Article Citation - WoS: 5Citation - Scopus: 5Revisiting the Finance-Growth Nexus: the Turkish Case, 1980-2010(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2017) Ismihan, Mustafa; Dincergok, Burcu; Cilasun, Seyit MuminIn Turkey, the empirical results on the link between financial development and economic growth are mixed. The existing studies do not take into account the fact that Turkey has experienced endemic political and economic instabilities over extended periods. This study aims to analyse the role of macroeconomic instability and public borrowing on the finance-growth nexus in Turkey by using time series econometric techniques over the 1980-2010 period. In doing so, we attempt to extend the existing literature by taking into account the role of macroeconomic instability as well as public borrowing. Our results reveal that there are additional - albeit indirect - channels between finance and growth via the effects of macro instability and public borrowing on financial development and economic growth. After taking into account the effects of overall instability and public borrowing, we found that growth-financial development relationship is bidirectional and permanent. In other words, in Turkish case, economic growth and financial development are jointly determined. Thus, our results shed some light on the ambiguity of the evidence on the link between financial development and economic growth for Turkey.Article Citation - WoS: 1Citation - Scopus: 1Capital Structure Decisions Under Uncertainty: the Case of Turkey(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2024) Dincergok, Burcu; Eruygur, Hakki OzanThis study analyzes the relationship between uncertainty and target leverage ratios on manufacturing firms listed in Borsa Istanbul between 2005-2020. To handle possible instrument proliferation and weak instrument problems of System GMM methodology of dynamic panel data, we mainly adopted the Quasi Maximum Likelihood estimator and found that uncertainty has a significant negative marginal effect on target leverage ratios. Our analysis revealed that firms with high levels of uncertainty have lower average leverage ratios than other firms. ANCOVA analysis results show that uncertainty is in the first three time-varying variables which have the highest impact on target leverage variation.
