The capacity of an economic system to grow through competitive entry and flexible adjustment is investigated on a firm based evolutionary simulation model of the Swedish economy. Entry, speed of exit and of labor market reallocation define flexibility. Entry is determined by observed profit opportunities in markets and growth, among other things, through dynamic competition by way of entry. Both entry and growth ultimately depend on the existence of property rights institutions that reduce the uncertainty surrounding private access at any time to the expected present value of future profits from investment commitments today.

Macroeconomic impact of workers' remittances on output growth: evidence from Turkey Yaşar, Pınar; Tansel, Aysıt; Department of Economics (2005) In this study, a demand oriented simultaneous equation macroeconometric model with a dynamic perspective is constructed in order to investigate the impact of workers̕ remittances on output growth via their effects on key macro variables such as private consumption, investment and imports for Turkey. The study covers the period of 1964-2003 on an annual basis. Results of the analysis suggest that workers̕ remittances affect output growth in a positive manner through the multiplier process. It is found that t...
The dynamics of firms in a micro-to-macro model: The role of training, learning and innovation Ballot, G; Taymaz, Erol (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 1997-12-01) We analyze the co-evolution of the performances of firms and of the economy in an evolutionary micro-to-macro model of the Swedish economy. The model emphasizes the interactions between human capital (or competences) and technological change at the firm level and their effects;on aggregate growth, taking into account the micro-macro feedbacks. The model features learning-by-doing, incremental and radical innovations, user-producer learning at the firm level, and a change in the techno-economic paradigm. We ...
Privatization, Ownership and Technical Efficiency a Study of the Turkish Cement Industry Saygili, Seref; Taymaz, Erol (2001-12-01) This paper presents an empirical study of the effects of ownership and privatization on technical efficiency in the Turkish cement industry. We first summarize the characteristics of the Turkish cement industry and changes in industrial structure in the post-privatization period. The effects of ownership and privatization on technical efficiency are estimated using the stochastic production frontier approach. The empirical tests presented, which use data on all cement plants in Turkey, suggest that neither ...
A Tax Reform Proposal for Turkey: Flat Tax System Derin Güre, Pınar (2020-08-01) Using a dynamic life cycle simulation model, this study aims to find macroeconomic effects of a flat tax reform for Turkish economy. Flat tax system removes all current tax rates and taxes all sources of income at the same rate by expensing the invest- ments in the year they are made. Although this is a simple tax system, the model projects significant increase in output as well as an increase in welfare by shifting from the graduated tax system to the flat tax.
Globalization, technological change and labor demand: a firm-level analysis for Turkey MESCHİ, Elena; Taymaz, Erol; VİVARELLİ, Marco (2016-11-01) This paper studies the interlinked relationship between globalization and technological upgrading in affecting employment and wages of skilled and unskilled workers in a middle income developing country. It exploits a unique longitudinal firm-level database that covers all manufacturing firms in Turkey over the 1992-2001 period. Turkey is taken as an example of a developing economy that, in that period, had been technologically advancing and becoming increasingly integrated with the world market. The empiri...
