Conference Object Citation - WoS: 16Citation - Scopus: 18Determinants of Entry in Turkish Manufacturing Industries(Springer, 2006-10) Gunalp, Burak; Cilasun, Seyit MuminThe entry of new firms into markets plays an important role in efficient resource allocation and evolution for long term economic growth. Employing dynamic panel data techniques, this paper investigates entry behavior in 66 four-digit Turkish manufacturing industries for the 1993-1999 period. The results of this paper suggest that potential entrants observe the market before the entry takes place; entry is, in general, a follow-up process; and incumbent firms seem to collude to prevent entry in Turkish manufacturing industries. In addition, the real interest rate appears to be a very important determinant of entry decision.Article Citation - WoS: 2Citation - Scopus: 6Adult Education as a Stepping-Stone To Better Jobs: an Analysis of the Adult Education Survey in Turkey(Sage Publications inc, 2018-07-08) Cilasun, Seyit Mumin; Demir-Seker, Sirma; Dincer, N. Nergiz; Tekin-Koru, AycaThe objective of this article is to investigate whether adult education (AE) can be used as a tool in facilitating transitions to/in the labor market, using the cross-sectional Adult Education Survey of Turkey (2012). AE is defined as the nonformal education for individuals aged older than 25 years. The outcome of AE is measured by changing jobs for employed and finding a job for the unemployed. Concentrating on employed people, we analyze both the determinants and the outcome of participation in AE for the purpose of changing jobs; and second, concentrating on unemployed people, we analyze both the determinants and the outcome of participation in AE for the purpose of getting employed. We find that once young males who are already working participate in AE for changing work, independent of their education or how AE is financed, they can be successful in doing so. The results of the paper suggest that AE programs offered by the government can serve as a tool in increasing income of the less educated and the unemployed by facilitating their transition to the labor market.Article Citation - WoS: 22Citation - Scopus: 29An Empirical Analysis of Household Education Expenditures in Turkey(Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2016-11) Acar, Elif Oznur; Gunalp, Burak; Cilasun, Seyit MuminUsing Turkish Household Budget Surveys from 2003, 2007 and 2012, this paper investigates the determinants of household education expenditures within an Engel curve framework. In particular, we estimate Tobit regressions of real educational expenditures by income groups using a number of household characteristics (i.e. rural residence, employment status, age, educational attainment of the household head, household size, share of female students and primary school students in the household, and total number of students in the household) to examine if and to what extent the determinants of educational expenditures differ by income groups; income elasticities of educational spending evolves over time; and children from middle-class and poor families can benefit enough from educational opportunities. The estimated expenditure elasticities have lower values for the top- and the bottom income quartiles while they have larger values for the middle-income quartiles. The results also show that for all income groups the expenditure elasticity of education increases over time, indicating that Turkish households allocates greater share of their budgets to education expenditures.

Conventional Engle and Granger [Estimation Test Econ. 55(1987) 2251-276] and Johansen's [J. Econ. Dyn. Control 12 (1988) 231-254] cointegration tests give mixed evidence for a possible long-run relationship between those two series. The model-free and seasonally robust peri odogram-based test fails to reject the null of no-cointegration relationship. However, these two series move together in the short run.

A key aspect of our analysis is that we examine the link between household structure and household income over the life-cycle. The main finding of the study is that household income profiles conditional on educational attainment in Turkey are non-decreasing and quite flat over the life-cycle. This is in stark contrast to the hump-shaped household income profiles reported for developed countries. There are three main reasons for this fact in Turkey: i) multiple families live together in the same household, especially when the household head is very young or old, and many single adult children who are employed live in their parents' households. In other words, household formation helps to smooth income. ii) Many household heads are still employed at end of their life-cycle, especially among the less-educated. iii) Pension income levels, for those who are qualified for them, are relatively high compared to other components of income.Article Do R&d Expenditures Matter for Labor Productivity in Oecd Countries? an Unresolved Question(2013) Erdil, Erkan; Cılasun, Seyit Mümin; Eruygur, AyşegülÇalışmanın amacı, 22 OECD ülkesi için 1991 2003 dönemi verilerinikullanarak araştırma geliştirme harcamaları ile işgücü verimliliği arasındakiilişkiyi panel veri yöntemleri kullanarak incelemektir.

