ve yabancı işletmeleri yatırım yapıp, yeni pazarlara yönelimlerini sağlayabilmektir. Durum daha çok yabancı işletmeler açısından dikkate alındığında ise amaçlanan riskin en az, getirin en fazla olduğu yerlerde yatırım yapılmasıdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı ise, güvenilir yerli ve yabancı kaynaklara dayanarak, Türkiye’nin uluslararası işletmeler açısından sunduğu yatırım olanaklarını ve belirleyici etmenleri değerlendirmektir

Gender Gap in Financial Inclusion: Evidence From Mena
(Univ Oviedo, 2019) Ozsuca, Ekin Ayse
This study aims to analyze the gender dimension of financial inclusion in MENA countries. Using the World Bank's 2017 Global Findex Database, it explores the underlying factors of gender differences in formal financial services usage via Fairlie decomposition method. The findings of the study indicate that a significant portion of the disparity in financial inclusion is attributable to employment, while age and tertiary education are also found as contributing factors to the financial inclusion gap. Another notable finding is that upper income quintiles contribute positively to the gender gap, indeed to a greater extent compared to lower income groups.

Financial Market Segmentation: an Application on Islamic Financial Markets
(Journal Applied Economics & Business Research, 2017) Nakip, Mahir; Gökmen, Aytaç; Nakip, Mahir; Gokmen, Aytac; Mohammed, Salah Awad; Uluslararası Ticaret ve Finansman
Muslim world comprises of a considerable part of the earth's population and there are many Muslim states in the world. People who adopted the Islam religion have a distinctive understanding of life based on Al-Quran, Hadith and Sharia. Therefore, all the deeds of Muslims must be in accordance with the way of Islam and Sharia. Finance is an issue in which Sharia prevails. According to the principles of Sharia, conventional financial applications are not proper for Muslims. Therefore, certain financial instruments and regulations are implemented to comply with the rulings of Islam and Sharia. Moreover, the aim of this study is to analyze the financial markets in Muslim countries resting on dependable international resources such as macro economical and financial indicators, and segmenting them by using statistical methods as Cluster and Discriminant analysis. As a result, it is concluded that financial markets in Muslim countries can be segmented by using certain financial indicators. Yet, financial markets in Muslim countries cannot be segmented by using certain economic indicators but, these indicators can be used to discriminate the financial market segments.
Virtual business operations, e-commerce & its significance and the case of Turkey: current situation and its potential
(Springer, 2012) Gökmen, Aytaç
21(st) century is the age of high technologies penetrated into business leading to virtual businesses and e-commerce applications combined with electronic business (e-business) structures. Virtual businesses are independent and/or partly dependent organizations that have flexible and agile structures to respond the altering business conditions. Yet, electronic commerce (e-commerce) is the exchange of goods and services over the Internet. Both virtual businesses and e-commerce operations enable organizations to have fluid structures, modify the changing conditions, lower expenses, access to new markets and attain new consumers. The e-commerce applications have also been increasing in Turkey at a great pace but not significantly when compared to the total trade volume. For, the aim of this paper is to focus on the virtual businesses, e-commerce, harmonization of the conventional business structures with e-commerce and emphasize the importance of the e-commerce applications in Turkey resting on dependable national and international publications and data. With respect to the research made, it is possible to state that the e-commerce volume of Turkey is increasing as a remedy to cover the foreign trade deficit, but it is still not sufficient when compared to the total trade volume. Additionally, even though Turkey possesses an efficient e-government mechanism and e-signature law to enhance the volume of its e-commerce, the lack of cooperation among parties and standardization as well as the difficulty in adoption of digital transactions would be issues to be tackled in order to develop e-commerce in Turkey

