Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 4Economic Geography and Human Capital Accumulation in Turkey: Evidence From Micro-Data(Routledge, 2021-02-24) Karahasan, Burhan Can; Bilgel, FıratThis study examines the impact of market access on human capital accumulation in Turkey. Using individual-level data, the analysis explores the background of human capital accumulation, combining market accessibility, wages and human capital development. Upon the treatment of wages as an endogenous covariate of interest and overtime work as an exogenous source of variation, we find evidence that the impact of market access on human capital development vanishes in ways not predicted by the augmented New Economic Geography set-up for human capital accumulation. Findings confirm that economic policies may be effective in reducing regional variation in human capital endowments.Article Citation - WoS: 8Citation - Scopus: 8Market Access and Regional Dispersion of Human Capital Accumulation in Turkey(Wiley, 2020-05-27) Karahasan, Burhan Can; Bilgel, FıratBuilding on early advances in development economics, the theoretical construct of new economic geography asserts that geography plays a crucial role in educational human capital accumulation. Based on this expectation, this study investigates the impact of market access on provincial human capital accumulation in Turkey. Results indicate that market access matters for understanding why some regions lag behind others in terms of average years of schooling. Our results are robust to the inclusion of spatial mechanisms, different specifications of the spatial weight matrix, endogeneity and alternative measurements of market access and to a host of other factors that affect regional human capital accumulation.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 3Determinants of Turkish Female Labour Force Participation: an Analysis With Manufacturing Firm-Level Data(Taylor & Francis, 2020-01-05) Karamollaoğlu, Nazlı; Soybilgen, BarışCompared to other developing countries, Turkey has a very low female labour participation rate. Previous studies usually focus on the labour supply side of female employment. Unlike the previous literature, this paper investigates firm-level determinants of female employment in manufacturing firms using a unique micro data set constructed using different sources. After controlling for geographical variation, firm, and industry-specific factors, our results show that larger firms, exporter firms, firms with higher part-time worker ratio, and foreign-owned firms have higher female employment rate whereas younger firms, firms with higher labour productivity, and firms with long working hours have lower female employment rate.Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 6Does the Unification of Health Financing Affect the Distribution Pattern of Out-Of Health Expenses in Turkey?(Wiley, 2019-04-07) Çınaroğlu, Songül; Başer, OnurTurkey has implemented health reforms for over a decade and has taken significant steps toward unifying health financing. This study investigated the financial burden associated with out-of-pocket (OOP) expenditures under universal health coverage, using national 2003–2015 household budget data from the Turkish Statistical Institute. Progress was evaluated using Kakwani–Suits indices and Lorenz concentration curves. The results indicate that overall, more than a decade after its unification, redistribution of wealth in the Turkish health financing system has benefitted the wealthy but not the poor. Both curve and index approaches (Kakwani index 2003 = -0.50; 2015 = -0.44) reveal an increasingly regressive pattern of OOP health expenditures. The effective use of fiscal space and good political leadership are essential for the successful continuation of reforms to combat poverty in Turkey.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 5Does Credit Composition Matter for Current Account Dynamics? Evidence From Turkey(Taylor & Francis, 2016-06-06) Toraganlı, Nazlı; Ertuğrul, Hasan MuratBased on a dynamic approach using the Kalman filter we depict effects of time-varying interactions between different components of credit stock on the current account in the Turkish Economy for the period 2002Q3–2014Q3. We decompose the credit stock into consumer and non-financial corporate sector credit and show empirically that both types of credit stock have negative effects on the current account dynamics
