    Internet Search Volume and Stock Return Volatility: the Case of Turkish Companies
    (IFRD, 2014) Son-Turan, Semen
    This study analyzes the relationship of the volatility of stock returns and internet search volume (ISV). The dataset consists of 10 Turkish companies listed on the BIST-100 Index of Borsa Istanbul, and encompasses the period between January 2004-September 2013. The GARCH (1,1) model is applied with two alternative mean specifications. The use of the novel exogenous variable ISV as proxy for investor sentiment is complemented through the inclusion of trading volume.Results show that as the GARCH (1,1) model becomes increasingly nested, volatility persistence declines with however no case of a vanishing G(ARCH) effect.

    The TRAIN Framework for AI-Assisted Development of Novice Accounting Instructors
    (Springer Science and Business Media Deutschland GmbH, 2025) Son-Turan, Semen
    Novice accounting instructors in higher education, and particularly in specialized fields like accounting, face significant challenges, including the need to frequently update curricula, balance theoretical and practical instruction, master new technologies, and integrate sustainability principles into their teaching. These demands are compounded by limited access to professional development resources and growing pressures for educational sustainability. This study evaluates the potential of AI chatbots to address these challenges by enhancing the capacity of junior instructors to create and deliver effective, sustainability-aligned course materials. It introduces the TRAIN framework (Technology-enhanced Responsible AI Integration for Novice Instructors), a structured model designed to align AI capabilities with Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), particularly SDG 4 (Quality Education) and SDG 4.c (Teacher Training). Through a systematic literature review (2019–2024), the research identifies key themes, including chatbot integration in education, AI’s capabilities and limitations, and its broader implications for accounting education. The findings demonstrate that AI chatbots can streamline content creation, provide personalized instructional support, and foster sustainable teaching practices. By bridging critical gaps in AI literacy and sustainability integration, the TRAIN framework offers a roadmap for empowering educators to meet evolving educational demands while advancing environmentally responsible teaching methodologies. © 2025 Elsevier B.V., All rights reserved.

    Financial Innovation-Crowdfunding: Friend or Foe?
    (Elsevier, 2015) Son-Turan, Semen
    A phenomenon with a considerable past, and with new conspicuous investment models and financial products and servicesproliferated through the Internet; financial innovation seems to be almost ubiquitous these days. While there are numerousadvantages, especially nowadays through the exploitation of easily accessible, low cost and convenient e-commerce platforms,innovation in the finance sector does not come without its perils. Banks and traditional financial institutions are losing chunks ofmarket share to virtual intermediaries and investors are operating in relatively less regulated and, consequently, less secureenvironments. Furthermore, from the perspective of all stakeholders, there is a Knightian uncertainty component of the long-termramifications in investing in and through newly developed products and platforms. As such, it is only recently that economichistory witnessed the outbreak of the sub-prime mortgage crisis caused by the unraveling of a chain of events interlinked throughthe imprudent use of “innovative” derivative transactions involving credit default swaps backed by the insatiable appetite of the“irrationally exuberant” investor and the easement of regulation paving the leeway for predatory lending. This paper investigateswhether and to what extent innovative investment models such as crowdfunding, as the game-changer, forcing the tightlyregulated securities markets to adapt to the rules of the WEB 3.0 era and relieved through the provision, Title III, of the JOBSAct, could be a potential peril. To that end, it discusses the evolution of the equity crowdfunding model in the realm of thetechnology push - demand pull framework and analyzes the current situation of the market.

