Income inequality is seen as one of the main socio-economic problems in Turkey, as in all countries in the world, regardless of their development status. This situation indicates the importance of analyzing the relationship between regional growth and income distribution and constitutes the driving force of this study. In this context, the main objective of the study is to determine the effects of central and regional budget revenues and expenditures on income distribution and regional growth in Turkey. In the study, two different models with GDP and Gini coefficient as independent variables were constructed using the annual data within the scope of classification of Statistical Region, SR Level 2 (26 Region) for the period 2014-2022, and tested by the panel data analysis method. According to the results of the analysis, although central budget expenditures have a positive effect on income distribution, regional budget expenditures have a negative effect. In addition, while regional budget revenues positively affected income distribution, central budget expenditures, migration, and growth had no statistically significant effect on income distribution. On the other hand, when the factors affecting growth are analyzed, it is concluded that the effects of regional and central budget revenues are positive, regional budget expenditures are negative, and central budget expenditures, migration of regions, and income distribution are statistically insignificant.

Chain hotels with $1 billion in market capitalization not only contribute to employment creation and indirectly become a driving force in the regeneration of local economies but also play an essential role in recovering local economies with their high revenue per available room (RevPAR) values. Besides, the financial stability of these hotel chains directly influences the popularity of destinations, resulting in an influx of tourists to nearby regions, which in turn generates an economic contribution to the overall development of the tourism industry. Therefore, the aim of this paper is to determine the financial factors that are affecting the RevPAR (RPR), their role in the industry, and the validity of the agency cost theory of nine chain hotels that have at least $1 billion in market capital listed in U.S. stock markets over the period 2013–2022. The results show that, in contrast to the debt service coverage ratio, receivables turnover ratio, and book value per share variables, the day sales outstanding ratio and current ratio have a negative impact on chain hotels' RevPAR.

This study investigates the institutional factors influencing foreign direct investment within the Eurozone of the European Union (EU) and explores their correlation with economic integration. Attracting foreign direct capital investments is closely related to countries' efforts to make their institutional structures more competitive. Because economic integrations can contribute to economic growth by allowing these investments to increase. For his reason, the study focused on the course of foreign direct capital investments in the Eurozone in the 2002-2022 period and the institutional determinants of these investments were analyzed using the panel data method. The empirical analysis revealed that variables such as foreign direct investment, government effectiveness, political stability, and accountability did not experience any significant shocks. In the short term, a direct causal relationship between foreign direct capital investments and corruption has been found. Nevertheless, in the long term, it has been established that variables such as control of corruption, government effectiveness, political stability, rule of law, accountability, and regulatory quality collectively exhibit a causal relationship with foreign direct capital investments. These findings emphasize the importance of institutional structure for increasing foreign direct capital investments. Enhancements in governmental efforts to combat corruption, enhance governance effectiveness, promote political stability, uphold the rule of law, enhance accountability, and improve regulatory quality can significantly contribute to fostering foreign direct investment. In conclusion, this study provides valuable insights into the determinants of foreign direct investment in the euro area and offers guidance for future policy actions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The study aims to investigate the effect of inflation on dividend payments by considering company-specific factors. For this purpose, 38 companies traded on Borsa Istanbul (BIST) and regularly distributing dividends every year between 2013 and 2022 are included in the study. The study examines the effects of inflation, leverage ratio, liquidity ratio, return on assets, return on equity, growth in sales, growth in assets and company age on the dividend payout variable. Panel data analysis, which is an econometric method, was used to analyze these variables. Within the scope of the findings of the study, it is determined that the effect of inflation, which is the focus of the study, on dividend payments is statistically significant and positive. In addition, leverage ratio, liquidity ratio, return on equity, growth in assets and company age are also found to have a statistically significant effect on the dividend payments variable. The results of this study on companies with dividend payment habits in all sectors are expected to guide investor preferences and managerial decisions in inflationary periods. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

This study aims to empirically examining the effect of foreign exchange risk on financial performance, stock returns and profitability of firms. In this study, the effect of foreign exchange risk on firm performance was researched for 23 firms in BIST Informatics Index by using the quarterly data for 2014-2022 with the panel data method. Net foreign exchange position/shareholders' equity and net foreign exchange position/total assets indicated the foreign exchange risk whilst the return on assets, Tobin's Q, and the stock return showed the firm performance. The analysis was conducted by establishing 3 different models. According to the empirical data obtained in the study, it was discerned that the foreign exchange risk affected the firm profitability negatively and stock returns positively while its effect on the firm performance was not statistically significant. Also, it was found that the firm size affected the firm profitability and firm performance positively whilst its effect on stock returns was not statistically significant. Moreover, it was identified that the variable of leverage affected the firm profitability and firm performance negatively whereas its effect on stock returns was not statistically significant.

