Return migration to Turkey: identity problem and changes in the concept of nation
Kayıhan, Bahar; Yalvaç, Faruk; Department of International Relations (2011)
This study examines the changing concept of nation and the identity problem for the workers that turned back to Turkey. Starting from 1960s, lots of workers migrated to European countries as a solution to the problem of unemployment in Turkey. The migrants brought their families with them and got accustomed to living abroad. However statistics prove that a group of migrants returned back to Turkey. Eventually, an identity problem emerged for the returned migrants and they experienced a confusion and ambigui...
The Question of integration to urban life: a case study of the immigrants from Turkey in Kiel-Germany

Labor Market Experience in a "Pseudo-Home" Country: Turkish Immigrants in Northern Cyprus
Besim, Mustafa; Ekici, Tufan; Guven-Lisaniler, Fatma (2015-07-03)
In this study we analyze the labor market experiences of Turkish immigrants in Northern Cyprus. Northern Cyprus presents a unique example for Turkish migrants, as many traditional obstacles (language barrier, cultural and ethnic differences and non-transferability of human capital) for immigrant laborers are not applicable since Turkish immigrants have ethnic and cultural similarities to native citizens and Turkey is considered the motherland of Northern Cyprus. Nonetheless, significant differences between ...
Sudden stops and the adjustment of real exchange rates to current account deficits
Doğanay Yaşar, Özge; Özmen, Erdal; Department of Economics (2008)
This study aims to analyze the causes and consequences of sudden stops in international capital flows with special reference to the recent Turkish experience. We aim to investigate also the vulnerability of the Turkish economy to a sudden stop and compute the required change in the real exchange rates for a current account adjustment in the face of a sudden stop. The assessment of the economic and structural indicators, which are assumed to be related with the resilience of the economy against sudden stops,...
Savings motive in immigration: An empirical analysis
Kırdar, Murat G. (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2007-6-1)
This paper reviews the literature on the causes of migration decisions and examines the Turkish and ex-Yugoslavian guestworker migration to Germany in this context. The literature and empirical facts strongly suggest that the most important cause of immigration for these groups of migrants was the savings motive. Using a rich longitudinal dataset on these groups of immigrants, I establish this connection between migration and savings behavior using empirical methods.
