Eraydin A. Attributes and characteristics of regional resilience: defining and measuring the resilience of Turkish regions, Regional Studies. The increasing frequency of recessionary shocks and the difference in regional growth trajectories in periods of both recession and recovery have resulted in an increased interest in the notion of resilience in the recent literature. This paper, through a discussion of the impacts of recession on Turkish regions, presents an empirical exploration of the concept of regional resilience, categorizing the responses of different regions during economic cycles. A discriminant function analysis is used to explore and explain the differences between resilience categories based on the attributes of the 26 NUTS-II regions, indicating which attributes contribute most to group separation.

Spatial econometric analysis of regional growth and employment convergence in Turkey Akçagün, Pelin; Öcal, Nadir; Department of Economics (2015) The main objective of this thesis is to investigate how spatial interactions across the provinces and regions may affect the regional growth and employment convergence in Turkey. The overall outcomes suggest not only the validity but also the superiority of the spatial econometric models. First, a comprehensive set of spatial cross-sectional models is employed to reveal the provincial growth convergence from 1991 to 2009. The results suggest evidences of absolute and conditional convergence across provinces...
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...
Definitions of Turkish in-group boundaries: national participation and essentialism as predictors of inter-group attitudes in Turkey TAŞDEMİR, NAGİHAN; Öner Özkan, Bengi (2016-01-01) The present research investigates how definitions of national in-group boundaries predict inter-group attitudes in Turkey. In Study 1, we explore definitions of Turkish in-group boundaries as well as perceptions of the Turkish in-group's relations with other groups among 64 university students. In Study 2, conducted among 324 university students, exploratory factor analyses reveal two dimensions of Turkish in-group boundaries: national participation (a more civic definition) and national essentialism (a mor...
The determinants of life satisfaction in Post-Soviet Azerbaijan Galip, Hilal; Akçay, Ali Adnan; Department of Sociology (2008) The study aims to investigate main determinants of life satisfaction in newly independent country, Azerbaijan.

Moreover, it provides deeper interpretation of daily experiences of people in different fields of life compared to Soviet period. In the survey, 1030 households wer...
Determinants of subcontracting and kegional development: An empirical study on Turkish textile and engineering industries Taymaz, Erol (2005-07-01) Recent studies on small- and medium-sized Turkish textile and engineering industries, development establishments emphasize the importance of networking and regional clusters for (regional) industrial development. This study is focused on an important form of cooperation between firms: the subcontracting relationship. The aim is to identify the determinants of subcontracting in Turkish textile and engineering industries and to derive policy implications from our empirical analysis. Subcontract offering and s...