The concept of political instability has an impact on the decisions of politicians by creating an environment of uncertainty. Politicians who want to come toor stay in power can negatively affect economic growth by making wrong decisions as a result of transferring economic resources to wrong areas in an uncertain environment. Therefore, there is a considerable importance between political instability and economic growth. The present research focused on revealing the quantitative and qualitative differences of the political stability or instability of developed and developing countries on the economic growth rates in the period 2002-2021. Panel data analysis techniques were used in order not to neglect the interdependence of the country groups that are the subject of the research, and also to observe the unique political and economic structure of the countries. The findings obtained from the preliminary tests of the panel data analysis showed that the economic growth and political stability of both developed and developing country groups are essentially in interaction with each other, and that developed countries have managed to maintain their political stability, while developing countries are politically unstable in the relevant period. The estimated panel regression models, on the other hand, show that the improvements in political stability reflect positively on the economic growth rates of both developing and developed countries; however, the emerging economies respond relatively more positively to political stability.

The concept of development has been one of the critical issues that countries have been highly concerned about for years. In general, all efforts aimed at elevating the current socio-economic living standards can be considered within the scope of development. Population growth in countries and the global momentum gained by the competitive environment can sometimes lead to insufficient development efforts. Particularly in countries with limited capital accumulation, these efforts tend to remain at lower levels. To support these constrained endeavors, foreign investments can be of great importance. This study aims to measure the impact of foreign direct investments on regional development. Within this context, the study investigates the effects of growth, inflation, per capita reserves, exports, imports, and foreign direct investments on the Human Development Index (HDI) for the 27 EU countries and Turkey, using the dynamic panel data analysis method. Data from the years 2011 to 2021 are utilized in the study. The analysis conducted using the Arellano-Bond test in dynamic panel data analysis reveals that a positive change in the growth variable will positively affect the HDI. However, it is observed that the other variables do not have a statistically significant impact. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

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.

Without democracy and the alternative channels it brings, it is challenging to guarantee sustainable development. The lack of a democratic dimension of sustainable development research enables citizens and institutions to realize their development visions. In this context, the study aims to investigate the effects of democracy on sustainable development empirically. The relationship between democracy and sustainable development was investigated with the help of the annual data for the period 1990-2019 and the Han and Phillips (2010) method for the E-7 countries. According to the findings, democracy has a statistically significant and positive effect on sustainable development. On the other hand, the variables of GDP, innovation, and renewable energy consumption discussed in the study also have a positive and statistically significant effect on sustainable development. The study's findings show that democracy is a significant factor in promoting sustainable development in E-7 countries.

Gelirin yeniden dağılımı, maliye politikasının önemli amaçlarından biridir. Bu amacı gerçekleştirmek için kullanılan araçlardan biri de vergilerdir. Vergiler, kullanılabilir geliri etkilediğinden, piyasada gerçekleşen gelir dağılımını değiştirebilmektedir. Bununla birlikte, vergi türlerinin sahip olduğu farklı özellikler gelir dağılımı üzerindeki etkilerini de farklılaştırmaktadır. Dolayısıyla vergi türlerinin gelir dağılımı üzerindeki etkilerinin bilinmesi, maliye politikasının gelirin yeniden dağılımı amacının gerçekleştirilmesi açısından önemlidir. Buradan hareketle çalışmanın amacı, dolaylı ve dolaysız vergilerin gelir dağılımı üzerindeki etkilerini incelemektir. Çalışma panel veri analizi ile Türkiye’nin de içinde bulunduğu 30 OECD ülkesine ait 2008-2018 dönemi yıllık verileri kullanılarak yapılmıştır. Çalışmadan elde edilen bulgulara göre; dolaylı vergiler gelir dağılımı üzerinde olumsuz etki yaratırken, dolaysız vergiler olumlu etki yaratmaktadır.

Sürdürülebilir bankacılığa geçişte, bankaların sürdürülebilir uygulamalarını paylaşmaları finansal ve sosyal performanslarını raporlamaları önemli bir adımdır. Türk bankacılık sistemindeki aktif büyüklüğü %7’ler civarında olan katılım bankaları, kuruldukları günden beri büyüyerek sektörün önemli aktörü olma yolunda ilerlemektedir. Katılım bankalarının çevresel ve sosyal risk yönetimi uygulamaları sektörün, sürdürülebilir finansa katkısını arttıracaktır. Katılım bankaları, sürdürülebilirliğe katkılarını sürdürülebilirlik raporları ya da yıllık faaliyet raporlarındaki uygulama açıklamalarıyla kamuoyuyla paylaşmaktadır. Bu açıklamaların bankaların kârlılıklarıyla ilişkisi, olumlu ise bu uygulamaların tüm iş süreçlerine, olumsuz olması ise sadece yasal zorunluluktan dolayı yapmalarına sebep olabilir. Katılım bankalarının kurumsal sürdürülebilirlik raporlamalarının kârlılık üzerinde bir etkisinin bulunup bulunmadığını incelemek bu nedenle önemli bir konudur. Çalışmada panel veri yöntemi kullanılarak katılım bankaların sürdürülebilirlik açıklamalarının kârlılıkları üzerindeki etkisi incelenmiştir. Kârlılık değişkeni olarak Özkaynak kârlılığı (ROE) bağımlı değişken olarak belirlenmiştir. Model Huber – Eicker – White tahmincisi kullanılarak tahmin edilmiştir. Gerçekleştirilen panel veri analizi sonucunda katılım bankalarının kârlılığı üzerinde sürdürülebilirlik açıklamalarının önemli derecede etkili olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Bu sonuca göre katılım bankalarının kurumsal sürdürülebilirliğe ilişkin açıklamalarının, gönüllülük esasına dayalı bir şekilde artarak devam edebileceğini göstermektedir.

