The present study is an attempt to explain the variations in the extent of protection provided to the producers of four selected agricultural crops in Turkey by a set of independent variables representing various economic and political events of the 1962–1983 period. The economic variables were selected in order to assess the divergence between the intentions of the policy makers and their actions as reflected in the level of support actually provided; while the political variables were chosen to assess the impact of elections, military takeovers and noticeable shifts in the underlying philosophy of the policy makers on the support provided. The regression analysis suggested that the political power of the agricultural producers was an important determinant of the policies implemented, especially during times of democratic practices; that during times of military regimes, the agricultural sector tends to be less protected; that there is indirect evidence for the existence of political business cycles synchronized to political elections: and, that general conditions in the economy can influence the behavioral rule of the policy makers.

Numerical simulation of the Çınarcık dam failure on the Orhaneli River Bağ, Fırat; Bozkuş, Zafer; Department of Civil Engineering (2005) This thesis analyzes the probable outcome of the fictitious failure of a dam under a set of pre-defined scenarios, within the framework of a case study, the case subject being the Cinarcik Dam located within Bursa Province of Turkey. The failure of the dam is not analyzed neither structural nor hydraulic-wise but is assumed to be triggered when certain critical criteria are exceeded. Hence, the analyses focus on the aftermath of the failure and strive to anticipate the level of inundation downstream of the ...
The effects of agricultural liberalization on sectoral water use: A CGE Model for Turkey Çırpıcı, Yasemin Asu (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2011-8) 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 fr...
A Translog cost function analysis of Turkish agriculture Sel, Güney; Güzel, Alper; Department of Economics (2002) This work examines the costs occurred in the agricultural production process in Turkey employing agricultural data from 1970 to 1999. A Translog specification will be used to represent the cost pattern of the Turkish Agricultural Production. The Translog Cost Function is the most frequently used flexible function in empirical work, which is well known for its flexible functional form in terms of the local second-order approximation to any arbitrary functional form. The model that is considered in this study...
Sustainable development and management of an aquifer system in western Turkey SAKIYAN, J; Yazıcıgil, Hasan (2004-02-01) This study presents the establishment of sustainable development and management policies for the Kucuk Menderes River Basin aquifer system in western Turkey. Geological, hydrogeological, and geophysical data are used conjunctively to define various hydrogeological units and their geometry. Distributions of hydraulic-parameter values and recharge are estimated by geostatistical methods and hydrologic simulations, respectively. A finite-difference groundwater flow model is used to represent the unconfined flo...
The Ethnography of market research companies in Turkey: the re-production of knowledge Güneş, Önder; Yıldırım, Erdoğan; Department of Sociology (2017) This study is an attempt to investigate and analyze market research sector in Turkey in its various aspects and to understand market research ethos. Corporations from different sectors increasingly tend to work together with market research companies in all over the world. In parallel with this, private sector actors in Turkey ask market research companies to conduct researches in order to sell their products in a broader market and try to determine the future of their corporations. In that sense, market re...
