The purpose of this paper is to test the differential urbanisation theory for the Turkish case during the 42 years between 1955-97. The theory is first tested for the country as a whole, and subsequently for each of its three major regions with differing development levels. The findings for Turkey, in general, are consistent with the theory of differential urbanisation. The country and all its regions are found to be at the 'early medium city' stage (i.e. the first phase of polarisation reversal). The timing of the stages in three regions was consistent with their respective level of development. The special characteristics of the Turkish case and their effects are discussed.

Unit roots or nonlinear stationarity in Turkish real exchange rates Erlat, Haluk (Informa UK Limited, 2004-08-15) The objective of this paper is to test if Turkish real exchange rates have a linear unit root or are generated by an Exponential Smooth Transition Autoregressive Model for the post-1980 period. Using two real exchange rates, one with the USA and the other with Germany, strong evidence of nonlinear stationarity was found for the US CPI-based series but no such evidence for the DM CPI-based series. When compared with earlier results in a previous paper where the alternative of the linear unit root test was st...
Testing the quantity theory of money in Greece Ozmen, E (Informa UK Limited, 2003-12-15) This paper investigates whether the Greek data actually support the monetarist hypotheses as argued by Karfakis. The results based on both ARDL and Johansen procedures consistently suggest that money and nominal income (prices) are endogenous for the parameters of the long-run evolution of velocity (real money balances). Thus, the basic postulation of monetarism, the exogeneity of money, appears not to be supported by the Greek data.
The twin deficits hypothesis : an empirical investigation Yanık, Yeliz; Özmen, Erdal; Department of Economics (2006) This study investigates the validity of the twin deficits hypothesis for the Turkish quarterly data over the 1988:1-2005:2 periods. To this end, we consider a VAR variable space containing budget deficits, current account deficits, real output, real interest rates and real exchange rates and employ cointegration, equilibrium/error correction mechanism techniques along with Granger-non-causality tests and impulse response analyses. The empirical results from decompositions of the budget and current account d...
Macroeconomics of twin targeting in Turkey analytics of a financial computable general equilibrium model TELLİ, ÇAĞATAY; Voyvoda, Ebru; YELDAN, ALP ERİNÇ (Informa UK Limited, 2008-03-01) The paper provides an overview of the post-1998 Turkish economy and constructs a macroeconomic computable general equilibrium (CGE) model to illustrate the real and financial sectoral adjustments of the Turkish economy under the conditionalities of the 'twin targets': on primary surplus to gross national product (GNP) ratio and on the inflation rate. We further utilize the model to study three sets of issues: (i) the critical role of the expanded foreign capital inflows in resolving the macroeconomic impass...
Stock returns and the day-of-the-week effect in Istanbul Stock Exchange Oguzsoy, CB; Güven, Sibel (Informa UK Limited, 2003-05-20) This study investigates the existence of the day-of-the-week effect on stock returns in the Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE) for the period between 1988 and 1999. ISE that was established in 1986 is a rapidly growing emerging market for which there are only a few studies that have been conducted and reported. Since emerging markets are becoming good diversification alternatives for international investors, the analysis of stock return behaviour of ISE will be of interest to all investors, domestic and foreign....
