    Is There Convergence in Renewable Energy Deployment? Evidence From a New Panel Unit Root Test With Smooth and Sharp Structural Breaks
    (Pergamon-elsevier Science Ltd, 2023) Corakci, Aysegul; Omay, Tolga
    This study examines whether the contribution of renewable energy to the total primary energy supply converges in a panel of 24 OECD countries over the period 1960-2020. To this end, a new panel unit root test that allows for both sharp and smooth breaks is proposed to test for the stochastic convergence hypothesis. Although renewable energy convergence is not rejected when the newly proposed test is applied to the full panel of OECD countries, it found only moderate support within the members of the panel using a sequential panel selection methodology. In fact, in two high-income OECD countries, the contribution of renewable energy to the primary energy supply shows no sign of convergence: Poland and Iceland. Therefore, the renewable energy shares seem to be converging to a common steady state in only a group of OECD countries over the long run. This uneven pattern of convergence, in turn, suggests that the OECD countries are still far away from developing a common sustainable renewable energy target, calling for urgent international policy cooperation to encourage the divergent econo-mies to seek out the menu of policies that ensure the worldwide success of renewable energy transformation.

    Current Account and Credit Growth: the Role of Household Credit and Financial Depth
    (Elsevier Science inc, 2020) Ekinci, Mehmet Fatih; Ekinci, Mehmet Fatih; Omay, Tolga; Omay, Tolga; Ekinci, Mehmet Fatih; Omay, Tolga; Economics; Economics
    Understanding the impact of financial variables on the current account balance is one of the priorities of academic literature and policymakers. Evidence from a broad panel of advanced and emerging countries shows that an increase in credit growth is associated with a significant deterioration in the current account balance. When we examine the roles of the components of credit, we find that an increase in household credit causes a significant decline in the current account balance, whereas an increase in business loans has no significant effect. Therefore, our findings indicate that the significant negative impact of credit growth on the current account balance is driven by household credit. Furthermore, we show that total and household credit growth rates have a stronger negative effect on the current account balance for lower levels of financial depth. Our results suggest that targeted policy measures that curb household credit growth might be more effective to reduce external imbalances particularly at the early stages of financial deepening.

    Uygulanan Politikaların Süt Üretimine Etkisi: Seçilmiş Ab Ülkeleri ve Türkiye Karşılaştırması
    (2024) Güncer, Kemal; Omay, Tolga
    Dünya nüfusundaki artışın, gelir artışları ile tarım ürünlerine olan talebi artırması ve tarımsal ürün talebinin bileşiminde değişikliklere yol açması beklenmektedir. Bu büyüyen gıda talebini karşılamak için tarımsal üretimde önemli artışlar gereklidir. Ancak, dünya üzerinde tarımsal üretimde kullanılabilecek arazi miktarının sınırlıdır. Bu durum, tarımda üretim artışları için birim arazide elde edilen üretim miktarının artırılması yani verimlilik artışlarının zorunlu olduğunu göstermektedir. Ayrıca tarım sektöründe devlet müdahalesi yaygın olarak uygulanmakta ve üretimdeki artışlar makroekonomik politika ve düzenlemelere bağlı kalmaktadır. Tarımsal destek politikalarının verimlilik üzerindeki etkisi desteklerin niteliğine bağlıdır. Verimlilik ölçütleri arasında kısmi faktör verimliliği (KFV) ve toplam faktör verimliliği (TFV) bulunmakta, ancak TFV literatürde daha baskın olarak kullanılmaktadır. Tarım sektöründe çalışan verilerin kalitesi dikkate alındığında geleneksel TFV yaklaşımlarının büyümenin nedenleri hakkında yeterli bilgi sağlamamakta ve büyümenin teknolojik ve kurumsal değişim, tarımsal politika ve tasarım ile ilişkilisini ele almaktadır. Bu nedenle, çalışmada, KFV ve TFV yaklaşımlarının eksikliklerini gidermek ve tarımsal büyüme üzerindeki etkileri analiz etmek amacıyla yeni bir ölçüt olarak birleştirilmiş yaklaşım geliştirilmiştir. Bu çerçevede, Türkiye'deki süt üretiminin belirleyicilerini analiz etmek ve çözümlemek amacıyla 1961-2017 dönemi üzerine odaklanılmış, aynı dönemde, hayvancılık ve süt sektörlerini yoğun şekilde destekleyen Almanya, Fransa ve Hollanda gibi üç Avrupa Birliği ülkesi ile regresyon analizini de içeren karşılaştırmalı bir çalışma yapılmıştır.

