The tourism sector is directly and enormously influenced by COVID-19. The main aim of this study is to investigate the effect of COVID-19 on health tourism income and tourism income. The tourism income and health tourism income of Turkey are used for the 2002Q1-2020Q4 period for time series analysis. For both variables, the structural break is detected for the 2020Q1 period. The main conclusion of this study is that actual tourism income is 60% less than the forecast value while health tourism income is 39% less. One way causality from health tourism income to tourism income is found which indicates forward linkages of health tourism.

This article analyses the effect of social capital on entrepreneurship in Europe, distinguishing between formal and informal social capital. The analysis is based on an integrated dataset on 27 European countries from the European and World Values Surveys. Social capital has a significant impact on entrepreneurship that differs according to its formal and informal components. Men use the opportunities opened up to individuals in Europe by formal social capital through involvement in organisations to access wage employment. Women tend instead to take advantage of formal social capital to turn to entrepreneurship. Informal social capital, through strong interpersonal relationships, facilitates entrepreneurial activity.

This paper investigates the effect of R&D expenditures of the manufacturing industry on the productivity of the manufacturing industry for OECD countries. In this study, different from the previous studies, the share of manufacturing value-added in total value added is utilized instead of productivity of the manufacturing industry. The main independent variable is the share of manufacturing R&D expenditure in total R&D expenditure. The main aim of this study is to question the R&D and productivity relation on the basis of share increase. Due to the percentage nature of the variables, unlike other studies, the panel Tobit model is used. Also, autocorrelation and heteroscedasticity problems corrected by applying the dynamic jackknife procedure. The findings indicate that “the value-added share of the manufacturing industry in total” increases by 1.8% if “the share of R&D expenditures of the manufacturing industry in total” is doubled.

The economic outreach of tourism businesses has undoubtedly had a significant contribution to the economic growth of countries and regions. Attracting tourists to the tourist provinces is an important regional growth and development issue. The main aim of this study is to present the factors influencing the tourism location choice of both foreign and domestic tourists. Cross-sectional spatial analysis is applied to Turkish province-level data for 2002-2019, and the time and spatial effects of regional tourism demands are considered. Lisa and Geary’s cluster maps provide the regional clusters. Accordingly, Bitlis, Siirt and Tunceli are the common low-tourist number provinces surrounded by low-ranking provinces (low-low cluster), whereas Burdur is the common low province surrounded by high-ranking provinces (low-high cluster). Both domestic and foreign tourist location choices were strictly influenced by their choice in 2002, i.e., time consistency in location choice is valid. The loc...

The economic outreach of tourism businesses has undoubtedly had a significant contribution to the economic growth of countries and regions. How to attract tourists to the touristic provinces is an important issue for regional growth and development. The main aim of this study is to present the factors which influence the choice of tourism location of both foreign and domestic tourists. In this study, the time and spatial effects of regional tourism demands are taken into consideration. To test the hypothesis Turkish NUTS3 level data for 2002-2019 is used. The number of arrivals to accommodation establishments is utilized as a proxy for tourism location choice. Cross-sectional spatial analysis is chosen to test the hypothesis. Lisa and Geary’s cluster maps give the regional clusters. For both tests; Bitlis, Siirt and Tunceli are the common low tourist number provinces which are surrounded by low ranking provinces (low-low cluster) meanwhile Burdur is the common low province surrounded by high ranking provinces (low-high cluster). Both domestic and foreign tourist location choices were strictly influenced by their choice in 2002, i.e time consistency in location choice is valid. All the choices do not depend on whether or not the province is on the seaside or inland, contrary to our expectations. Foreign tourist location choice is affected by locals almost three times that of the local people from the foreigners. Most importantly, location choice made by foreign tourists is spatially dependent although this is not true for domestic tourists according to the spatial autocorrelation results.

The smart specialization strategy (S3) has been accepted as a solution for the European Union (EU) to catch up United States in productivity, R&D intensity, etc. The process of research and innovation strategies for smart specialization (RIS3) is described in six steps: the regional/national context, governance, elaboration, identification of priorities, the definition of coherent policy mix and action plan, and finally, the integration of monitoring and evaluation mechanism. In this chapter, the situation in Turkey is evaluated under these six steps. RIS3 strategy is not specified on the national level at Turkey, while it is debatable on the regional level.

This paper investigates the relationship between economic performance and innovation in Turkey, while also taking into account the crucial mediating effect of the institutional environment. We carry out an in-depth analysis of the recent shifts in STI policy making in Turkey. The emphasis is on the innovation support policy instruments, and their effectiveness, as well as on the formulation of national STI targets, sector priorities and targets in the field of human resources. A number of concerns are expressed for the effectiveness of policy instruments and for the attainability of national STI targets. In the second part using firm-level data from an innovation survey pertaining to 2008-2010, an econometric exercise is conducted in order to test for the effectiveness of innovation support in Turkey. Innovation support is treated alternatively as an exogenous and endogenous variable. Findings indicate a positive impact innovation support in general. Innovation support granted by lo...

