Using a dynamic life cycle simulation model, this study aims to find macroeconomic effects of a flat tax reform for Turkish economy. Flat tax system removes all current tax rates and taxes all sources of income at the same rate by expensing the invest- ments in the year they are made. Although this is a simple tax system, the model projects significant increase in output as well as an increase in welfare by shifting from the graduated tax system to the flat tax.

Moreover, the vector auto ...
An Empirical model of the international cost of equity Uzunkaya, Mehmet; Küçükkaya, Halit Engin; Department of Business Administration (2015) The aim of the study is to propose an empirical model of the international cost of equity by investigating and analyzing the long-run relation between disaggregated country risk ratings and country stock market index returns for a large panel of countries. The study tests the hypothesis that, given the available theoretical and empirical evidence, country risk ratings and country stock market index returns should move together in the long-run and there should be a long-run equilibrium between them; thus cou...
On consensus, constraint and choice: economic and monetary integration and Europe's welfare states Bolukbasi, H. Tolga (Informa UK Limited, 2009-01-01) This article reassesses the theoretical expectations and empirical findings in the political economy literature on the impact of economic and monetary union (EMU) on European welfare states. After summarizing the literature which views EMU as the symbol of the primordial conversion to neoliberalism, the article identifies the underlying hypothesis, assumptions, and predictions of the earlier, largely apprehensive literature of the 1990s which was based on ex ante convictions on EMU's social consequences.
