Financial dollarization and currency substitution in Turkey
Başkurt, Özge; Özmen, Erdal; Department of Economics (2005)
This study aims to investigate currency substitution and financial dollarization in Turkey. The extend of dollarization in Turkey appears to be very high according to both the conventional currency substitution and the recently developed financial dollarization measures. This has serious policy implications as a source of financial fragility through currency/maturity mismatches and balance sheet effects. The empirical part of this study contained an investigation of the long run relationships between the va...
Financial development and economic fluctuations
Tiryaki, Gisele Ferreira (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2003-6-1)

Financial innovations in developing countries : the case of Turkey
Gökatalay, Semih; Ağır, Münis Seven; Department of Economics (2015)
There is a significant literature that investigates business interest groups and how they interact with public and private interests. Yet, the historical evolution of business interest groups in Turkey is still meager. With the start of the Second Constitutional Period, there was an increase in the number of corporations which were founded in the Ottoman Empire. Particularly, during the World War I, as a result of national economy policies, Muslim-Turkish ownership dominated these corporations and the new g...