Network between the firms reveal the knowledge spillovers which is inevitable for economic growth of a country for neoclassical economists. In this study, existence of intra- OIZ and intra-industry knowledge spillovers in Ankara is tested by the help of an export decision function. As it considers the spatial dependence between the regional units, the spatial econometric method is preferred. The data set is taken from the “Field Research Survey” of SMEDO. The spatial effect is one third of the total effect for intra-OIZ relations while it is one fourth of the total effect for intra-industry relation for Ankara.

The main aim of this study is to analyse the impact of institutional factors on financial development in Islamic Cooperation Organization Countries. The ratio of domestic credit given to the private sector to GDP is used as a proxy for financial development; income level, broad money, foreign direct investment, trade openness, saving rate, inflation, unemployment rate, exchange rate, final government expenditure, and external debt are utilized as determinants of financial development; corruption index and four sub-levels of economic freedom is used as a proxy for the institutional quality level. According to the linear dynamic panel data estimation by using 1995-2018 panel data, it has been found that the reduction of corruption, the rule of law, regulations effectiveness, and open markets positively affected financial development; however, government size negatively influenced financial development.

The main objective of the study is to explore the relationship between Research and Development (R&D) investments and export behaviour in EU countries in the aspect of competitiveness. To this end, the micro-aggregated Community Innovation Survey 3 (CIS3) is used. Both the volume and the decision of R&D investment and export are found to be mutually dependent. Particularly, in manufacturing industry, the effect of export on R&D is underestimated and the one of R&D on export is overestimated. In the knowledge intensive sectors, circular causality link is broken between the R&D and export.

This article analyses the effect of different forms of capital – financial, human and social – on entrepreneurship in Europe. We distinguish between formal and informal aspects of social capital. We use European and World Values Surveys Four-wave Integrated Data File focusing on the 27 European Union Member States. We found a significant effect of social capital on entrepreneurship that varies within its formal and informal aspects. Formal social capital has a negative effect on entrepreneurship, while informal social capital positively influences entrepreneurship. We also find that the effect of formal social capital is different for women and immigrant entrepreneurs. Formal social capital has a positive and significant effect in explaining entrepreneurship among women and immigrants.

Research and development (R&D) activities are of great significance in the long term development of firms and R&D expenditures have been studied by economists including Romer. This paper sets out to investigate the effects of R&D spillovers at provincial level with specific reference to Turkey. To serve this purpose, data published by Turkish Statistical Institute have been employed. The paper covers the period from 2003 to 2007. The number of data points is 342 subsequent to the aggregation of data at the firm level. Of the data aggregated, it has been found out that 162 of them are zero. While running the spatial econometric estimations, inverse distance and neighboring matrices were employed as the weighting matrix. The determinants of R&D activities employed in the study are size, represented by the number of employees; qualified labor, represented by the number of R&D employees; technology transfer represented by expenses for licensing; foreign ownership, Pavitt sector dummies,...

Sürdürülebilir kentler, in-sanın doğa ile uyumunun sağlanmasını ve afetlere karşı kentlerin hazır olmasını sağlarken akıllı kentler ise bilgi iletişim teknolojilerini kullanarak afetler sonrasında kentlerin daha planlı bir şekilde toparlanmasına yardımcı olacaktır. Bu sayede de afetler karşısında şehirler çaresiz kalmayacaktır. Türkiye'de ulusal ya da sektörel afetle mücadele politikası izlemektense, bir niş olarak kent ortaya çıkmaktadır. Türkiye tarihinde afet kaynaklı en büyük kaybı yaşadığımız 1999 Marmara Depremi bu kavramlar dâhilinde incelenecektir. Türkiye'de sürdürülebilir ve akıllı kentler kapsamında kaderci, iyileştirici, reaktif bir devletten, kendine güvenen, koruyucu ve pro-aktif devlete dönüşümün sağlanması gerekmektedir. Kentlerin afetlere karşı hazırlıklı olabilmesi için hem sürdürülebilir hem de akıllı olması gerektiği aşikârdır.

