Supply Response of the Wine Industry in Turkey
(Asia Life Sciences, 2011) Sakarya, Arif Orçun; Sakarya, Arif Orcun; Temiz, Dilek; Temiz, Dilek; İşletme; Uluslararası Ticaret ve Finansman
Regarding the high wine production potential; the main goal of the study is to discover whether there is a long run relationship between wine production, wine net export and demand and to display the possible contribution of latter variables on wine production in Turkey. Following the wine market overlook; related contribution is analyzed by using annual time series data for the years 1961-2005, the Johansen cointegration test and ordinary least squares method. The empirical findings have shown that, as the wine net export or the wine demand increases, wine production also increases in Turkey. Cointegration test has proved that there is a long run relationship between wine production and the other variables.

Labor Mobility Across the Formal/Informal Divide in Turkey Evidence From Individual-Level Data
(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2017) Acar, Elif Oznur; Tansel, Aysit
Purpose - This paper, the first one to use individual-level Turkish panel data, examines the labor market transitions in Turkey along the formal/informal employment divide. The purpose of this paper is to contribute to the limited body of empirical evidence available on mobility and informality in the Turkish labor market. Design/methodology/approach - Toward this end, the authors use Turkish income and Living Conditions Survey panel data for 2006, 2007, 2008 and 2009 to compute the Markov transition probabilities of individuals moving across six different labor market states: formal-salaried (FS), informal-salaried, formal self-employed, informal self-employed, unemployed and inactive. In order to examine the nature of mobility patterns in more detail, the authors then estimate six multinomial logit models individually for each transition adopting a number of individual and employment characteristics as explanatory variables. Findings - The authors find evidence that mobility patterns are fairly similar across different time spans, the probability of remaining in initial state is higher than the probability of transition into another state for all the labor market states, except for unemployment, there is only very limited mobility into the FS state. Gender, education and sector of economic activity are observed to display significant effects on mobility patterns. The results reveal several relationships between the covariates and likelihood of variant transitions. Research limitations/implications - This study provides a comprehensive and detailed diagnosis of the Turkish labor market. The market is observed to display a rather static structure throughout the period considered. The results indicate that a well recognition of underlying dynamics may help policy makers to produce various effective tools for addressing informality. Originality/value - First study to analyze labor market mobility across formal/informal sectors using newly available panel data.

Real Exchange Rates and Job Flows: Evidence From Turkey
(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2018) Islam, M. Qamarul; Yazici, Mehmet; Dogan, Ergun
This study investigates the effects of the real exchange rate on job flows in Turkish manufacturing industries between 2006 and 2015 using data at the four-digit NACE Revision 2 level. Using dynamic panel data models, we find that a real appreciation increases gross and net job creation rates, and that the effect of appreciation is magnified as the exposure to international competitiveness of industries increases. We think that this is because Turkish manufacturing firms import a greater share of their inputs compared to the firms in developed countries. Hence, an appreciation creates more jobs because lower imported input costs enable firms to outcompete foreign producers.
