Determinants of High Growth Firms: An Analysis of the Turkish Manufacturing Sector

2019-06-10
Due to their important contribution to overall growth performance of economies policy makers have attributed great importance to high growth firms (HGFs). In order to support the efforts of these firms researchers have tried to find the factors that initiated and promoted the growth performance of HGFs. However, this is not a simple task since the factors that contribute to the growth performances of firms seems to vary across sectors and countries. This study examines the characteristics of HGFs and tries to identify factors that stimulate HGFs in the Turkish manufacturing sector using firm level data during 2003-2014.

Determinants of current account deficits in industrialized and developing coıuntries: an empirical investigation
Kaya Bahçe, Seçil Aysed; Kaya Bahçe, Seçil Aysed; Department of Economics (2005)
This study aims to analyze the determinants of the current account deficits for a broad samples of industrial and developing countries for the period 1984-2001. Using a dynamic panel data estimation procedure, we try to unfold the impact of several macro economic and institutional variables on current account deficits. In this context, we also examine the validity of Feldstein Horioka puzzle and its relevance to the current account imbalances. Results show that better governance, a more sophisticated financ...

Determinants of early performance of new technology-based firms supported by government: Turkish case
Turan, Damla; Erdil, Erkan; Tandoğan, V. Sinan; Department of Economics (2016)
This master’s thesis aims to analyze the determinants of the early-stage performance of New Technology-Based Firms (NTBFs) supported by the Turkish government and develop policy recommendations in order to enhance the current support mechanisms. The main contribution of this study is that it is the first study to analyze the determinants of the early-stage performance of NTBFs supported by the government in the Turkish context. For this reason, a specific government support program was chosen. 1512 Entrepre...
Determinants of subcontracting and kegional development: An empirical study on Turkish textile and engineering industries
Taymaz, Erol (2005-07-01)
Recent studies on small- and medium-sized Turkish textile and engineering industries, development establishments emphasize the importance of networking and regional clusters for (regional) industrial development. This study is focused on an important form of cooperation between firms: the subcontracting relationship. The aim is to identify the determinants of subcontracting in Turkish textile and engineering industries and to derive policy implications from our empirical analysis. Subcontract offering and s...
EFFECTS OF EXCHANGE RATE VOLATILITY AND FIRM-SPECIFIC FEATURES ON THE RATES OF RETURNS OF THE MANUFACTURING FIRMS LISTED IN BORSA İSTANBUL: A CAPM APPROACH
Aslan, Mustafa; Gaygısız Lajunen, Esma; Department of Financial Mathematics (2021-8-04)
This study examines the effects of the exchange rate volatility and the firm-specific features representing the liquidity, profitability, and leverage performance of firms on excess stock returns for the manufacturing firms listed in Borsa İstanbul (BIST) using dynamic panel data model. The exchange rate volatility is modeled by single regime generalized autoregressive conditional heteroscedasticity (GARCH) models and Markov-switching GARCH (MSGARCH) models. The MSGARCH models show evidence that the evoluti...