Öz Gelişmiş ve gelişmekte ülkeler arasındaki en önemli farklardan birisi de ihracatın yapısıdır. Gelişmiş ülkelerde özellikle ileri teknoloji ihracatının payının diğerlerine göre daha fazla olmasıdır. Bu çalışmada temel amaç araştırma geliştirme (Ar-Ge) harcamaları ve ileri teknoloji ihracatı payı arasındaki ilişkiyi saptamaktır. Diğer çalışmalardan farklı olarak OECD ülkelerinin ileri teknoloji ihracatının toplam içindeki payı bağımlı değişken şeklinde ele alınmıştır. 1998-2017 yılları arasında 35 OECD ülkesi Genelleştirilmiş Momentler Yöntemi (General Method of Moments GMM) türü dinamik panel veri analizi ile incelenmiştir. Ar-Ge harcamaları, Ar-Ge'deki araştırmacı sayısı, ülke GSYİH'sinin toplam OECD içindeki payı, kişi başına reel GSYİH, genel hükümet toplam tüketim harcamaları, eğitime yapılan toplam hükümet harcamaları, net doğrudan yabancı yatırım girişi ve reel döviz kuru değişkenleri ileri teknoloji ihracatının belirleyicileri olarak kullanılmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda OECD ülkelerinde Ar-Ge harcamalarındaki artışın ileri teknoloji ihracatının payını arttırdığı saptanmıştır. Abstract One of the prominent difference between the developed and developing nations is the structure of the export in developed countries. The share of high-tech exports are especially higher than the others. The main aim of this study is to determine the relationship between research and development (R&D) expenditures and high technology exports. Different from other studies, the share of high-tech exports are chosen as a dependent variable. This study is covered for the period 1998-2017 and for 35 OECD with General Method of Moments (GMM) type dynamic panel data analysis. R&D expenditures, researchers in R&D, the share of counties' GDP in total OECD, real GDP per capita, general government total consumption expenditures, total government expenditure on education, net foreign direct investment inflows and real exchange rate are used as the determinants of high-tech exports. As a conclusion, it is found that increases in R&D expenditures enlarge the share of high-tech exports in OECD countries.

Özet Bu çalışmanın temel amacı bir finansal gelişme ölçütü olan finansal kesim içerisindeki tasarruflar ile ekonomik büyüme arasındaki ilişkiyi farklı ülke gurupları için araştırmaktır. Bunun yanında faiz oranları ve ekonomik büyüme arasındaki etkileşim de incelenecektir. Söz konusu ilişkilerin incelenmesi amacı ile Granger nedensellik analizi OECD ülkeleri ve yükselen piyasalar için kullanılmıştır. Finansal gelişme ölçütü olarak ele alınan, tasarruf ile ekonomik büyüme arasında bu iki ülke grubu için test sonuçlarına göre bir ilişkinin olmadığı görülmüştür. Diğer taraftan iki ülke grubu için faiz oranlarında görülen değişimlerin de tasarrufları artırıcı yada azaltıcı herhangi bir etkiye sahip olmadığı anlaşılmıştır. Faizlerde görülen değişimler, gelişmiş ekonomiler olan OECD ülkeleri ile yükselen piyasalar için ekonomik büyüme açısından farklı sonuçlara neden olduğu izlenmiştir. Yükselen piyasalarda faiz oranları ile ekonomik büyüme arasında negatif yönlü bir ilişki varken OECD ülkelerinde bu ilişki pozitif yönlüdür.

In the coup histories of Turkey; its basic character, design, structure and implementation process of July 15 Coup attempts differ fundamentally from the previous 1960s and 1980s coups d'états. The most important difference is that the coup attempt has not changed government hands, unlike the previous coups. Therefore, recent failed coup attempt did not succeed in dragging Turkey into a new economic and political instability. Media and communication tools have made an important contribution to the prevention of the coup attempt as well. In order to analyze the effect of coups and coup attempts on the Turkish economy, both yearly and daily data for econometric analysis is used in this paper. Purpose of this study is to reveal the effect of coups in 1960 and 1980 and to compare the July 15 coup attempt with these coups. The results indicate that the July 15 coup attempt has had little or even short-term negative impact on GDP with annual data econometric analysis. In daily analysis, the short-term (immediate or daily) effect is an increase in the exchange rate and an increase in the stock market. In the long run (6 months), both the exchange rate and the interest rates have raised permanently. Consequently, the effect of the 2016 coup attempt is one tenth of 1960 coup, and one fifth of 1980 coup.

The smart specialization strategy (S3) has been accepted as a solution for the European Union (EU) to catch up United States in productivity, R&D intensity, etc. The process of research and innovation strategies for smart specialization (RIS3) is described in six steps: the regional/national context, governance, elaboration, identification of priorities, the definition of coherent policy mix and action plan, and finally, the integration of monitoring and evaluation mechanism. In this chapter, the situation in Turkey is evaluated under these six steps. RIS3 strategy is not specified on the national level at Turkey, while it is debatable on the regional level.

The tourism sector is directly and enormously influenced by COVID-19. The main aim of this study is to investigate the effect of COVID-19 on health tourism income and tourism income. The tourism income and health tourism income of Turkey are used for the 2002Q1-2020Q4 period for time series analysis. For both variables, the structural break is detected for the 2020Q1 period. The main conclusion of this study is that actual tourism income is 60% less than the forecast value while health tourism income is 39% less. One way causality from health tourism income to tourism income is found which indicates forward linkages of health tourism.
