This paper examines the immigration-trade links for OECD countries for the 2000–2015 period. By decomposing the overall effect of the presence of immigrants on the export of the hosting countries according to the methodology proposed by Hummels and Klenow (2005), we investigate if there is a migration-driven increase in the number of export relationships (extensive margin) and/or simply a growth of pre-existing export relationships (intensive margin) decomposed by an increase in quantity and price. We consider the country of origin of immigrants and their level(s) of education. Our results confirm the existence of a pro-export effect of immigrants attributable to the contribution of international networks regarding the reduction in information costs, which is especially strong for developed countries as sources of migration. However, when we look at the heterogeneous impact of different levels of immigrants’ education, we find that the pro-trade effect is due to the contribution of less- and more educated immigrants to the reduction of trade costs, while the medium educated do not spur bilateral trade significantly. We address the potential endogeneity problems by adopting an instrumental variable (IV) approach based on shift-share IV and pull-and-push factors that could induce international migration.

An Empirical Analysis on Trade between Turkey and the United Kingdom under the Shadow of Brexit
Ercan, Büşra; Akbostancı Özkazanç, Elif; Department of Economics (2021-9)
This thesis analyzes Turkey-the UK international trade by developing an empirical model from the sectoral point of view. While doing this, the potential impact of alternative Brexit scenarios on the Turkish trade with the UK is attempted to be investigated by using an econometric model that provides a quantitative perspective. It is concluded that Turkish export prices, the UK’s value added, world export prices and general economic activity of the UK have more effect on the exports of Turkey to the UK marke...
The European Union as a normative power and the European neighbourhood policy: cases of Morocco and Egypt
Tınas, Murat; Çıtak Aytürk, Zana Ayşe; Department of International Relations (2009)
This thesis aims to examine the European Union (EU) as a normative power in the context of the European Neighbourhood Policy (ENP) through case studies of Morocco and Egypt. The uniqueness of the EU as a distinct actor in international politics has led many observers to claim that the EU is a normative power. The ENP, which emerged in 2004, has been one of the main instruments of the EU within this framework. This thesis studies the claim as to whether the EU is, in fact, a normative power in the context of...
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...
European neighbourhood policy, as a hegemonic project: the case of Ukraine
Özdilek, Sibel Elif; Türkeş, Mustafa; Department of International Relations (2009)
This thesis attempts to analyze the European Neighbourhood Policy from a Neo-Gramscian perspective, mapping transnational power relations in Europe and identifying the historical-specific articulations between economic, political and (civil) societal processes in the specific case of Ukraine. Thus the thesis attempts to show how the EU’s hegemonic project is formed and applied, it also explores whether there are redefinitions of the EU hegemonic project and ask whether it is sustainable or not. It is conten...
Does Information and Communication Technology Sustain Economic Growth? The Underdeveloped and Developing Countries Case
Erdil, Erkan; Türkcan, Burcu (IGI-Global, 2010-01-01)
This paper tests the impact of ICT on economic growth for underdeveloped and developing countries by using a panel dataset for the period of 1995-2006. We first develop the theory of the relationship between ICT and economic growth. We show that ICT-capital has a positive effect both on long-run and transitional income per capita, if it is considered as a factor of production. Next, we estimate a panel data set with 131 underdeveloped and developing countries under the assumption that ICT is one of the dete...
