Article Citation - WoS: 4Citation - Scopus: 4Institutional Quality and Geography of Discontent in the Eu(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2023-12-12) Pınar, Mehmet; Karahasan, Burhan CanThere has been a significant rise in anti-establishment votes in the European Union (EU). The decline in socio-economic outcomes and migration played an important role in understanding the rising discontent. However, none of the existing studies analysed the effect of socio-economic factors in different institutional settings. Our findings confirm that institutional quality is of paramount importance in explaining the recent rise in populism in the EU, as institutionally developed EU regions are less opposed to EU integration. Remarkably, the effects of socio-economic factors on populist votes vary in different institutional settings. The findings highlight that institutional improvements are vital for the EU perception of less developed and socio-economically isolated EU regions.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Effects of Vaccination and the Spatio-Temporal Diffusion of Covid-19 Incidence in Turkey(John Wiley and Sons Inc, 2022-06-04) Bilgel, Fırat; Karahasan, Burhan CanThis study assesses the spatio-temporal impact of vaccination efforts on Covid-19 incidence growth in Turkey. Incorporating geographical features of SARS-CoV-2 transmission, we adopt a spatial Susceptible–Infected–Recovered (SIR) model that serves as a guide of our empirical specification. Using provincial weekly panel data, we estimate a dynamic spatial autoregressive (SAR) model to elucidate the short- and the long-run impact of vaccination on Covid-19 incidence growth after controlling for temporal and spatio-temporal diffusion, testing capacity, social distancing behavior and unobserved space-varying confounders. Results show that vaccination growth reduces Covid-19 incidence growth rate directly and indirectly by creating a positive externality over space. The significant association between vaccination and Covid-19 incidence is robust to a host of spatial weight matrix specifications. Conspicuous spatial and temporal diffusion effects of Covid-19 incidence growth were found across all specifications: the former being a severer threat to the containment of the pandemic than the latter.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 8Arbitrageur Behavior in Sentiment-Driven Asset-Pricing(World Scientific Publishing, 2021-09-01) Kılıç, Erdem; Oğuzhan, Göksel; Goksel, OguzhanThis study aims to model arbitrageur behavior in a sentiment-driven capital asset-pricing model under the premise of reflecting a more detailed decomposition of investor types in the equity markets. We explore the behavior and the impact of arbitrageur behavior, particularly, on pricing and on key financial ratios. We observe that the prevalence of the arbitrageur counteracts the effects of unsophisticated investors, resulting in a lower volatility of the price–dividend ratio, lower predictive power of changes in consumption for future price changes and lower equity premium. Thus, the results of our research allow us to conjecture that the extrapolation bias in the prices is lowered.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: 19Citation - Scopus: 20Guns and Homicides: a Multiscale Geographically Weighted Instrumental Variables Approach(Wiley, 2019-12-23) Bilgel, FıratThis article assesses the locally varying effects of gun ownership levels on total and gun homicide rates in the contiguous United States using cross-sectional county data for the period 2009–2015. Employing a multiscale geographically weighted instrumental variables regression that takes into account spatial nonstationarity in the processes and the endogenous nature of gun ownership levels, estimates show that gun ownership exerts spatially monotonically negative effects on total and gun homicide rates, indicating that there are no counties supporting the “more guns, more crime” hypothesis for these two highly important crime categories. The number of counties in the contiguous United States where the “more guns, less crime” hypothesis is confirmed is limited to at least 1258 counties (44.8% of the sample) with the strongest total homicide-decreasing effects concentrated in southeastern Texas and the deep south. On the other hand, stricter state gun control laws exert spatially monotonically negative effects on gun homicide rates with the strongest effects concentrated in the southern tip of Texas extending toward the deep south.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 6Health Outcomes Among Patients Diagnosed With Schizophrenia in the Us Veterans Health Administration Population Who Transitioned From Once-Monthly To Once-Every Paliperidone Palmitate: an Observational Retrospective Analysis(Springer, 2019-08-08) Khouyr, Antoine El; Wang, Li; Joshi, Kruti; Patel, Charmi; Başer, Onur; Huang, Ahong; El Khoury, AntoineThere is limited literature on treatment patterns, healthcare resource utilization (HRU), and costs among patients who transition from once-monthly paliperidone palmitate (PP1M) to once-every-3-month paliperidone palmitate (PP3M) in a real-world setting. Hence, this study compared treatment patterns, HRU, and costs 12-month pre- and post-PP3M transition among Veteran’s Health Administration (VHA) patients with schizophrenia.Conference Object A Comparative Analysis of the Health Care Utilization and Costs of Patients Diagnosed With and Without Liver Cancer in the Us Medicare Population(2017) Ogbomo, A.; Lin, Y.; Keshishian, A; Xie, L; Yuce, H; Başer, Onur...Conference Object Spatial Distribution of the Total Number of Medical Devices in Turkey: a Classification Analysis(Elsevier Science Inc, 2016-11-01) Cinaroğlu, S.; Başer, OnurObjectives: The unbalanced distribution of medical technologies and devices between rural and urban areas is a major problem for developing countries including Turkey. After the establishment of Public Hospital Unions (PHUs) in Turkey, legislative changes were made to improve the autonomy of public hospitals. This study utilizes spatial analysis to assess the distribution of medical device use in Turkey using PHUs as a decision making unit. Methods: Data from the PHUs’ statistics year book for the year 2014 was assessed. The total number of PHUs is 89. A Hierarchical cluster analysis was performed to classify PHUs according to the total number of medical devices. The Euclidean distance measure and Wards methods were used in the analysis for classification. Results: Study results show that, in Turkey, PHUs were categorized into two clusters based on the total number of medical devices available. Regarding the spatial distribution of the clusters, the first cluster represents PHUs in rural areas, and the second represents PHUs located in urban areas of Turkey. PHUs representing large cities with high population density were included in one cluster, and all other PHUs were included in the second. Statistical test results indicated that the two clusters differ according to the total number of magnetic resonance imaging (MRI: t= -14.10, p< 0.01), computed tomography (CT) scan (t= -15.75, p< 0.01), mammography (t= -11.40, p< 0.01), ultrasonography (t= -14.62, p< 0.01), and electrocardiography (EKG; t= -12.29, p< 0.01) equipment available. Conclusions: It is advisable for health policy makers and health technology assessment authorities in Turkey to focus on the differences between rural and urban areas of the country when determining the need for medical devices.Conference Object The Role of Stakeholder Engagement in E-Health and the Use of Big Data To Predict Health Outcomes(2017) Cinaroğlu, S.; Başer, Onur...Conference Object Socio-Economic Status and Self-Rated Health: Are They Good Predictors of Income? an Analysis of Survey Panel Data From Turkey(Elsevier Science Inc, 2016) Çınaroğlu, Songül; Başer, Onur...
