Öğe BİT Kullanımının Yaygınlaşması Vergi Gelirini Arttırır mı?: Panel Kanıt(2016) Koyuncu, Cüneyt; Yılmaz, Rasim; Ünver, MustafaBu çalışmada, Bilgi İşlem Teknolojileri (BİT) kullanımının yaygınlaşmasının vergi geliri üzerindeki etkisi araştırılmıştır. Bilgi İşlem Teknolojileri (BİT) kullanımının yaygınlaşmasının ülke vergi gelirinin artmasına katkı sağlayacağı hipotezi 1990-2013 dönemini kapsayan dengesiz panel veri, dört BİT penetrasyon göstergesi ve üç ülke vergi geliri göstergesi kullanılarak test edilmiştir. Çalışmanın en büyük örnekleminde 157 ülke vardır. Tek ve çok değişkenli zaman etkisi modelleri kullanılarak BİT penetrasyonu ve ülke vergi geliri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı pozitif korelasyon tespit edilmiştir. Bu bulgu, dört BİT penetrasyon göstergesi ve üç vergi geliri göstergesi için de istatistiksel olarak anlamlı ve geçerli bulunmuştur. Ülkeler arası araştırma sonuçlarımız, ülke vergi gelirlerinin artışına etki eden diğer faktörlerin kontrol altında tutulması koşulları altında, BİT kullanımının yaygınlaşmasının ülke vergi gelirlerinin artmasına katkı sağlayacağını göstermektedir.Öğe China's Export Surge and World Poverty(Vilnius Univ, 2010) Yılmaz, Rasim; Koyuncu, CüneytThis paper addresses the impact of imports from China on the importer countries' poverty levels. We posit that imports from China equal to or over a certain threshold level such as 2%, i.e., the ratio of a country's imports from China to its total imports is equal to or greater than 2% on average over the estimation period; could contribute to the decrease in the poverty levels of the importer countries. Using cross-section fixed and random effect regressions and data from 1994 to 2006, we report evidence that increases in the share of one country's imports from China is associated with higher Human Development Index and higher per capita GNP (both indicators of poverty). The obtained result holds for low-income countries as well.Öğe Chinese exports and productivity gains: Panel evidence(2010) Koyuncu, Cüneyt; Yılmaz, RasimThis paper examines the impact of imports from China on the labour productivity levels of importers, using unbalanced data from 1994 to 2006. It is hypothesised that imports from China increase importer countries' labour productivity levels. Using cross-section, fixed and random-effect models, a statistically significant, positive relationship is found between the share of a country's imports from China and labour productivity in the manufacturing sector of that country. Moreover, it is found that imports from China have a larger impact on China's main Asian-Pacific trade partners and countries with higher manufacturing shares in their total exports. © 2010 The Authors.

We hypothesized that privatization could reduce deforestation through reducing corruption. We found a statistically significant strong positive relation between corruption and deforestation for the period between 1995 and 2008 by using two different corruption indices and panel data, a highly statistically significant negative correlation between private forest ownership and corruption across countries by using univariate and multivariate models for three different corruption indices, and a highly statistically significant negative correlation between private forest ownership and deforestation across countries by using univariate and multivariate models.Öğe Foreign Bank Participation and Banking Crises in Transition Economies(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2010) Yılmaz, Rasim; Koyuncu, CüneytUsing a fixed effect multivariate panel logit econometric model and taking possible endogenity problem into account, we test the hypothesis that foreign bank participation contributes to decrease in banking crises in transition economies in 1990-2006. The results suggest that foreign bank participation decreases the possibility of banking crises, controlling for other factors that may cause banking crises. This paper contributes to the literature by presenting the first empirical evidence on the negative relationship between the actual level of foreign bank presence (or foreign bank concentration) and banking crises for transition countries.Öğe Impact of private forest ownership on deforestation and poverty(Springer, 2013) Koyuncu, Cüneyt; Yılmaz, RasimWe analyzed the impact of private forest ownership on deforestation and poverty. Using multivariate cross-section models, we identified a statistically significant negative correlation between private forest ownership and deforestation and a statistically significant negative correlation between private forest ownership and poverty. Our study presents the importance of privatization in the forest sector and stimulation of private forestry to combat deforestation and poverty.Öğe Privatization and corruption in transition economies: a panel study(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2010) Koyuncu, Cüneyt; Öztürkler, Harun; Yılmaz, RasimBy using three corruption indices, six privatization indicators, and taking the endogeneity problem into consideration, we test the hypothesis that privatization contributes to a decrease in corruption in transition economies. We identified a highly statistically significant and negative association between privatization and corruption in transition economies for three different corruption indices and six different privatization indicators.Öğe The Impact of ICT Penetration on Deforestation: A Panel Data Evidence(Sciendo, 2019) Yılmaz, Rasim; Koyuncu, CüneytA growing number of case studies and reports suggest that Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) play an important role in fighting against deforestation, and the penetration of ICT help decrease deforestation in a different part of world's forests. The aim of this study is to test whether diffusion of ICT contributes to decreasing in deforestation in the world. For this purpose, the effect of ICT penetration on deforestation is estimated by using bivariate and multivariate fixed time effect models. In the sample selection process, those countries having 2% or more forest area as a percentage of total land area we included in our analysis. The largest sample includes 174 countries. The period under study is between 1991 and 2012. It is found that ICT penetration is significantly and negatively associated with deforestation. The results are robust to the inclusion of a number of control variables as well as different indicators of ICT penetration and deforestation as such all available four ICT indicators and two deforestation indicators are used. To avoid potential spurious regression problems in the analyses, the original models are re-estimated by using the stationary forms of all independent and dependent variables. A strong negative correlation between ICT indicators and deforestation indicators is also supported by the findings of re-estimated bivariate and multivariate models. Empirical evidence at the macro level provided in this paper confirms the results mentioned in the case studies. © 2019 Rasim Yilmaz et al., published by Sciendo.Öğe The long-run analysis of the association between macroeconomic variables and suicide: the case of Turkic-speaking countries in Central Asia(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Oksak, Yüksel; Koyuncu, Cüneyt; Yılmaz, RasimUsing an unbalanced data set covering the years from 1990 to 2017, this study examines the long-run relationship between three selected macroeconomic variables (unemployment, per capita gross domestic product (GDP) and inflation) and suicide rates for Turkic-speaking countries in Central Asia and the South Caucasus (Azerbaijan, Kazakhstan, Kyrgyzstan, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan). The mean group estimation results suggest that among the three macroeconomic variables under study, only the unemployment rate has a statistically significant relationship with the suicide rate for the Central Asian Turkic-speaking countries. Regarding country-specific estimations, results suggest that all macroeconomic variables under study correlate with the suicide rate for some countries in the sample. Overall, the empirical findings of the study suggest that unemployment and per capita GDP are important contributors of suicide and intentional self-harm in Central Asia. Estimation results also call attention to the inflation rate.
