The automotive sector has a large share of the global economy. In recent years, sudden and sharp increases in the exchange rate in Türkiye have also caused automobile prices to soar. Many factors cause the prices of second-hand automobiles to increase. The study aims to investigate the existence of asymmetric information and the factors affecting the prices of secondhand automobiles in Türkiye. There is a large body of research on the macroeconomic factors affecting second-hand automobile prices. However, the study examines the micro factors affecting automobile prices. The sample consists of 6,262 second-hand automobiles in Türkiye. The model consisting of many independent variables (brand, type of transmission, fuel type, ownership status, additional equipment information, damage information, etc.) is analyzed using multiple and logistic regression. The results show that brand and traction type are the two most important factors affecting the prices of second-hand automobiles in Türkiye. However, damage and additional equipment information and ownership status do not affect the prices of second-hand automobiles. Asymmetric information exists in the automobile markets in Turkey.

Reproductive performance in goats is one of the important trait which has a major effect on commercial farm income. The objective of this study was to evaluate the factors effecting reproductive performance of Turkish Saanen goats with using Logistic Regression. The records of Turkish Saanen goats, aged 2 - 4 (2.05 ± 1.19), were used in this study. Data were analyzed with using stepwise multivariate logistic regression analyses. The response variable was pregnancy and the model included milk yield, insemination type and insemination day. As a result, milk yield at the insemination day (P<0.001) was one of the major factor with insemination type (P<0.05) and the increase in insemination day (P<0.05) was tend to be significant factor for the likelihood of pregnancy and were determined as the main factors. Milk yield at the insemination day 99.9% effects pregnancy and artificially inseminated goats were 2.4 times less likely to become pregnant than the naturally inseminated goats. The increase of insemination day also caused 30.0% increase in likelihood of pregnancy. As a conclusion, milk yield on the insemination day is the most significant factor affecting the pregnancy likelihood in Saanen goats. On the other hand, artificial insemination is not very effective to get higher pregnancy rates in Saanen goats. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The aim of this study is to investigate the main determinants of the participation decision of labor force in Turkey. The variables that affect labor force participation are estimated by logistic regression analysis using data from the 2008 Household Budget Survey for both rural-urban and female-male divisions. The results indicate that the most influential factors are annual disposable income, education, age, size of household and marital status. In Turkey, rural-urban and female-male divisions annual disposable income negatively affects decision to participate in labor force. Higher education level and size of household increase the probability of participating. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this study, the domestic and foreign banks operating in Turkey are compared by their financial performances, and the effects of foreign capital on the performances of the banks are analyzed. A logistic regression analysis using profitability, efficiency, liquidity and risk factors variables are performed using data from domestic and foreign banks. The data was gathered from domestic and foreign banks operating in Turkey during the period of 2002- 2007. The results of the study show that domestic banks are more efficient compared to foreign banks with respect to performance criteria. On the other hand, especially when FDG/TA, AKKAR and FK/TA variables are considered, the foreign bank's efficiency increased. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study attempts to explore the factors influencing women's decision not to enter the labour force in urban Turkey. It adopts an approach which emphasises women's socio-demografic characteristics and their family backrounds. The evidence comes from a Household Budget Survey for the year of 2003 conducted by the Turkish Statistical Institution. Factors underlying female labor force participation are discussed on the basis of two logistic regression models: one for the whole data set, the other for the subset of married women. The findings of the models indicate the importance of marital status, husbands'education, economical status and the number of children as determinants of non-participation. Odds of non-participation decreases for the unmarried status. It is much more likely for single women to participate in the labour force. University and higher graduates are more willing to participate compared to less educated women. When the income situation of household improves women tend not to participate in the labor force. On the other hand, willingness to non-participate is positively affected by the number of children. The age groups of children do not keep married women from working outside the home. Therefore, it is not the age groups of children, but the number of children which affect the nonparticipation decision of married women. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
