Climate change is a severe, worldwide problem that affects people’s welfare, health, and future expectations with its effects on agricultural production and the economy. In this direction, the current study covering the period 1990-2019 examined the longand short-term relationships between Climate change, Economic growth (Real GDP), and Food price index in Türkiye. In the study, correlations between Climate change indicators-carbon dioxide emission, temperature, agricultural area series-Food price index, and Economic growth were estimated with the ARDL model. According to the ARDL boundary test results, the effect of Economic growth on the Food price index is lower than the effect of Climate change on the Food price index in the long run. In the long run, the effect of changing carbon dioxide amount on food prices is insignificant. A probable rising temperature and expanding agricultural areas will raise food prices. In the short term, the temperature rising in the past three periods will cause current period food prices to fall, while the decrease in agricultural areas in the previous period will cause food prices to rise. The study observed that Food prices have been more affected by Climate changes. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Energy consumption is of great importance for the sustainable development of a country in terms of economic, social and environmental aspects. In financial development, it is an important factor for a country's economic growth, stability and prosperity. In the paper, the nexus among energy consumption, financial development, economic growth and trade openness were tested using the ARDL method for the period 1980-2020. In the study, the square of financial development was also included in the analysis, and the nonlinear relationship between energy consumption and financial development was also examined. The findings showed that there is an inverted U-shaped relationship between energy consumption and financial development. Accordingly, initially, financial development increases energy consumption, but after a certain point, energy consumption begins to decrease. In addition, it has been determined that economic growth positively effects energy consumption in both the short and long term, while trade openness negatively effects. Analysis of the relationship between financial development and energy consumption will be an important step to understand the economic, environmental and social effects of energy policies and to build a sustainable energy future.

The purpose of this study is to investigate the impact of various macroeconomic indicators on environmental degradation and explore the question of whether these indicators are an ecological solution or a crisis. In this perspective, the long-term effects of globalization, financial development, and economic growth on environmental degradation were examined with the common correlated effects estimator, based on the 1992–2018 data period for the BRICS-T countries (Brazil, Russia, India, China, South Africa and Turkey). The findings show that economic growth increases environmental degradation, while financial development and globalization do not have a statistically significant effect on environmental degradation.

Corruption has an important role in many economic, political and social problems all over the world. Studies on this subject reveal the negative consequences of corruption both theoretically and empirically. On the other hand, it is also possible that effective economic policy instruments can lead to successful results in the fight against corruption. However, when determining these policies, it is important to consider the impact of the level of development of countries on the perception of corruption and to develop instruments to combat corruption accordingly. This study empirically tests the impact of fiscal policy instruments on the perception of corruption in Turkey and aims to identify the policies that should be prioritised in the fight against corruption. In the study, the effect of public expenditures, tax burden, borrowing, per capita growth and unemployment indicators on the corruption perception index between 1999 and 2022 is estimated by the least squares method. According to the empirical findings of the study, public expenditures, policies to reduce unemployment and the increase in GDP per capita have a positive effect on the perception of corruption. On the other hand, tax burden and borrowing have no effect on the perception of corruption. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Consumer loans play a driving role in economic growth by creating an important momentum in the economy. In this context, the aim of the study is to examine the relationship between economic growth and consumer lending between 2006Q1-2020Q2 in Türkiye. In the study, the rate of change in the chained gross domestic product with the seasonal and calendar adjusted expenditures method as the growth variable, the volume and amount variables as the lending variable, and Biggs et al. (2009) credit impulse (the ratio of changes in credit flows to economic growth) variable, which is introduced to the literature, is used. In addition to the credit impulse in the literature, two more credit impulse models are installed, and these models are also included in the analysis. ADF, Phillips-Perron, KPSS and Fourier KPSS unit root tests are applied to the variables in the analysis. The causality relationship between the variables is examined by Fourier Granger causality and Toda Yamamoto causality tests. According to the results of the Fourier Granger causality test, consumer credit volume and consumer credit impulse, calculated with annual real volume and GDP data, is the reason for economic growth. According to the results of the Toda Yamamoto causality test, consumer lending amount and consumer credit impulse, calculated with annual real volume and GDP data, is the reason for economic growth.