    Is real per capita state personal income stationary? New nonlinear, asymmetric panel-data evidence
    (Wiley, 2020) Emirmahmutoglu, Furkan; Gupta, Rangan; Miller, Stephen M.; Omay, Tolga
    This paper re-examines the stochastic properties of U.S. state real per capita personal income, using new panel unit-root procedures. The new developments incorporate non-linearity, asymmetry, and cross-sectional correlation within panel-data estimation. Including nonlinearity and asymmetry finds that 43 states exhibit stationary real per capita personal income whereas including only nonlinearity produces 42 states that exhibit stationarity. Stated differently, we find that two states exhibit nonstationary real per capita personal income when considering nonlinearity, asymmetry, and cross-sectional dependence.

    Testing the Hysteresis Effect in the Us State-Level Unemployment Series
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2020) Omay, Tolga; Ozcan, Burcu; Shahbaz, Muhammed
    This paper re-examines the stochastic time series behaviour of the monthly unemployment rate in 50 states of the United States (US) for the period 1976-2017 using a number of state-of-the-art unit root tests. The new developments incorporate structural break, nonlinearity, asymmetry, and cross-sectional correlation within panel-data estimation including the use of a sequential panel selection method. While not previously considered, sequential panel selection enabled us to determine and separate the stationary and nonstationary series in the sample. The empirical findings are in support of the stationarity of unemployment rate in 47 states. The findings confirm a natural rate hypothesis for the labour markets in the most US states, indicating that labour market shocks have solely temporary effects on state-level unemployment. This empirical study provides significant state-specific policy implications.

    Hisse Senedi Getirileri, Bitcoin Getirileri ve Riskten Kaçınma Arasındaki İlişki: Çok Değişkenli Bir Garch Modelinden Kanıtlar
    (Sosyoekonomi Soc, 2021) Sivrikaya, Ayşen; İren, Perihan; Omay, Tolga
    Bu çalışma, çok değişkenli bir GARCH modeli kullanarak ABD Dow Jones Borsasında işlem gören hisse senedi getirileri, Bitcoin getirileri ve bunların belirsizlikleri arasındaki ilişkileri araştırmaktadır. Özellikle, yüksek ve düşük olmak üzere farklı risk iştahının ve getirilerde belirsizliğin yüksek olduğu dönemlerde Bitcoin ve ABD hisse senedi getirilerinin verdiği tepkileri karşılaştırmaktadır. Sonuçlar, Bitcoin getirisinin riskten kaçınılan veya yüksek belirsizliğin olduğu dönemlerde hisse senedi gibi tepki verdiğini, ancak iki getiri arasındaki ilişkinin sürdürülebilir olmadığını göstermektedir. Öte yandan, ABD borsa yatırımcıları tüm örneklem dönemi boyunca riskten kaçınma davranışını gösterirken, Bitcoin yatırımcıları aynı davranışı göstermemektedir.

    Fractional Unit-Root Tests Allowing for a Fractional Frequency Flexible Fourier Form Trend: Predictability of Covid-19
    (Springer, 2021) Omay, Tolga; Baleanu, Dumitru
    In this study we propose a fractional frequency flexible Fourier form fractionally integrated ADF unit-root test, which combines the fractional integration and nonlinear trend as a form of the Fourier function. We provide the asymptotics of the newly proposed test and investigate its small-sample properties. Moreover, we show the best estimators for both fractional frequency and fractional difference operator for our newly proposed test. Finally, an empirical study demonstrates that not considering the structural break and fractional integration simultaneously in the testing process may lead to misleading results about the stochastic behavior of the Covid-19 pandemic.

