In this study, an attempt is made to compare and contrast the determinants of earnings differentials in Ankara and İstanbul. The determinants of earnings differentials are first examined with semi-logarithmic single equation models based on the basic human capital approach. Secondly, extended models are formed in which all the variables are expressed as dummy variables. In general, the average per hour earnings in İstanbul is higher than in Ankara. It is found that age, gender, education, job status and marital status have significant effects on the explanatory power of the model, whereas the impact of occupation is only modest.

The determinants of earnings differentials in Ankara and İstanbul Akçomak , İ. Semih; Kasnakoğlu, E. Zehra (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2003-6-1) In this study, an attempt is made to compare and contrast the determinants of earnings differentials in Ankara and İstanbul. The determinants of earnings differentials are first examined with semi-logarithmic single equation models based on the basic human capital approach. Secondly, extended models are formed in which all the variables are expressed as dummy variables. In general, the average per hour earnings in İstanbul is higher than in Ankara.

The intraday lead-lag relationship of spot and futures markets in Turkey : co-integration and causality analyses Abuk, Neşe; Danışoğlu, Seza; Department of Financial Mathematics (2011) This study is concerned with the lead-lag relationship between Turkish spot equity and derivatives markets. In the study, the spot equity market is represented by the ISE-30 Index. In order to compare the structure of the two markets, the futures contract written on the ISE-30 Index, namely TURKDEX-ISE 30, is chosen to represent the derivatives market. The analysis is performed over the sample period beginning February 4, 2005 and ending on December 10, 2010 which actually covers the entire time span from t...
The determinants of portfolio investments to Turkey : from 1989 to 2008 Günayer, Elif; Küçükkaya, Halit Engin; Department of Business Administration (2009) This thesis analyzes the factors that determine the portfolio investments to Turkey in the period from 1989:04 to 2008:12. The factors that are examined are budget balance, current account balance, nominal exchange rate between the Turkish Lira and the US dollar, Turkish domestic interest rate, US 3-months Treasury Bill rate, annual inflation rate in Turkey and ISE 100 Index. A Vector Autoregressive Model is used for the purpose of examining the impacts of these variables on the level of portfolio investmen...
The Relationship between unemployment rate and growth: time series approach for Turkey Akpiliç, Ferdi; Yozgatlıgil, Ceylan; Department of Statistics (2016) This study analyzes the relationship of economic growth and unemployment by using quarterly data for the period 2005:Q1-2016:Q1 for Turkish Economy. Three different versions of Okun’s law which are difference, gap and dynamic versions are investigated in the study. According to results, it is found that Okun’s Law is valid for Turkey. In addition, productivity variable is added to dynamic models to test effect of productivity on unemployment rate and models results reveal positive relationship between produ...
The Determinants of food inflation in Turkey Erol, Erdal; Yıldırım Kasap, Dilem; Department of Economics (2017) The major aim of this study is to find out the best models which identifies the determinants of food inflation in Turkey over the period 2003(1)-2013(12). To this end, a linear ARIMAX model is constructed by adopting an exhaustive search algorithm that is designed to select the model with most appropriate food inflation correlates. The best two models out of all candidate models having the minimum AIC and BIC values are evaluated in the estimation and prediction analyses. Roughly, our empirical results reve...
