This paper investigates whether there has been a convergence in technical efficiency and productivity levels of the health care systems of twenty-six EU members and a candidate country over the period 1995-2012. The results of convergence analysis suggest that both β (beta)-convergence and σ (sigma)-convergence in technical efficiency and productivity have occurred among sampled countries. Furthermore, the findings reveal that the dispersion of technical efficiency and productivity scores among sampled countries declined over the sample period. Overall, these results provide evidence in favor of the process of health care systems integration in the EU.

Efficiency in the manufacturing industry of selected provinces in Turkey - A stochastic frontier analysis
Onder, AO; Deliktas, E; Lenger, A (2003-03-01)
This paper measures technical efficiency and technical and total factor productivity changes by estimating a translog stochastic frontier production function for the Turkish manufacturing industry in selected provinces. This method incorporates technical change and has time-varying technical efficiency effects. The stochastic frontier function was estimated by using panel data based on eighteen selected provinces of Turkey for the 1990-98 period The performance of the public and private sector manufacturing...
Adoption factors of health monitoring systems for smart healthcare: a systematic review
Özkan Yıldırım, Sevgi (null; 2019-04-13)
Although there have been several studies that focus on technical aspects of health monitoring systems, adoption of these systems remains largely unknown. A limited number of researches has explored the factors influencing users adoption of these systems that provide successful system implementation. In this study, we reviewed articles addresses the adoption of health monitoring systems. We extract criteria that influence the adoption decision that has been made at some stage to use health monitoring system...

Burden of being a nurse: a case study on retired nurses’ occupational experiences in Turkey
Bircan, Seray; Gündüz Hoşgör, Ayşe.; Department of Sociology (2020)
In this thesis, the main objective is to understand the changing occupational experiences of retired nurses throughout their working years between 1988 and 2020 within three periods (1988-1998, 1999-2009, 2010-2020) that corresponds to major changes in distribution of healthcare service in Turkey within neoliberal policies. The rationalization attempts in medical settings, aim for standardization in care work, and process and flexibilization in the responsibilities to increase multifunctionality will be imp...
Income Expectations and Happiness: Evidence from British Panel Data
Ekici, Tufan; Koydemir, Selda (2016-06-01)
We analyze the impact of households' subjective current and future financial measures on their well-being by using three waves of a longitudinal data set-Understanding Society -from the UK. We use a fixed-effects regression method to get rid of individual heterogeneity, and find that even after controlling for some demographic characteristics, including equivalent household income, subjective measures of current and future financial well-being are still significant correlates of life satisfaction in UK hous...
