The Internal and External Transfers of the Turkish Economy: A Financial Computable General Equilibrium Analysis

2001-01-01
After the introduction of 1980 stabilization program, both the internal and external transfer problems gained importance for the Turkish economy. This study analyses interactions between the real and financial sectors of the Turkish economy within the framework of a Financial Computable General Equilibrium model, based on 1990 data. In the model, real and financial sub-models are interrelated through various channels such as flow of funds, interest rate and monetary policy. One of the main conclusions to be drawn from the analyses is that in the case of fixed real wages the adverse effects of policy changes on the economy are much larger compared to the case of fixed nominal wages.

The Turkish economy and the challenge of technology: a trade perspective
Ege, Aylin; Ege, A. Yavuz (2017-11-01)
This article provides an analysis of Turkish trade deficits from the perspective of technology, with particular focus on the period that began with the new millennium. It draws special attention to the technological structure of Turkish exports vis-a-vis Turkey's major trade partners and illustrates how Turkish trade deficits are primarily structural in nature and essentially caused by weak technology as compared with Turkey's partners. Turkish products lack competitiveness, particularly in the case of rela...
The Shifting influence of the United States on European Union - Turkey relations: a neoclassical realist approach
Özkan, Duygu; Eralp, Yakup Atila; Department of European Studies (2013)
This thesis explores how and why the United States (U.S.) support for Turkey’s participation in the European Union(EU) shifted from being an asset to a liability for Turkey between the years of l995 and 2005. There have been some earlier studies that analyzed the impact of U.S. support for Turkey’s inclusion in the EU on EU-Turkey relations. The purpose of this study is to contribute further to that literature with a plausible explanation for the shifting influence of the United States on EUTurkey relations...
The State, Crisis, and Transformation of Small and Medium-sized Enterprise Finance in Turkey
Topal Yılmaz, Aylin (Routledge, 2019-01-01)
This chapter explains the impact of Turkey’s financial transformation since the 1980s on domestic SMEs. As is common in bank-based emerging markets like Turkey, SMEs have faced difficulties in accessing sources of sustainable finance with the transition to neoliberalism. During the 1990s, governments responded with new public credit mechanisms for SMEs. Then in the 2000s, private banks in Turkey saw SME finance as an increasingly appealing source of returns. This chapter argues that in order to integrate th...
The Roots of Anti-Americanism in Turkey 1945-1960
Ünlü Bilgiç, Tuba (2015-12-01)
The conventional wisdom asserts that anti-Americanism in Turkey started as a result of the Cyprus Crisis in 1964. Yet the roots of anti-Americanism can be traced back to the 1945-1960 period, the rosy years of Turkish-American relations. In these years, some in Turkey criticized the government for granting political and economic concessions to the U.S. which were, they thought, reminiscent of the infamous capitulations of the Ottoman period. Furthermore, they argued, Turkey did not become an equal ally but ...
