    Türkiye'de Çocuk Yoksulluğu
    (2024) Telseren, Özge; Acar, Elif Öznur
    Bu çalışma, ilk olarak yoksulluğu ve çocuk yoksulluğunu tarihsel süreç içerisinde inceleyerek, yoksulluğu tanımlamayı ve çocuk yoksulluğunun neden ayrı olarak ele alınması gerektiğini açıklamayı amaçlamaktadır. Daha sonra çocukların aileye bağımlı olduğu gerçeği göz önünde bulundurularak, hane halkı geliri, ebeveynlerin çalışma durumu, ebeveynlerin eğitim düzeyi, tek ebeveynlik, hane büyüklüğü ve yapısı, konutun mülkiyet durumu ve konut içi yoksunluklar, bölgesel ekonomik farklılıklar gibi bilgiler ışığında çocuk yoksulluğu incelenecektir. Dünyada ve ülkemizde çocuk yoksulluğuna ait veriler kullanılarak çocuk yoksulluğu incelenecek ve ardından çözüm önerileri sunulacaktır.

    An Empirical Analysis of Household Education Expenditures in Turkey
    (Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2016) Cilasun, Seyit Mumin; Acar, Elif Oznur; Gunalp, Burak
    Using Turkish Household Budget Surveys from 2003, 2007 and 2012, this paper investigates the determinants of household education expenditures within an Engel curve framework. In particular, we estimate Tobit regressions of real educational expenditures by income groups using a number of household characteristics (i.e. rural residence, employment status, age, educational attainment of the household head, household size, share of female students and primary school students in the household, and total number of students in the household) to examine if and to what extent the determinants of educational expenditures differ by income groups; income elasticities of educational spending evolves over time; and children from middle-class and poor families can benefit enough from educational opportunities. The estimated expenditure elasticities have lower values for the top- and the bottom income quartiles while they have larger values for the middle-income quartiles. The results also show that for all income groups the expenditure elasticity of education increases over time, indicating that Turkish households allocates greater share of their budgets to education expenditures.

    Can Us Wage Increases Be Regarded as A\rleading Indicator for Bond Rates
    (2020) Acar, Elif Oznur; Özşuca, Ekin Ayşe
    After the subprime meltdown, the Federal Reserve focused its attention on US non-\rfarm payroll data in order to pave the way for its fund rate hikes. As time went by,\rthe Federal Reserve deemed particularly one sub-component of this data, namely the\rincrements on average weekly wage growth as a proxy for in\ration and thus a plausible\rexplanation for raising the interest rates. In that aspect, we decide to elaborate on this\rissue further and examine whether this implemented strategy indeed had a re\rection in\rthe real market. For doing so, we intend to determine whether there is any causality\rrelation in either direction between US average weekly wage increases and 10-year\rTreasury Bond rates. We utilize the Toda-Yamamoto causality approach and come\rup with a statistically signicant result between wages and bond rates. For robustness,\rwe also consider the unemployment rate and consumption expenditures as independent\rvariables.

    The Formal/Informal Employment Earnings Gap: Evidence From Turkey
    (Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2016) Acar, Elif Oznur; Tansel, Aysit
    This study investigates the formal/informal employment earnings gap in Turkey. We focus on the earnings differentials that can be explained by observable characteristics and unobservable time-invariant individual heterogeneity. We first, estimate the standard Mincer earnings equations using ordinary least squares (OLS), controlling for individual, household, and job characteristics. Next we use, panel data and the quantile regression (QR) techniques in order to account for unobserved factors which might affect the earnings and the intrinsic heterogeneity within formal and informal sectors. OLS results confirm the existence of an informal sector penalty almost half of which is explained by observable variables. We find that formal-salaried workers are paid significantly higher than their informal counterparts and of the self-employed confirming the heterogeneity within the informal employment. QR results show that pay differentials are not uniform along the earnings distribution. In contrast to the mainstream literature which views informal self-employment as the upper-tier and wage-employment as the lower-tier, we find that self-employment corresponds to the lower-tier in the Turkish labor market. Finally, fixed effects estimation indicates that unobserved individual characteristics combined with controls for observable characteristics explain the pay differentials between formal and informal employment entirely in the total and the female sample. However, informal sector penalty persists in the male sample.

    An Outline of Skilled Emigration from Turkey to OECD Countries: A Panel Data Analysis
    (2017) Acar, Elif Öznur
    Turkey provides rich evidence for the current international migration trends given its economic and demographic dynamics. The number of people moving overseas to settle permanently has been following an increasing trend in the recent decades, particularly remarkable for skilled and female groups. However, given the micro-level data limitations the migration outlook of Turkey is still quite bleak. The aim of this paper is to fill this gap and analyze the relationship between migration and human capital in the context of Turkish immigrants. First, aggregate trends of the Turkish emigrants in the 20 OECD destination countries by gender and educational level over the 1980-2010 period are examined using the IAB Brain Drain dataset. Next, a random effects panel estimation is applied to scrutinize the underlying dynamics of observed migration patterns adopting economic size, unemployment, demographic profile, urbanization and proximity as explanatory variables. The results reveal that gender, time and education are found as significantly related to international mobility trends, and the substantially left-skewedness of the distribution of Turkish emigrants along educational level is gradually fading away over time.

    Türkiye'de Yapısal Dönüşüm ve İşgücü Piyasaları Üzerine Bir İnceleme
    (2016) Acar, Elif Oznur
    Bu çalışmada Türkiye ekonomisinin son otuz yılda içinden geçtiği yapısal dönüşüm ve bunun işgücü piyasalarındaki izdüşümleri değerlendirilmektedir. Bu bağlamda, yapısal dönüşümün ana çerçevesini belirleyen 1980'lerden bu yana yaşanan makroekonomik gelişmeler özetlenerek, işgücü piyasalarını ne boyutta ve şekilde etkilediği temel işgücü piyasası parametreleri üzerinden betimleyici zaman serisi istatistikleri ve uluslararası karşılaştırmalar kullanılarak tartışılmaktadır. Son bölümde ise, düşük işgücüne katılım, yüksek işsizlik ve kayıtdışılık oranları ile tanımlanan işgücü piyasasının, ülkenin sahip olduğu demografik fırsat penceresinden yararlanabilmesini sağlayacak politika önermeleri yapılmaktadır.

    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.

    Defining and Measuring Informality: The Case of Turkish Labor Market1
    (2015) Acar, Elif Öznur; Tansel, Aysıt
    In this study, we consider how informality can be defined and measured in the Turkish labor market. The empirical analysis consists of developing three alternative definitions of labor informality, and exploring the relevance and implications of each for the Turkish labor market using descriptive statistics and multivariate probit analysis of the likelihood of informality under each definition. We find that social security registration criterion is a better measure of informality in the Turkish labor market given its ability to capture key relationships between several individual and employment characteristics and the likelihood of informality.