The Relationship Between Inflation, Output Growth, and Inflation Uncertainty: Panel Data Evidence From Selected Industrial Countries
(Nova Science Publishers, Inc., 2012) Omay, T.; Omay, Tolga; Eruygur, A.; Çankaya Meslek Yüksekokulu
In this chapter, we have examined the causal relationships among the inflation rate, output growth rate, and inflation uncertainty for a panel of industrialized countries. For this purpose, we have estimated a PANEL-GARCH model for inflation rate and performed Panel-causality tests using conditional standard deviations of inflation to proxy nominal uncertainty. The relationships among inflation, output growth, and inflation uncertainty have been investigated extensively in the empirical literature for developed countries (e.g., Grier and Perry 1998; Davis and Kanago, 2000; Fountas et al. 2006; Fountas and Karanasos 2007). Our main contribution is to extend the analysis conducted by these studies to a group of developed countries using panel data techniques. The panel Granger test results have showed that the Friedman-Ball hypothesis is not supported by data when applied to the group of countries included in this chapter. This has led us to conclude that a threshold level of inflation does exist before the Friedman- Ball hypothesis applies. On the other hand, the reported test results have provided empirical support for the Cukierman-Meltzer (1986) hypothesis that inflation uncertainty raises the inflation rate in the group of industrialized countries under investigation. Our findings regarding the causal relationship between inflation uncertainty and output growth report a bidirectional relationship between these two variables. While output growth leads to an increase in inflation uncertainty at first lag, this effect is found to be insignificant at fourth lags. However, inflation uncertainty is found to be detrimental for real growth uniformly across the lags considered. Finally, a negative bidirectional causal relation was detected between output growth and inflation. © 2012 by Nova Science Publishers, Inc. All rights reserved.
Türkiye’de Finansal Tabana Yayılma: Mikro Veriye Dayalı Bir Araştırma
(2019) Özşuca, Ekin Ayşe
Bu çalışmada, Türkiye’de finansal tabana yayılma düzeyi ve temel belirleyicileri Dünya Bankası’nın 2017 Küresel Finansal Tabana Yayılma mikro veri seti kullanılarak incelenmektedir. Bu doğrultuda, bireysel özelliklerin (cinsiyet, yaş, gelir, eğitim) yasal finansal hizmetlere erişim ile ilişkisi ve bu özelliklerin finansal hizmetlere erişimi olmayan bireylerin hesap sahibi olması önündeki engelleri nasıl etkilediği incelenmektedir. Çalışmanın sonuçları erkek, daha yaşlı, daha yüksek eğitim ve gelir seviyesine sahip olan bireylerin, yasal bir finansal kuruluşta hesap sahibi olma ve tasarruf etme olasılığının daha yüksek olduğunu göstermektedir. Buna ek olarak, mobil bankacılık üzerinde diğer geleneksel yasal finansal hizmetler kullanımı ile benzer bireysel özelliklerin etkili olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Hesap sahibi olma konusundaki engellere yönelik sonuçlar, her bir bireysel özelliğin yasal bir kuruluşta hesap sahibi olmayan bireyler tarafından beyan edilmiş farklı iradi ve gayri iradi engelleri açıklamada anlamlı olduğunu göstermektedir. Çalışmanın bulguları Türkiye’de finansal tabana yayılmayı arttıracak politikaların oluşturulması açısından büyük önem taşımaktadır.
Tariff negotiations in Rubinstein bargaining model
(2006) Yazıcı, Mehmet
This paper applies Rubinstein bargaining model to tariff negotiations in order to predict the outcome of the bargaining. Following Dixit (1987) and Mayer (1981), we are able to express tariff strategies in the form of reaction functions. This results in a strategy space much larger than that considered in the literature and also in a smooth welfare frontier. Having applied Rubinstein Bargaining model, we have characterized the outcome of the tariff negotiations and given an example, which indicates that the negotiations will lead to free trade when countries are symmetric.