    Phase and Wave Dependent Analysis of Health Expenditure Efficiency: a Sample of Oecd Evidence
    (Frontiers Media Sa, 2023) Boduroglu, Elif; Atici, Kazim Baris; Omay, Tolga
    IntroductionHealth expenditures are a factor that reflects the government's public health policy and contributes to the protection of national health. Therefore, this study focuses on measuring the effectiveness of health expenditures in order to evaluate and improve the public health system and policy during the pandemic period. MethodIn order to examine the effectiveness of health expenditures, the behaviors of the pandemic process were analyzed in two stages. The number of daily cases is analyzed in the first stage by dividing it into waves and phases according to the transmission coefficient (R). For this classification, the discrete cumulative Fourier function estimation is used. In the second stage, the unit root test method was used to estimate the stationarity of the number of cases in order to examine whether the countries made effective health expenditures according to waves and phases. The series being stationary indicates that the cases are predictable and that health expenditure is efficient. Data consists of daily cases from February 2020 to November 2021 for 5 OECD countries. ConclusionThe general results are shown that cases cannot be predicted, especially in the first stage of the pandemic. In the relaxation phase and at the beginning of the second wave, the countries that were seriously affected by the epidemic started to control the number of cas es by taking adequate measures, thus increasing the efficiency of their health systems. The common feature of all the countries we examined is that phase 1, which represents the beginning of the waves, is not stationary. After the waves fade, it can be concluded that the stationary number of health cases cannot be sustainable in preventing new waves' formation. It is seen that countries cannot make effective health expenditures for each wave and stage. According to these findings, the periods in which countries made effective health expenditures during the pandemic are shown. DiscussionThe study aims to help countries make effective short- and long-term decisions about pandemics. The research provides a view of the effectiveness of health expenditures on the number of cases per day in 5 OECD countries during the COVID-19 Pandemic.

    Representation of Omitted Variable Bias With the Total Derivative Method
    (Universal Wiser Publisher, 2024) Omay, Tolga; Elitas, Zeynep
    This study aims to provide an understanding of the concept of omitted variable bias through the total derivative method. This novel approach that is often overlooked could bring a new perspective to statisticians, econometricians, or researchers in neighboring disciplines such as social sciences, management, or economics. In order to complement this mathematical method, the study also employs graphical representations. By doing so, we provide a detailed walkthrough of the total derivative method, its visual depiction, and its application to the omitted variable bias. We believe that this approach can enhance the understanding of regression analysis and foster a deeper connection between mathematics and econometrics. Overall, this study can contribute to the development of new theoretical foundations using the total differential method in this context.

    (2023) Kucuker, Mustafa Can; Omay, Tolga; Celik, Esref Ugur; Erdal, Fehmi Buğra
    Bu çalışmada, nitelikli çalışan başına reel GSYH düzeyini etkileyen sosyoe- konomik faktörler üzerinde durulmuştur. Bu amaçla Türk Cumhuriyetleri için makroekonomik ve sosyo-politik performans endeksleri oluşturulmuştur. Yeni oluşturulan bu endeksler kullanılarak, nitelikli çalışan başına düşen reel GSYH düzeyinin belirleyicileri literatürde ilk kez analiz edilmektedir. Ampi- rik sonuçlar, belirli eşik düzeylerinin nitelikli çalışan başına reel GSYH düze- yini önemli ölçüde etkilediğini göstermektedir. Sonuç olarak, çalışmada yer verilen ülkelerin politika yapıcıları, ülkelerinin refahı açısından iyi organize edilmiş politikalar yürütmek için makroekonomik ve sosyo-politik perfor- mans endekslerin eşik değerlerini ciddi şekilde göz önünde bulundurmalıdır.