According to the Austrian School of Economics, economic growth is unsustainable when the interest rate structure is different from the time preferences of economic units. Expansions achieved in this way result in recession. In this article, the relationship between changes in the maturity structure of interest rates and total economic activity is examined. In the empirical part of the article, the relationship between consumption, investment, production, and monetary policy was studied using Johansen cointegration and Granger casuality tests. Spread between natural (long term) and market (short term) interest rates was used as a proxy for the monetary policy. The model was estimated using Republic of Turkey data from 2007Q4 to 2022Q2. According to the results of the Johansen cointegration test, there is no long-term relationship between the variables. The results of the Granger causality analysis show that the difference between the natural rate of interest and the market rate of interest is that it affects production through the investment and consumption channel. The results of the empirical study are consistent with Austrian theory. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Developing countries are strongly interested in attracting foreign direct investment to improve the lack of capital and finance economic growth. To do this, they usually implement less stringent environmental policies for foreign investment. However, this strategy comes with the expense of more pollution and environmental disasters in some cases. This study aims to reveal the relationship between foreign investment, growth, and environmental pollution. However, the type of investment matters when it comes to pollution. Thus, we consider the components of foreign investment as greenfield and brownfield investments, where the former is an investment made from scratch and the latter is a purchase of an existing firm. The empirical analysis covers the period between 1990 and 2020. The primary data sources are the World Bank and OECD. We used three VAR models to investigate the effects of greenfield and brownfield investments on carbon emission and growth. We highlight that the change in total foreign direct investment and greenfield variables was statistically significant in explaining the change in CO2 emissions, but brownfield investments were found to be statistically insignificant in explaining CO2 emissions.

Today, although female workforce is employed more than in the past, it lags behind the employment level of male workforce due to various factors. Insufficient employment of the female workforce also brings along various problems. Therefore, the factors affecting women's employment have been discussed in various studies. In this study, the effects of education and economic growth on women's employment are analyzed for women in different age groups. In the study, panel data analysis was applied by using the 2005-2020 period data of Austria, Australia, Colombia, Portugal, Finland and Turkey. In this context, firstly homogeneity and cross-section dependency tests were performed, and then, based on the results, it was decided which unit root tests would be applied. After applying the unit root tests, it was decided that it would be appropriate to perform the cointegration analysis and the Westerlund cointegration test was applied. Finally, the dynamic least squares (DOLS) method was applied to determine the coefficients. According to the results obtained from the analyzes, it is seen that both education and growth variables negatively affect the unemployment rates of 25-29 years old women. While it was seen that the education variable did not have a significant effect on the female unemployment variable aged 29-34; it has been determined that the effect of the growth variable on the 29-34 years old female unemployment variable is negative. Based on all these, it can be said that education reduces the employment of women in the 25-29 age group, which can be considered as the young age group, but loses its effect over time, and economic growth often positively affects women's employment.