Developments And Prospects In e–Government Implementations In Turkey
(2010) Gökmen, Aytaç
21st century is the age of globalization. Globalization is the process of transforming regional or local developments and phenomena into global realities. Globalization is also a process that unifies the world into a single society which is a combination of economical, social, political and technological influences. The most substantial actor in this process is the Internet and its contributions to data and knowledge procurement among the states, legal and natural persons. Moreover, Turkey is one of the leading states in the world to encourage the use of Internet and e – government implementations to integrate Turkey with that of the world and render premium services to her citizens and other related entities. The e – government which is also known as e- gov, online government or digital government, is a concept to utilize the Internet technology as a means to exchange information, provide services and transactions with citizens, business and other branches of government. Some e – government implementations both in practice and forthcoming in Turkey are e – Government Gateway, Public Sector Network, Informantions Disaster Recover System and Justice Net. It is aimed to constitute and develop knowledge society; to facilitate access to knowledge, decrease time consumption, provide better access to public services and enhance efficiency, ensure transparency and accountability, lower the costs and save sources in Turkey by e- government regulations.

The Impact of Foreign Trade Issues on Economic Growth in Some Developing Countries Including Iran and Turkey
(Routledge, 2017) Nakip, M.; Azari, N.M.; Temiz Dinç, D.; Gökmen, A.
The issue of foreign trade and economic growth have been on the economic agenda for centuries. Foreign trade is a facilitator of goods and services exchange in the global marketplace and is an engine of economic growth in a country. Moreover, economic growth is a means to improve the output, employment opportunities, and welfare, which in turn could make a favorable impact on the positive foreign trade balance. Economic growth is also an essential component of country competitiveness in international markets. Yet, the objective of this study is to analyze the correlation between foreign trade and economic growth in some developing countries, including Iran and Turkey, by using econometrics applications (panel co-integration method and E-views software), also resting on credible national and international publications. Thus, it is estimated in the study that foreign trade has a positive impact on economic growth, resource allocation, energy and green energy consumption, human capital development, and physical capital consumption. © 2017 Taylor & Francis.
Fdı Inflow And Operatıons Of Multı Natıonal Enterprıses & Prıvatızatıon Polıcıes Of Turkey: The Effect Of The Process On The Performance Of The Turkısh Economy
(2012) Gökmen, Aytaç; Temiz, Dilek
Mal ve sermaye akışı özellikle II. Dünya Savaşı'nın sona ermesi ile hızlanmış, doğrudan yabancı sermaye (DYS) yatırımlarının birikimini ve bununla birlikte dünyanın pek çok yerinde de çokuluslu işletmelerin (ÇUİŞ) uğraşılarının artmasını kolaylaştırmıştır. Ancak, DYS yatırımlarının önemli bir devinim kazanması 1980'ler sonrasında olmuştur. DYS yatırımlarının özellikle gelişmiş ülkelerden gelişen ülkelere akması bilgi, teknik beceri, teknoloji, finansal sermaye ve insan kaynağı aktarımını kolaylaştırmış ve de ülkelerin iktisaden gelişmesine ve kalkınmasına katkıda bulunmuştur. Türkiye açısındansa, DYS yatırımları 1980 öncesi çok önem kazanamamış, 1990'lar sonrası artmaya başlamış ve ancak 2000'ler sonrası özelleştirme uygulamaları ile tepe yapmıştır. Türkiye'de DYS politikaları ve özelleştirme, 2002 yılı sonbaharında Adalet ve Kalkınma Partisi (AKP) Hükümeti'nin iktidara gelmesi ile büyük önem kazanmıştır. Türkiye'de birçok çevre AKP'nin DYS ve özelleştirme politikalarının başarılı olduğunu iddia etmektedir. Ancak, çeşitli makroekonomik değerler göz önüne alındığında AKP'nin özelleştirme politikalarının Türkiye Cumhuriyeti'nin ekonomik gücü ve bağımsızlığı açısından bir başarısızlık olduğu söylenebilir. Dolayısı ile, bu çalışmanın amacı DYS kuramı üzerinde durarak, Türkiye'nin DYS ve özelleştirme politikalarını eleştirel açıdan tenkit etmek ve bu konudaki AKP politikalarının başarısızlığını ortaya koymaktır
Tarife Ve Tarife Dışı Engeller: Uluslararası Ticaret Uygulamaları, Ayırt Edici Özellikler Ve Türkiye
(2013) Gökmen, Aytaç
İşletmelerin milli sınırları ötesinde yaptıkları mal, hizmet ya da fayda üretmeye ilişkin eylemler uluslararası ticaret ve yatırım olarak değerlendirilir. 21. yüzyıl itibarı ile artık hiçbir ülke tamı tamına ihtiyacı olan bütün mal ve hizmetleri imal edememektedir. Bu mal ve hizmetlerin tedariki açısından ise uluslararası ticaret faaliyetleri büyük önem arz etmektedir. Ancak, uluslararası ticaret, her ne kadar, Dünya Ticaret Örgütü (DTÖ) uygulamaları ile serbestleşse de, yine de tarife ve tarife dışı olmak üzere bazı engellere konu olmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı ise, tarife ve tarife dışı engelleri kuramsal temelde inceleyip, ulusal ve uluslararası kaynaklara dayanarak ve de ticari gerçekleşmeleri de göz önüne alarak Türkiye açısından eleştirisini yapmaktır.

