International trade has been very important for both economic and political reasons. Correspondingly, world trade volume has been uninterruptedly rising. By the same token, Turkish trade volume, in line with other developing countries, has been also growing. However, Turkey has been chronically suffering from current account deficit problems for years. The main objective of the article is to search for the determinants of Turkish current account and a possible structural break in it. There are two main findings of the article. First, the evidence from a Vector Autoregressive (VAR) model suggests that the main determinants of Turkish current account are mostly structural factors. Specifically, the VAR model implies that the dependence on intermediate goods importation to produce export commodities and change in energy prices play crucial roles in the trends in Turkish current account. Second, our findings demonstrate that there is a structural break in Turkish current account around 1999.

By the same token, Turkish trade volume, in line with other developing countries, has been also growing. However, Turkish imports have been rising much faster than Turkish exports since the 1990s. As a result, Turkey has been chronically suffering from current account deficit problem for years. What is more, Turkish current...
A comparative study of classical and machine learning approaches for time series forecasting: an empirical analysis on exports in Turkey
Günel, Eda; Yozgatlıgil, Ceylan; Department of Statistics (2019)
Exports has become one of the main economic indicator for countries. Accordingly, an accurate forecasting for exports is an important step for decision making and finding the most appropriate forecasting model constitutes the main subject of many studies. By taking the popularity and success of the machine learning (ML) methods on time series forecasting tasks into consideration, they are utilized also in this study to observe their predictive performances on Turkish exports. In this respect, Long Short Ter...
THE EU ASYLUM POLICY IN TIMES OF CRISIS: REGULATORY GOVERNANCE THROUGH AGENCIES
Canlar, Eray; Kahraman, Sevilay; Department of International Relations (2022-7-20)
This thesis explores the historical evolution of the regulatory governance of the European Union (EU) in different policy fields, mainly focusing on the EU asylum policy. Utilizing historical institutionalism and securitization literature, the thesis seeks to examine the regulatory governance of the EU asylum policy which, like the other policy field examples, displays a security-oriented and crisis-driven institutional path dependency that leads to regulatory agencification processes. Moreover, the thesis ...
The Uruguay Round: Implications for Turkish agriculture
Cakmak, EH (1997-09-01)
The liberalization of agricultural trade was the focus of the Uruguay Round of the General Agreement on Tariffs and Trade (GATT) negotiations. However, the Agreement on Agriculture (AoA), which was embedded in the Final. Act of the Uruguay Round, produced little immediate liberalization for the countries involved. The countries opted to build some slack into their commitments to the AoA's provisions, yet in spite of the precautions taken, the AoA still has created a completely new framework for agricultural...
The J curve at the industrial level: an examination of bilateral trade between Turkey and Germany
Gümüştekin, Başak; Akbostancı Özkazanç, Elif; Department of Economics (2012)
This thesis examines the relationship between the bilateral real exchange rate and the trade balances of 20 industries in which majority of the trade between Turkey and her leading partner Germany is carried out, both for the short and long run, in search of the existence of any J-curve effect. Using quarterly data over the period 1989:1-2011:3, the relationship is analyzed empirically through the bounds testing approach to cointegration and error correction modeling. The findings show that, although the pa...