    Reforming Higher Education Finance in Turkey: the Alumni-Crowdfunded Student Debt Fund "a-Csdf" Model
    (TEDMEM, 2016) Son-Turan, Semen
    This study presents an innovative and sustainable system formobilizing Turkish university alumni to contribute to acrowdfunded pool repackaged as a student debt instrument withan elaborate performance tracking tool, various payoff structuresand income-contingent repayment schedules. The ultimate aim isto offer a remedy for the conspicuous global shortage ofalternative finance sources and various forms of aid to highereducation students in the short-term, and, through enablingequitable and egalitarian access to quality higher education,transforming society and enhancing economic development in thelonger-term. The model rests upon a six-dimensional frameworkand its infrastructure is facilitated by a newly emerged form ofdigitally enhanced financing, “crowdfunding”. The researchmethod involves content analysis and data triangulation forvalidation purposes to determine the sub-themes surrounding thehigher education problem in Turkey. The theme-driven keywordsare searched for on Turkey’s first original social network, EksiSozluk, to uncover trends and biases towards student loans, debtrepayment and associated concepts. Subsequently, the samekeywords are utilized in a Google Trends search volume analysis,and are finally validated by a focus group discussion. Thetheoretical framework to explain students’ attitudes towardsborrowing and loan repayment and the motivation behind alumniand charitable giving, rests mainly on behavioral economics. TheA-CDSF Model uniquely addresses the higher education financeproblem in Turkey and offers an easily implementable originalsolution for institutions and policy makers.

    The Impact of Investor Sentiment on the "leverage Effect"
    (Econometric Research Association, 2016) Son-Turan, Semen
    With the advent of the Internet and the availability of user search query data on a broaderscale, since the early 2000s researchers have started using collective search queryinformation instead of, or, in addition to, traditional investor sentiment proxies. Thisstudy examines whether the leverage (bad news) effect, as measured by theEGARCH (1,1) model, changes with the inclusion of a newly emerging sentiment proxy,internet search volume. The sample consists of 14 US companies belonging to theNASDAQ and NYSE Indices and 501 observations of data collected at weekly frequencyspanning a nine year period. Empirical findings suggest that, inclusion of the investorsentiment variable has no clear impact on the bad news effect; there is, however, adiscernible increase in volatility persistence. The implications of the findings are that theinvestor sentiment proxy has additional informational content. Behavioral finance theoryand the availability and social proof heuristics serve as potential explanations for suchfindings.

    Lean, Green and Clean? Sustainability Reporting in the Logistics Sector
    (MDPI, 2019) Lambrechts, Wim; Semeijn, Janjaap; Son-Turan, Semen; Reis, Lucinda
    Transport and logistics activities contribute heavily to global sustainability problems, yet the implementation of corporate social responsibility and sustainability reporting in the sector lags behind. This paper aims to analyze sustainability reporting in the logistics sector, with focus on environmental, social and economic indicators. An extensive operationalization of sustainability indicators is used to examine and analyze the sustainability reports of 52 organizations in the logistics sector worldwide. Results show that the sector does not agree on the materiality of sustainability indicators. Furthermore, sustainability reporting seems to be incompatible with daily operations, leading to obscurity in reports. This contrast, between the necessary existence of organizations in the logistics sector and their undesirable environmental and social effects, calls for future research into how organizations are coping with this paradox. A viable way forward is needed in order to ensure materiality in the sectors’ efforts toward sustainability reporting.

    (MDPI, 2022) Güner, Elif; Ayan, Büsra; Son-Turan, Semen
    Background: This study presents a comprehensive review of blockchain technology with a sustainability orientation in supply chains and logistics. Methods: The publications are extracted from the Scopus and Web of Science databases, comprising 552 publications between 2017 and 2022. Several bibliometric laws and techniques, namely three-field analysis, Bradford’s Law, Lotka’s Law, and thematic maps, are applied in R with the bibliometrix package. Content analysis is also carried out based on 185 publications to appreciate the industry-based view of the field. Results: The bibliometric results indicate that this field is on the rise. Authors, sources, affiliations, countries, keywords, and their relationships are also addressed. The findings of the content analysis and thematic maps reveal that some of the most highlighted themes in the literature include traceability, COVID-19, the internet of things, and Industry 4.0. The most popular industry in this field is discovered to be food and agriculture. Conclusions: This paper contributes to the still relatively scarce literature on how blockchain technology fosters sustainable supply chains and logistics, providing a closer look at blockchain use, methodologies, and future directions for different industries concerning food, agriculture, fashion, textile and apparel, manufacturing, automotive, maritime and shipping, healthcare and pharmaceutical, mining and mineral, and energy. © 2022 by the authors.