Bu bağlamda, bu çalışmada OECD ülkelerindeki geniş bant internet talebinin panel veri ve yatay kesit analizleri ile 2006, 2008 ve 2010 yılları için kişi başına düşen gelir, ortalama internet fiyatları, ortalama internet hızları, megabit başına düşen ortalama fiyatlar, ülkelerin sahip oldukları genç nüfus oranları ve genişbant internet teknolojilerinin kullanıldığı yıl sayılarından oluşan bir veri seti kullanılarak incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır.Ampirik sonuçlar, ülkelerdeki kişi başına düşen gelirin, ortalama internet hızının ve genişbant teknolojisinin kullanıldığı yıl sayısının; genişbant internet talebini etkileyen önemli faktörler olduğunu göstermiştir. Genç nüfus oranı talebi etkileyen bir faktör değilken, fiyat etkisi zaman içinde azalmıştır. Çalışma sonucunda genişbant internetinin günümüzde kullanımı zorunlu olan mal ve hizmetler içerisinde yer aldığı tespit edilmiştir.Article An Analysis of Academic Performance: Could Family Income and Medium of Instruction Be Determinants?(2013) Cılasun, Seyit MüminÖğrencilerin üniversitedeki akademik performansları üzerine oldukça eskiye dayanan yoğun bir literatür bulunmaktadır. Ancak gelişmekte olan ülkelere baktığımızda bu alanda yapılmış yeterli sayıda çalışma bulunmamaktadır. Bu çalışmada Atılım Üniversitesindeki işletme bölümü öğrencilerinin CGPAlerini belirleyen faktörler, özellikle de ailenin gelir düzeyi ve eğitim dili incelenmiştir. Birinci sınıftaki öğrencilere anketler uygulanarak, öğrencilerin ailelerinin eğitim durumu ve gelir düzeyi, cinsiyetleri, yaşları, üniversite giriş puanları, lise mezuniyet notları ve bölümleri (Türkçe İşletme mi yoksa İngilizce İşletme mi) hakkında bilgi edinilmiştir. Anketlerden elde edilen verilerle oluşturulan model tahmin edilmiş ve şu sonuçlara ulaşılmıştır: Ailenin gelir düzeyinin akademik performans üzerinde negatif bir etkisi varken, üniversite giriş puanı başarıyı olumlu yönde etkilemektedir. Öte yandan, eğitim dilinin akademik performans üzerinde bir etkisi olmadığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.Article Citation - WoS: 10A Cross-Sectional Analysis of Income, Consumption and Saving Behavior of Turkish Household(Bilgesel Yayincilik San & Tic Ltd, 2009-07-01) Cilasun, Seyit Muemin; Kirdar, Murat GuerayA cross-sectional analysis of income, consumption and saving behavior of Turkish household This paper investigates the age profiles of income, consumption and saving of Turkish households, compares them to the profiles reported for various developing and developed countries, and evaluates the results within a life-cycle theory framework. These life-cycle profiles are constructed for separate income quartiles and education groups as well as for the whole population. It is crucial to understand the consumption and saving behavior of different income groups in Turkey due to the high level of income inequality. As current income could be affected by temporary income shocks, we use educational attainment level as an instrument for permanent income in analyzing the relationship between income and consumption/saving. Furthermore, the age profiles presented in this study provide us information as to how savings may evolve in the future as a result of changing demographic conditions. In the second part of the study, cross-section profiles of income, consumption, and saving from 2002 to 2006 are compared to see how these profiles have evolved over time.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1An Empirical Analysis of the Average Plant Start-Up Size in Turkish Manufacturing Industries(Springer, 2011-12-22) Cilasun, Seyit Mumin; Gunalp, BurakMany studies have found start-up size of a firm to be an important determinant of its subsequent performance and probability of survival. The aim of this study is to investigate the determinants of average plant start-up size in 51 four-digit Turkish manufacturing industries for the period 1993-1999. The results of the study suggest that while industry characteristics such as industry growth rate and capital intensity have a positive impact on the average plant start-up size, industrial concentration, import penetration, and the change in research and development expenditures are negatively associated with the same variable. In addition, the macroeconomic environment is also an important determinant of the choice of plant start-up size. Finally, we find evidence that may indicate 'following' (herd) behavior in Turkish manufacturing industries.
