The Effects of Compulsory-Schooling Laws on Teenage Marriage and Births in Turkey KIRDAR, MURAT GÜRAY; Dayıoğlu Tayfur, Meltem; KOÇ, İSMET (2018-12-01) We estimate the effects of the extension of compulsory schooling from 5 to 8 years in Turkey on marriage and birth outcomes of teenage girls, using a regression discontinuity design. This law increases girls' schooling by roughly 1 year on average, substantially reducing the probability of marriage by age 16 and first birth by age 17. These effects disappear after ages 17 for marriage and 18 for first birth. These results suggest that this law has strong compulsory-attendance effects during the newly mandat...
The power effects of human rights reforms in Turkey: enhanced surveillance and depoliticisation Bahçecik, Şerif Onur (2015-06-03) While the perspective of 'liberalism of fear' assumes that human rights limit the despotic power of the state, this paper argues that human rights reforms promoted in the context of institution- and capacity-building programmes have had significant power effects by enhancing the disciplinary capacities of the Turkish state and blunting the transformative potential of rights claiming. The reforms increased state surveillance by rechanneling criminal justice processes towards producing evidence (such as telec...
Effect of fertility on female labor supply in Turkey Sevinç, Orhun; Kırdar, Murat G.; Department of Economics (2011) The effect of fertility on female labor supply decisions in Turkey is analyzed in this thesis. Taking the endogeneity between fertility and labor supply into account, the causal effect of fertility is interpreted in an instrumental variables estimation framework. Results of the analysis indicate that fertility estimates of sex preference and twin based instruments on short term labor supply of women differ substantially. While fertility increases due to sex preference instrument cause no significant change ...
THE ROLE OF REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT AGENCIES IN TURKEY FROM IMPLEMENTING EU DIRECTIVES TO SUPPORTING REGIONAL BUSINESS COMMUNITIES? Lagendijk, Arnoud; Kayasü, Serap; Yasar, Suna (2009-10-01) Turkey's step-by-step embedding in the institutional and policy environment of the EU is currently compelling the country to establish a fitting structure of regional governance. A key element in this structure is the creation of regions at the NUTS-II level which will be equipped with Regional Development Agencies (RDAs). Yet the present political and economic situation in Turkey throws some doubt on the scope and future for RDA development. To what extent will the central state be able and willing to devo...
The Gender Gap In Turkish Education - A Regional Approach Güngör, Ayadım Deniz (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2001) Regression analysis is used to investigate cross-provincial schooling patterns in Turkey for the years 1980 and 1994, using enrollment rate data by gender for the primary, middle, and high school levels computed here for the first time for Turkey’s provinces. The results suggest an increase in enrollments at all school levels in 1994 relative to 1980. However, the results also suggest that enrollment increases in the lower-income provinces have not kept up with enrollment increases in the higher-income prov...
