5. Pay Inequality in Turkey in the Neo-Liberal Era, 1980-2001

Abstract

This paper examines pay inequality in Turkish manufacturing annually from 1980 to 2001. Using the between-group component of Theil's T statistic, we decompose the evolution of inequality by geographic region, province, sub-sector and by East-West distinction both for private and public sectors. The decompositions show that while inequality remains approximately the same between regions, it increases in the late 1980s in the private sector between provinces, between East and West, and as well as between manufacturing sub-sectors.

19. A Biophysical Approach to Production Theory

Author

Chen, Jing and Galbraith, James K.

Subjects
Physics - Physics and Society
Abstract

Most people agree that human activities are consistent with physical laws. One may naturally think that sensible economic theories can be derived from physical laws and evolutionary principles. This is indeed the case. In this paper, we present a newly developed production theory of economics from biophysical principles. The theory is a compact analytical model that provides, in our view, a much more realistic understanding of economic (as well as social and biological) phenomena than the neoclassical theory of production.
