This paper investigates the determinants of provincial terrorism in Turkey taking spatial dimension into account for the time period 1990-2006. Following a traditional global regression analysis, spatial variations in the relationships are examined with geographically weighted regression (GWR) to obtain locally different parameter estimates. Empirical results indicate that increases in income and schooling ratio tend to reduce the provincial average level of terrorism, whereas an increase in unemployment enhances it. Moreover, GWR results indicate that the provincial effects of per capita income and education are more pronounced for the Eastern and South Eastern provinces compared to the Western provinces.

Does terrorism Have Economic Roots Derin Güre, Pınar (null; 2014-12-01) This paper investigates the roots of international, domestic, and separatist terrorism using a new, extensive, multi-country panel data set obtained from MIPT (Memorial Institute of Prevention of Terrorism). I augment the MIPT data by recording the target country and the terrorist's country of origin. I also classify each terrorist incident as international, domestic or separatist. International terrorism refers to terrorism committed by foreign nationals. Domestic terrorism refers to terrorism committed by...
Regional effects of terrorism on economic growth in Turkey: A geographically weighted regression approach Öcal, Nadir; Yildirim, Juelide (2010-07-01) The economic growth effects of terrorism have generally been examined in a cross-country framework where socio-economic differences among the countries are ignored. This highly restrictive assumption may result in heterogeneity bias, which could be overcome by resorting to country studies rather than cross-country analysis. Moreover, the relationship between the terrorist incidents and various factors may not be stationary in space. The majority of terrorist incidents in Turkey are concentrated mainly in Ea...
The root causes of terrorism Çınar, Bekir (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2009-6-1) This paper aims to discuss the root causes of terrorism, which might be political systems and political administration and policies. It debates that without knowing the root cause of terrorism, there will be no plausible solution to the problem. Further, the paper tries to prove that the root causes of terrorism might not be economic, social, ideological or beliefs and religions. The core theme of terrorism can be injustice that is product of the political system and its activities. Therefore, the political...
Analysis of GNSS time series obtained from Turkish national permanent GNSS stations network-active system using Hilbert-Huang transform / Özdemir, Soner; Karslıoğlu, Mahmut Onur; Department of Civil Engineering (2014) In this thesis, time series of position estimates are generated from the data collected at Turkish National Permanent GNSS Stations Network-Active (TNPGN-Active) stations with high-precision GNSS analysis methods, and obtained time series are analysed using Hilbert Huang Transform (HHT) whereby associated problems of this transformation are investigated. The accuracy of the positional correction parameters sent to the end users on the field from TNPGN-Active system is important when it is considered these c...
Measurement of the underlying event activity in pp collisions at root s=0 9 and 7 TeV with the novel jet-area/median approach Chatrchyan, S.; et. al. (Springer Science and Business Media LLC, 2012-08-01) The first measurement of the charged component of the underlying event using the novel "jet-area/median" approach is presented for proton-proton collisions at centre-of-mass energies of 0.9 and 7TeV. The data were recorded in 2010 with the CMS experiment at the LHC. A new observable, sensitive to soft particle production, is introduced and investigated inclusively and as a function of the event scale defined by the transverse momentum of the leading jet. Various phenomenological models are compared to data,...