Foreign direct investment (FDI) is one of the instruments that plays an important role in the economic development and economic growth of countries. Apart from the physical capital and competitiveness they add to the countries, they are structures that contain many advantages such as employment, technology, management and the concept of supervision. They include a commitment to a long-term business effort in a foreign country. Therefore, where they prefer as a location depends on many criteria. This study focuses on measuring the performance of selected G-20 countries in terms of inward FDI flows. In this context, the factors affecting inward FDI flows in countries were compiled using literature and investment reports, and the collected data were evaluated by applying the COPRAS (Complex Proportional Assessment) method. The empirical findings show that the countries with the best performance in foreign direct investments are China, USA and India, respectively. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This research focused on the relationship between corruption and environmental taxes in OECD countries with economic development. In this context, the period of research countries between 1995 and 2019 was analyzed with the help of panel data estimators. Driscoll-Kraay fixed effects estimated results showed that environmental taxes in OECD countries negatively affected economic growth. The impact of corruption on economic growth has been found to be positive. Accordingly, declining corruption has spurned economic growth. In addition, the estimated results of arellano, froot and rogers random effects showed that corruption positively affected environmental taxes. The panel quantiles results revealed that the impact of environmental taxes on growth differs according to different slices of economic growth. Environmental taxes in low cantiles supported growth, while lowering high cantiles. The moderator role of corruption in the relationship between environmental taxes and economic growth is positive. This finding is important in that it shows that declining corruption supports economic, social and environmental development in OECD countries. In this respect, the research findings support the view of sand the wheels. In addition, increased corruption has been found to reduce environmental taxes. Environmental taxes aim to improve the quality and sustainability of the environment in the countries where they are applied. Therefore, the research findings supported opinions that argue that corruption negatively affects environmental quality and sustainability. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In countries, economic recovery and sustainable economic growth are largely dependent on exports and especially high technology exports. In many studies with theoretical and empirical approaches, factors associated with the volume and performance of high-tech exports have been identified. The aim of this study is to try to evaluate the relationship between some factors identified in previous studies and high technology exports at the level of high-middle income countries. For this purpose, the period between 2000 and 2019 of 26 High-Middle income countries with appropriate data has been analyzed with panel ARDL method. According to the results of the analysis, a positive relationship has been found between high technology exports and research and development expenditures, gross capital formation, trade openness and economic freedom index variables in the long run, while a negative relationship has been found with foreign direct investment. In the short run, there is no relationship between the variables. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study analyzes the shares of the sectors that make up the whole economy in total employment and compares the sectoral productivity. In developed countries, productivity differences between sectors have been minimized; however, in countries that do not base their structural transformation on productivity, productivity gaps between sectors are high and employment is concentrated in certain sectors. In order to increase productivity and make economic growth sustainable, it is necessary to achieve structural transformation and increase the productivity of the sectors themselves. First of all, in this study, the changes in sectoral employment and added values in Turkey are analyzed by calculating the structural transformation index with sectoral data between the years 2009-2019. In addition to structural transformation, sectoral decomposition analysis is carried out and the within effects of sectors and the effect of structural transformation on total productivity are examined. The results of the study show that the structural transformation did not occur during the selected period, while the increased productivity was due to the internal effects of the sectors in accordance with the literature.

Easterlin Paradox states that there is a linear-logarithmic relationship between income and life satisfaction. Accordingly, the increase in income level increases the life satisfaction level of individuals at the beginning, but after a point this effect becomes stable. In this study, the Easterlin Paradox is discussed at the macro level. For this purpose, a heterogeneous data set consisting of a large group of countries was used. In order to determine the most appropriate functional form for the relationship in the paradox, a unique method was used, unlike the studies in the literature. Expressed as fractional polynomial models, this method uses non-integer powers of variables to determine the structure of functional relationships. This method has the advantage of determining the best fit from a large set of models. In the study, fractional polynomial models were used by integrating panel data models. According to the results, there is a sigmoid, cubiclogarithmic relationship between life satisfaction and economic growth. Accordingly, in countries with low economic growth, while the effect of income on life satisfaction increases exponentially, in countries with high growth, this effect first increases similar to the logarithmic structure, then this increase loses its effect but does not become stable. So although the Easterlin Paradox is more likely to prevail in high-income countries, it cannot be said to be exactly valid. In contrast to the more general findings obtained by classical methods, the use of fractional polynomial models enabled more detailed results regarding the validity of the paradox.