Symmetric and Asymmetric Relationship Between Maritime Transportation and Foreign Trade Volume
(inderscience Enterprises Ltd, 2021) Dinc, Dilek Temiz; Karamelikli, Huseyin
In this study, the short and the long-run relationship between maritime transportation and foreign trade volume and also the linear and nonlinear characteristics of this relationship were investigated. Linear relations between maritime transportation and foreign trade volume were analysed by the autoregressive distributed lag (ARDL) model, and nonlinear relations were analysed by the nonlinear autoregressive distributed lag (NARDL) model by using monthly data between 2004 and 2018 in Turkey. According to the results, it was revealed that only the short-run asymmetry and long-run symmetry model was statistically valid and that results should be taken into consideration.
A Fuzzy AHP approach for selecting a global supplier in pharmaceutical industry
(2012) Taş, Ayşegül
Our study looks into the strategy that should be pursued for raw material procurement by a pharmaceutical firm operating in Turkey. In this paper, pharmaceutical research companies and food industry chemists operating in the global market in the pharmaceutical industry are examined and a suitable supply strategy is suggested for a company operating in Turkey under the specified criteria. The supplier selection is a multi-criterion problem which includes both qualitative and quantitative criteria. This paper proposes a fuzzy analytic hierarchy process (fuzzy-AHP) to efficiently tackle both quantitative and qualitative criteria involved in selection of global supplier in pharmaceutical industry. Four main criteria and thirteen sub-criteria were identified for supplier selection in this problem. The number of suppliers to be selected under these criteria was identified as four. A numerical example presented illustrates the different selection criteria to select the best supplier in pharmaceutical industry.
Sigara Tüketimini Etkileyen Faktörler Üzerine Bir Uygulama: Türkiye Örneği
(2010) Temiz, Dilek
Türkiye sigara tüketiminde başta gelen ülkelerden birisidir. Günümüzde, sigara geleneksel bir tüketim maddesi halini almış durumdadır. Bu çalışmadaki amaç, 1980-2008 dönemi için, Türkiye’de sigara tüketimini etkileyen faktörleri bir ekonometrik model çerçevesinde incelemektir. Oluşturulan sigara tüketim modelinde, GSMH, işsiz nüfus, 15 yaş ve üstü nüfus, şehir nüfusu, kır nüfusu ve sigara fiyatı sigara tüketimini etkileyen önemli değişkenler olarak alınmıştır. Bu değişkenler ile sigara tüketimi arasındaki ilişki En Küçük Kareler (EKK) yöntemiyle tahmin edilmiştir. EKK yöntemi sonucunda Türkiye’de sigara tüketimiyle işsiz nüfus ve sigara fiyatları ile sigara tüketimi arasında ters yönlü ilişkilerin olduğu; kentleşme oranının sigara tüketiminin azalmasında önemli derecede rol oynadığı; 15 yaş ve üstü nüfus ile GSMH’nin ise sigara tüketimini artıran en önemli değişkenler olduğu sonuçlarına ulaşılmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, sigara tüketimini azaltmak için, Türkiye’de sigara fiyatlarının enflasyon oranının üzerinde arttırılması önerilebilir. Ayrıca, Türkiye’de sanayileşmenin yaygınlaşmasının şehirleşme oranını ve yüksek eğitimli okumuş insan sayısını arttırması ve geleneksel sigara tüketimi alışkanlığının böylelikle değişmesi de mümkün görünmektedir

Dynamic Linkages Between Renewable Energy, Carbon Emissions and Economic Growth Through Nonlinear Ardl Approach: Evidence From Iran
(Public Library Science, 2021) Karimi, M. S.; Ahmad, S.; Karamelikli, H.; Dinc, D. T.; Khan, Y. A.; Sabzehei, M. T.; Abbas, S. Z.