Soğuk savaş sonrası dönemde, varlığı tartışmalara konu olan NATO’ya olan ilgi, Rusya’nın son dönemdeki Gürcistan ve Ukrayna savaşları ile yeniden artmıştır. Yeni üye katılımlarının söz konusu olduğu bu dönemde, NATO’nun yetenekleri ve üye ülkelerin askeri harcamaları da tartışmaların ilgi odağını oluşturmaktadır. Kurulduğu günden bu yana özellikle Avrupalı üye ülkelerin askeri harcamaları, sürekli ABD tarafından eleştirilmektedir. 2014 Galler Zirvesi ile resmi bir hedef olarak ortaya konan %2’lik askeri harcama hedefi ile bu tartışmalar yeni bir noktaya ulaşmıştır. Üye ülkelerin GSYİH’nın %2’si kadar askeri harcama yapmasını öngören bu hedefe, acaba üye ülkelerin yakınsaması söz konusu mudur? Bu sorunun cevabını verebilmek için 2015-2021 yıllarına ilişkin veriler ile Stokastik Yakınsama Analizi gerçekleştirilmiştir. Elde edilen bulgular 2021 yılında askeri harcama hedefini sağlayan ülkelerin dışında, İtalya, Norveç, Çekya, Bulgaristan, Hollanda, Danimarka, İspanya, Macaristan, Almanya ve Arnavutluk’ta %2’lik askeri harcama hedefine yakınsamaktadırlar. 2021 yılında %2’lik hedefin üzerinde yer alan ve analiz dışında kalan 10 ülke hesaba katıldığında, hedefi yakalayamayan ülkelerin %50’si, %2’lik hedefe yakınsamaktadırlar. Fakat son yıllardaki Rusya faktörüne rağmen NATO üyesi ülkelerin tamamında %2’lik hedefi yakalama gibi bir işaret olmaması da düşündürücüdür.

Çin’in Wuhan şehrinde 2019 yılının son aylarında ortaya çıkan ve küresel bir sağlık tehdidine dönüşen Covid-19 salgını, bireylerin yaşam tarzlarından ülkelerin ekonomik durumlarına kadar birçok alanda etkili olmuştur. Bu alanlardan birisi de borsalardır. Covid-19’un yarattığı belirsizlikle birlikte ülke borsaları özellikle Covid-19’un Dünya Sağlık Örgütü tarafından pandemi olarak ilan edilmesiyle rekor düşüşler yaşamıştır. Bu araştırmada ise Covid-19 salgınının görüldüğü tarihten günümüze kadar ülke endeks değerlerini etkileme düzeyi tespit edilmeye çalışılmıştır. Bu araştırmada her bir gelir grubuna özgü ekonometrik modeller üretebilmek için panel veri analiz yöntemi uygulanmıştır. Ülkeler Dünya Bankası gelir sınıflaması dikkate alınarak üç farklı grupta ele alınmış ve her bir ülke grubu için ekonometrik modellemeler geliştirilmiştir. Araştırma sonucunda düşük ve orta gelir grubunda yer alan ülkelerin endeks değeri ile aşılanmış kişi sayısı değişkeni arasında bir ilişki bulunmadığı görülmüştür. Yüksek gelirli ülkelerde ise aşılanmış nüfus sayısı ile ülkelere ait endeks değerleri arasında pozitif bir ilişki olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Bu araştırmayı diğer araştırmalardan ayıran temel fark, bu araştırmada bütün ülkelerin gelir durumlarına göre sınıflandırılarak her bir gelir grubuna özgü ekonometrik modellemelerin üretilmesidir. Söz konusu değişkenler makro düzeyde ele alınmış olup Covid-19 salgınının gelir gruplarına göre ülke endeks değerlerini nasıl etkilediği tespit edilmiştir.

The aim of this study is to examine the effect of both renewable and fossil fuel energy consumption on total factor productivity in G20 countries by using fixed effects with Driscoll and Kraay standard errors approach. Analysis results suggest that renewable energy consumption has a positive impact on total factor productivity in the long run. Accordingly, an increase in renewable energy consumption increases the total factor productivity by about 0.007 percent in the long run. Although the coefficient of fossil fuel energy consumption is positive, it is statistically insignificant. In this study, labor force and capital are included in model as control variables. While capital formation increases total factor productivity in the long run, total labor force decreases it. The results highlight the necessity of including renewable energy consumption and capital accumulation in possible policies to increase total factor productivity. Moreover, revising energy consumption policies to encourage renewable sources may be one of the priorities of policymakers to increase the positive impact of renewable energy consumption.