The institutional approach to economic theory, claiming that the economy cannot be evaluated independently of the effect of the institutional, has been frequently included in the growth literature since the 1990s. In line with this view, the effects of institutional structure on economic growth were investigated for the Eastern European transition economies sample. The study, in which panel data analysis was used, covers the years 2006-2017. In the study, indices related to the institutional structures of the countries, obtained from the World Economic Forum Global Competitiveness Index were used. Analysis results show that institutional quality and quality of public institutions affect economic growth positively. Accordingly, 1% change in the institutional quality index affects the GDP by approximately 0.29% and the GDP per capita by 0.37% in the same direction. The effect of 1% change in the quality of public institutions index was determined to be approximately 0.35% and 0.43%, respectively. According to the findings, it can be said that the implementation of policies that will encourage institutional development in the sample countries will play an important role in ensuring a sustainable economic growth.

The effects of arms imports, which is the major defense spending item, on the macroeconomic performances of developing countries is a long-debated issue. Therefore, this study aims to determine the impact of arms imports on economic growth, which lead to large deficits in the balance of payments of Turkey. Among the defense spending items, the arms imports have the greatest impact potential on the economies of countries. For this purpose, Bounds Testing based on the structural break Autoregressive Distributed Lag Model (ARDL) was performed to determine the impact of the arms import on economic growth, using the 1990-2017 period data of Turkey. According to the test results of the study, no statistically significant correlation was found between the arms imports in Turkey and economic growth in the short run, but it was found that the arms imports have a negative impact on the economic growth in the long run.

The relationship between public spending and national income has been the subject of research for many years in the economic literature within the framework of various theories and perspectives. In the study, this relationship is analyzed within the framework of Keynes and Wagner's theories for the Turkish economy. Granger causality test and Vector autoregression (VAR) model are used to determine this relationship and the current theory. In the study in which 1998-2018 period data is used, it is concluded that there is no causal relationship between the variables. On the other hand, according to the impact-response analysis in the established VAR model, shocks in public expenditures are determined to have an impact on GDP for approximately five periods. In addition, according to the results of variance decomposition, it is seen that public expenditures are an important factor in explaining GDP. The findings reveal that the Keynesian hypothesis is valid for the Turkish economy. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Recently, the interest in the problems caused by growth-oriented policy implications which are at the center of macroeconomic policies has increased gradually. Revealing the background dynamics of this interest that is increasing due to both economic and political, social and cultural factors, is impossible to discuss without taking the effects of the phenomenon of globalization. Therefore, together with the globalization that has permeated to all strata of society since the end of the 20th century, the literature which emphasises changing of environmental balance has become prominent. In this context, it he study, environmental Kuznets hypothesis is tested by taking economic, political and social globalization indicators into account for Turkic Republics that compose of Turkey, Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Tajikistan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan, with panel ARDL methods for 1991-2014 period. The results show that the negative impact of the economic growth on carbon emission arises the per capita income level of nearly $2,830, and after that there is a N-shaped relationship between them. In addition, the findings reveal that political and social globalization reduce carbon emissions while it increases economic globalization and energy use. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of the study is to test the relationship between tax revenues, foreign direct investments and economic growth, using panel cointegration and panel causality analyses for fragile five countries (Brazil, Indonesia, India, South Africa, Turkey) for the period of 1980-2018. Panel cointegration test results show that there is long term relationship between the variables. Panel VECM causality test results also show that there is a bidirectional causal relationship between tax revenues and economic growth in the long term while there is a one-way causality relationship from economic growth to tax revenues in the short term. Moreover, panel VECM causality analysis results show that there is a one-way causality relationship from foreign direct investments to both economic growth and tax revenues in the long term. These findings reveal that economic policies regarding the economic growth, tax revenues and foreign direct investments for these countries is more effective in the long term. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The study aims to examine the effects of foreign trade and current account balance on economic growth for 1984- 2016 period. As a result of the least squares method and regression analysis for the period, it is determined that both foreign trade and current account balance have negative effects on the growth rate. According to the least squares method 31% of the changes in growth are explained by current account balance and 39% are explained by the balance of foreign trade. According to the model with dummy variable that is included in order to reveal the impacts of economic and social events while 43% of the changes in growth are explained by current account balance, 50% are explained by foreign trade balance. Three models are estimated in the study. In order to measure the impact of economic and social events, a dummy variable is added, and the fourth model is estimated. In conclusion, it is found that for sustainable growth to be attained with current account surplus or lower current account deficit, domestic savings need to be increased. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Today, economic growth and the factors of economic growth are one of the important topics of discussion topics. In this context, there is an increasing emphasis on the role of institutions in explaining the economic growth of countries. However, there is no consensus on which institutions and governance indicators are more important. The aim of this study is to examine empirically the effects of institutions on economic growth in all income group countries. In this study, the data obtained from World Bank World-wide Governance Indicators for the 23 less developed, 63 developing and 48 developed countries are examined in the 2002-2018 period and analysed two-stage system generalized moments method. Empirical results show that institutions are important for economic growth of countries. Among the institutional quality indicators, regulatory quality appears to be the most important factor for explaining the increase in GDP per capita in all countries. In addition, government effectiveness is very important for economic growth. While the indicators of voice and accountability, rule of law and the control of corruption affect economic growth positively and significantly, the effects of coefficients are low compared to other indicators. Political stability and However, it is important to note that only the quality of institutions cannot be sufficient for economic growth. The study reveals that structural factors such as government expenditures, gross capital accumulation, population growth rate, inflation and liberalization of trade have an important impact on economic growth. The findings of the study show that institutions are important in economic growth. Therefore, for a stable and permanent growth, countries should give priority to institutional strengthening policies. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