This study examines the relationship between economic growth, renewable energy consumption, and carbon emissions in Iran between 1975-2017, and the bounds testing approach to cointegration and the asymmetric method was used in this study. The results reveal that in the long run increase in renewable energy consumption and CO2 emissions causes an increase in real GDP per capita. Meanwhile, the decrease in renewable energy has the same effect, but GDP per capita reacts more strongly to the rise in renewable energy than the decline. Besides, in the long run, a reduction of CO2 emissions has an insignificant impact on GDP per capita. Furthermore, the results from asymmetric tests suggest that reducing CO2 emissions and renewable energy consumption do not have an essential role in decreasing growth in the short run. In contrast, an increase in renewable energy consumption and CO2 emissions do contribute to boosting the growth. These results may be attributable to the less renewable energy in the energy portfolio of Iran. Additionally, the coefficients on capital and labor are statistically significant, and we discuss the economic implications of the results and propose specific policy recommendations.
Market Reforms, Spatial Price Spread and Market Connectedness: Evidence From Wheat Markets in Pakistan
(2006) Klasra, M.A.
This study, while using the data from 8 wheat markets of Pakistan, examines the extent of spatial price spread and market connectedness during reform and pre-reform periods. It is found that market reforms reduced the spatial price spread in 21 of 28 pairs of markets during reform period. The general view that more near the two markets are, stronger will be the co-movement of their prices, did not get support from empirical evidences. By encouraging the private sector and also limiting the extent of government intervention in the trading activity, correct price signals can be transmitted down to the marketing channel and can guide the farmers to specialize according to their comparative advantages. © 2006 Asian Network for Scientific Information.

(2014) Parıltı, Nurettin; Külter Demirgüneş, Banu; Özsaçmacı, Bülent
In recent years business ethics and social responsibility have gained great importance in marketing practices, especially in societal marketing practices. Businesses infinitely struggle to indicate their contributions to society. Consumers consciously evaluate this contribution. Manipulated consumer choices and unethical marketing applications can affect purchasing behavior. Particularly intense competition, globalization and societal consciousness transform businesses into social organizations and lead them into marketing efforts offering social value. Although business ethics and social responsibility of businesses have gained more attention in recent years, defining consumers’ perceptions on ethical issues is still minimal. This study presents an empirical research of consumer perceptions on ethical issues. Reflection of this perception on purchasing behavior is also another important issue to be considered. The aim of this study is to investigate the factors related with ethical issues in marketing practices and to reveal possible influences of these factors on consumers’ ethical decision making. The main objective of the study is to find out consumers’ perceptions on businesses’ ethical issues such as misleading advertising, deceptive packaging and to reveal the impact of these issues on their ethical purchasing behavior or ethical decision making. It also reveals which criteria is more important for ethical decision making. This study reveals that consumers reflect their ethical perceptions on their purchasing behavior. Each ethical issue has been found to be a positive effect on purchasing behavior. Businesses’ practices on packaging has been indicated as the most effective ethical issue on purchasing behavior. The study is considered to be a significant outcome for businesses to direct their advertising, packaging and other activities.
