    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.

    How Does Macroeconomic and Socio-Political Index Affect the Real Gdp Per Qualified Worker? Evidence From Turkic Republics
    (Ahmet Yesevi Univ, 2023) Celik, Esref Ugur; Erdal, Fehmi Bugra; Kucuker, Mustafa Can; Omay, Tolga
    In this study, we concentrated on the socioeconomic factors affecting the level of real GDP per qualified worker. For this purpose, we have used the macroeconomic and socio-political performance index for Turkic Republics. By using these newly established indices, determinants of the level of real GDP per qualified worker are analyzed for the first time in the literature. From the empirical investigation, we found that certain threshold levels significantly affect the real GDP level per qualified worker. Therefore, the policymakers of these countries should seriously consider these threshold levels for macroeconomic and socio-political performance index for conducting a well-organized policy for the prosperity of their countries.