Increased electricity consumption as a result of countries‟ economic development indicators has caused the examination of the contribution of electricity consumption to economic growth by scholars and policymakers. This study aims to demonstrate the relationship between the electricity consumption and the economic growth in the light of data on sectorial level that come from Turkey‟s 81 provinces. In this respect, the relationship between electricity use and economic growth in government facilities, industrial facilities, commercial facilities, residential and other facilities (agricultural irrigation, street lighting, etc.) of 81 provinces for the period 2004-2016 was analyzed using Panel ARDL Boundary Test. According to the test results, a positive relationship was found between the amounts of long term electricity consumption in commercials and residential and the reel GDP of the provinces. However, a negative relationship was also found between electricity consumption in government facilities, industrial and other sector facilities. Further, , the results showed that electricity consumption of all the sectors has positive and significant coefficients in the short term. The residential electricity consumption was found to possess the highest effect among the variables affecting the real GDP values of the provinces both in the long term and short term. When the analysis is examined in terms of provinces, it is observed that though the long-term coefficients are common, the short-term results differentiate. It is seen that error correction coefficient gives significant results only in 21 provinces among 81 provinces. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

İt’s a fact that nationalism is an important source of motivation in the appearance of folklore as a self-contained branch of science. While the folklore studies are completing it’s first year in Turkey when the relationship between the folklore and nationalism, it’s understood that folklore has a different structure from the west where it is instutionalised. This is because the folklore that drive the emergence of the ıdea of nationalism and the development of the west and Turkey showing different ways. Together with the geographical discoveries, colonical movements, nationalism and appearance of the nation states in the west, the ıdea of nationalism which is rooted in the west, capitalism and globalization progress in the tradition has given way to the folklore studies. In the west, the recognition of the emerging interest, the awareness of public information then has led the process of self-recognition. However, the idea of nationalism in the west, the situation with the economic expansion has caused folklore studies to reach beyond the borders. In the west, the political strategies of folklore studies as a means of nationalism fed back turned to the purpose of recognition of the other one. Orientalism of this process has emerged as the most systematic form. In Turkey, the ıdea of nationalism was born and developed in the axis of folklore studies. However, since nationalism in Turkey has emerged as a reflex of self-preservation, it hasn’t been turned into motive to dominate the other. The framework will be examined within the scope of this study and the relationship between folklore and nationalism will be tried to be compared with the west. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
