    Accounting for the Heterogeneity in inter-generational links in educational attainment across Europe
    (International Strategic Management Association, 2010) Başlevent, C.; Kirmano?lu, H.
    We use data drawn from the European Social Survey to investigate the extent of inter-generational links in educational attainment across twenty-four European countries. We find that there is a lot of cross-country variation in the observed patterns especially when gender distinction is made at both the parents' and the children's generations. To account for the variation in the estimates obtained in separate country regressions, we propose the use of simple educational inequality measures as country-level control variables. While the variation in the children's educational attainment turns out to be positively associated with the level of inter-generational links, the opposite is the case for the variation in the parents' attainment. The introduction of country-level variables into the analysis brings about the estimation of the econometric models on the pooled sample of all countries and the use of multilevel modeling methods which we find to perform better than least squares estimation.

    Are married women in Turkey more likely to become added or discouraged workers?
    (Blackwell Publishing Ltd, 2003) Başlevent, C.; Onaran, Ö.
    The purpose of this study is to examine the labour market outcomes of married couples to find out which of the added and discouraged worker effects is dominant in urban Turkish families. Using household labour force survey and province-level data from 1988 and 1994, we look for evidence regarding the dependency of the labour force participation decisions of wives and the employment status of their husbands. On yearly and pooled samples of married couples in their prime ages, bivariate probit estimates indicate that the two decisions are negatively correlated. However, the correlation is found to be statistically significant only in the economic crisis year of 1994. We interpret this finding to mean that the added worker effect dominates the discouraged worker effect.
