Investigation of the sources of unemployment fluctuations has been a longstanding research objective. This line of research has attracted a great attention recently, because, as Shimer (2012) has confirmed that the celebrated Mortensen-Pissarides equilibrium search and matching model fails to explain the observed unemployment fluctuations for the USA. The aim of this study is to reexamine the flows into/out of unemployment by following Sider (1985) and Baker (1992) in order to find out whether Shimer’s results are still valid from a different perspective. Using the 1996–2012 data, we show that the heterogeneity hypothesis is still rejected but the degree of co-movement between the rate of unemployment and the aggregate expected duration is somewhat weaker, which casts doubt on Shimer’s conclusions.

Unveiling Spanish unemployment persistence by output gap: a time-varying parameter approach
Aydın, Dilan; Yıldırım Kasap, Dilem; Department of Economics (2018)
This paper investigates the persistence of Spanish unemployment by incorporating the output gap over the period of 1972-2015. Unlike to the existing literature which identifies labor market rigidity as the triggering factor of high unemployment, we utilize output gap extracted by Kalman filter in order to discriminate between impacts originated from (demand side) shocks and labor market institutions. Time-varying parameter approach allowing for both abrupt and smooth structural changes of parameters facilitat...
Rethinking the implications of flexibilisation of labour markets:the case of home-based production in Tuzlucayir,Ankara
Metin, Şahin; Bedirhanoğlu Toker, Pınar; Department of Political Science and Public Administration (2009)
Flexibilisation of labour markets has been one of the significant outcomes of the neoliberal transformation processes in all over world. This development, which is indeed one of aims of the neoliberal reforms as well, has been comprehended differently by liberal Institutionalist and critical Marxist perspectives. According to the liberal Institutionalists, the flexibilisation of labour can generate positive results for labour, while for the scholars of Marxist tradition the flexibilisation of labouring proc...

Role of investment shocks in explaining business cycles in Turkey
Yüksel, Canan; Voyvoda, Ebru; Department of Economics (2012)
This thesis aims to understand the sources of business cycles observed in Turkish economy. In particular the thesis investigates the role of investment shocks in explaining fluctuations in output. For this purpose a small open economy DSGE model is estimated on Turkish data for 2002-2011 period by Bayesian methods. Variance decomposition analysis shows that permanent technology shock is the key driving force of business cycles in Turkish economy and the role of investment shock is less spelled.
Using analytic network process to assess business failure risks of construction firms
Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (2010-07-01)
The paper seeks to identify the determinants of business failure in construction and to predict the failure likelihood of construction companies by assessing their current situation based on both company‐specific and external factors.
