In this thesis, we examine a sequential model of multilateral bargaining in which legislators make decisions over both private and public good dimensions under unanimity rule. We assume that recognition process is endogenous. Legislators expend effort to be the proposer. In symmetric case, since all legislators are identical, even if the legislators exert effort to be the proposer, model behaves like an exogenous model. However, cut-off values that indicate legislators’ political opinion differs from the previous studies. Because model pushes legislators to become collective-leaning ones. In asymmetric case, in a diverse legislature, we show that legislators come to an agreement with a decision containing both public and private good dimensions.

Bargaining in legislatures over private and public goods with endogenous recognition
Genc, Hakan; Küçükşenel, Serkan (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2019-12-01)
This paper studies a sequential model of multilateral bargaining under majority rule in which legislators make decisions in both private and public good dimensions via an endogenous recognition process. Legislators can expend resources to become the proposer and to make proposals about the allocation of private and public goods. We show that legislators exert unproductive effort to be the proposer and make proposals in both dimensions depending on legislative preferences. Effort choices in equilibrium depen...

Modeling and assessment of the effectiveness of government information systems
Güçlü, Aydın Nusret; Bilgen, Semih; Department of Electrical and Electronics Engineering (2011)
In the context of evaluating effectiveness of information systems, the public sector requires a specific approach for measuring indirect benefits such as strategic / political value. There is not yet a holistic approach and no unified adaptive and time-variant model addressing the problem. In this thesis, Strategic Management Model developed and partially applied at the Ministry of Finance, Turkey, is described. The model is based on the public value delivery chain, from strategic goals to accountability re...
Additional factor in asset-pricing: Institutional ownership
Uğurlu-Yıldırım, Ecenur; Şendeniz Yüncü, İlkay (Elsevier BV, 2020-01-01)
In this paper, we hypothesize that institutional investor variable is a proxy for some systematic risk factors, which should be incorporated into the asset-pricing model. Mimicking portfolio for institutional ownership, called IMI (Institutional minus Individual), is constructed. Including IMI to the Carhart's 4-factor model captures the common variations in returns better than all other models that are tested. Consistent with the literature, the new 5-factor model improves mispricing mostly in portfolios i...
Public sector innovativeness and public values through information and communication technologies
Cubuk, Ecem Buse Sevinc; KARKIN, NACİ; Yavuz, Nilay (2019-01-01)
In public administration (PA) literature, there are a number of big questions regarding institutional and organizational factors. Competency formation, availability of resources and citizen empowerment [1] are among them. The importance of big questions must not rely on instrumentality; rather should focus on how and whether they have consequences and value for society [2]. The literature also questions "the paradox of publicness" [3, 4] by referring the "special status of public organization" claim of [5] ...
