With the rise of liberal trade and investment policies and technological advances since the 1990s, the concept of global value chains (GVCs) has gained increasing interest not only from academicians but also from practitioners and policy-makers. The GVC framework helps understand the organization of industries worldwide, and firm and government strategies to create and capture value-added, with specific emphasis on policy to identify upgrading paths for economic and social development. In the last decade, the GVCs have been challenged by changing global dynamics, especially by the 2008 financial crisis and, more recently, the Covid-19 pandemic. Against this background, this study investigates the evolution of GVC studies and maps key concepts and shifting trends with an aim to develop policy suggestions accordingly. Using bibliometric analysis, the thesis aims to answer whether the scale and scope of GVC studies changed over time, and how their focus evolved especially after Covid-19. Considering the increasing GVC participation of developing countries, including Türkiye, the thesis explores whether there is an associated link with more research interest in those countries compared to developed economies and if so, in which direction. The results of the descriptive analysis reveal that compared to other developing countries’, research and evidence-based policy-making in Türkiye do not engage in GVC framework even though the country has been participating in GVCs. However, considering Türkiye’s ambitious vision to upgrade in global value chains, there is a potential to put forth a coordinated and comprehensive effort to boost GVC research and link it with policy-making.

Variety of Modes of Governance of a Global Value Chain: The Case of Tourism from Holland to Turkey ERKUŞ ÖZTÜRK, HİLAL; Terhorst, Pieter (2010-01-01) Global value chains analysis has become an ever more important approach in economics and economic geography to study the globalization of different sectors. However, it is largely ignored in tourism research. This paper examines the modes of governance of the tourism value chain from Holland to Turkey. One of the most striking findings of this paper is the large variety of governance modes of that chain, not only within the same market segment but even within one firm. The second important finding is the im...
Analysis of foreign ownership, RD and spillovers in developing countries: Evidence from Turkey Pamukcu, Mehmet Teoman (null; 2011-09-02) In the past few decades globalization enabled a new playing field for emerging economies. With the falling costs of information and communication technologies, multinational companies (MNCs) from the developed world first took advantage of the low labor costs in the developing economies. However, recognizing the lower cost of skilled manpower in the same countries, MNCs started to take advantage of scientists and engineers as well. Therefore, Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) has been recognized as a major me...
RMARS: Robustification of multivariate adaptive regression spline under polyhedral uncertainty Ozmen, Ayse; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (Elsevier BV, 2014-03-15) Since, with increased volatility and further uncertainties, financial crises translated a high "noise" within data from financial markets and economies into the related models, recent years' events in the financial world have led to radically untrustworthy representations of the future. Hence, robustification started to attract more attention in finance. The presence of noise and data uncertainty raises critical problems to be dealt with on the theoretical and computational side. For immunizing against para...
IMPORTANCE OF SOCIAL CAPITAL IN COPING WITH AND BENEFITING FROM NEW ECONOMIC CONDITIONS Eraydın, Ayda; Uzun, Cemile Nil (2012-04-01) The economic restructuring and the new economic conditions that arose out of the waves of globalisation has resulted in significant impacts on the labour markets, which in turn have led to social transformation. The characteristics of the new economic structure and the changes in demand for labour are important in the dispersal of the benefits of competitiveness among the different social groups. Several issues that shape the labour markets, such as education, gender, division of labour and the social organ...
The role of regional policies along with the external and endogenous factors in the resilience of regions Eraydın, Ayda (2016-03-01) This article aims to discuss the importance of the different policies and measures defined by governments in the resilience of regions, besides their connectedness to the global economic system and their endogenous capacities. The article explores the importance of different attributes in the resilience of Turkish regions (26 NUTS II regions) in the last two recessionary shocks and in the following recovery periods. By analysing the role of regional policies in the resilience of regions in two distinct peri...
