The aim of this study is to construct a water-CGE model for Turkey in order to examine the effects of a reduction in agricultural tariff rates on Turkey’s international trade and on agricultural water use. With agricultural trade liberalization Turkey becomes a net importer of the agricultural products. The agricultural production declines resulting in a reduction in the agricultural water use. The same simulation is considered with an increase in agricultural productivity. The trade distortions resulted from tariff reductions are compensated. Water use in fruit sector increases while in other agricultural sectors it declines although the production and net exports in all agricultural sectors increase.

The Determinants of food inflation in Turkey Erol, Erdal; Yıldırım Kasap, Dilem; Department of Economics (2017) The major aim of this study is to find out the best models which identifies the determinants of food inflation in Turkey over the period 2003(1)-2013(12). To this end, a linear ARIMAX model is constructed by adopting an exhaustive search algorithm that is designed to select the model with most appropriate food inflation correlates. The best two models out of all candidate models having the minimum AIC and BIC values are evaluated in the estimation and prediction analyses. Roughly, our empirical results reve...
The Impact of climate change on agricultural production in Mediterranean countries Atay, Mehmet Ufuk; Sarı, Ramazan; Yücel, İsmail; Department of Earth System Science (2015) The aim of the study is to determine the impact of climate change on agriculture for Mediterranean countries by employing vulnerability and econometric analysis. At first step, a composite agricultural vulnerability index is created by principal component analysis (PCA) for Mediterranean counties and world’s top 35 cereal producer countries. Then, based on index scores, countries are grouped by cluster analysis. Several indicators are selected from different international databases according to three compon...
The role of feed-in tariffs in emission mitigation: Turkish case Ari, Izzet; Sarı, Ramazan (2015-08-01) The aim of this paper is to present the role of Feed-in Tariffs (FiTs) on GHG emission reduction in Turkey. Due to insufficient installed capacity, Turkey can only utilize 27% of its total economically viable renewable energy potential. To increase the share of the renewables, utilization of these sources has become a top priority in the overall energy agenda. Thus, new regulations and policies are introduced. These policies are expected to serve to increase installed capacities of renewable energy power pl...
The European Union water framework directive and Turkey‟s water management policy : an analysis Sümer, Vakur; Güneş, Şule; Department of International Relations (2011) This thesis focuses on the relationship with the EU Water Framework Directive (WFD) and Turkey‟s water management policy. The aim of the thesis is to understand and analyze impacts of Water Framework Directive on different dimensions of Turkey‟s water management policy. This thesis argues that legal discourses, organizations and policy networks prevailing in Turkey‟s water management policy are more flexible in terms of change, whereas institutional arrangements, which constitute the substantive part of the...
FİNANSAL SİSTEMİN YAPISI İLE REEL EKONOMİ ARASINDAKİ DİNAMİK ETKİLEŞİM Şendeniz Yüncü, İlkay (2020-12-01) Bu çalışmada, üretim için önemli bir girdi olan enerjinin fiyatında meydana gelen değişimin Türkiye’nin üretim ve istihdam düzeyine etkisinin incelenmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Bu kapsamda, petrol fiyatları ile sanayi üretim endeksi ve işsizlik arasındaki ilişki simetrik, asimetrik ve zamanla değişen nedensellik testleri kullanılarak Türkiye ekonomisi için 2006: 1 – 2018: 12 aylık veri seti yardımıyla sınanmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular, petrol fiyatlarının sanayi üretim endeksi ve işsizliği etkilediğini göstermekt...
