Öğe The effect of export-oriented growth on female labor market outcomes in Turkey(Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2004) Baslevent, C; Onaran, ÖUsing data from two rounds of an official household labor force survey, this paper analyzes the impact of export-oriented growth strategy on female labor force participation and employment in urban Turkey, controlling for both supply-side and demand-side factors. While the long-term economic growth at the province level is found to have a significant positive effect on both the employment and participation of women, the impact of export-orientation is not as strong and is more pronounced in the case of nonmarried women.

The economic variables can be used to test the familiar hypotheses of economic voting theory - whether individuals vote retrospectively and/or prospectively, and whether they are sociotropic and/or egotropic. The non-economic factors include sociodemographic characteristics as well as identity and issue variables likely to be good predictors of party choice. The analysis focuses on comparing the characteristics of those who intend to vote for the ruling Justice and Development Party (AKP) with those of other parties. According to multinomial logit estimates, young people, especially males, constitute the electoral base for the AKP. Those who have been affected adversely by recent economic developments, as well as those who are against Turkey's accession to the European Union are also more likely to vote for the AKP. The empirical work also provides evidence in support of economic voting hypotheses.Öğe Preference of the unemployed between full-time and part-time jobs(Routledge, 2002) Baslevent, CThis paper examines the factors that determine the preference of the unemployed between the employment states of part-time, full-time, and either kind of job. Evidence is sought in support of an ordering between the three choices and find that the ordering which places the 'either' category in the middle is the most sensible.Öğe The effect of squatter housing on income distribution in urban Turkey(Sage Publications Ltd, 2005) Baslevent, C; Dayioglu, MThe purpose of this study is to examine the effect of home-ownership on income distribution in Turkey. Making use of raw data from an official income distribution survey which provides information on cash and in-kind incomes of household members and imputed rents for home-owners, it is found that home-ownership has an equalising effect on income distribution in the urban areas of Turkey. This result is attributed to the fact that many low-income families reside in squatter housing built at the outskirts of large cities.Öğe Voter profiles and fragmentation in the Turkish party system(Sage Publications Ltd, 2004) Baslevent, C; Kirmanoglu, H; Senatalar, BBased on the multinomial logit estimates of an individual vote intention function, we perform restriction tests to make pairwise comparisons of the voter profiles of the major political parties in Turkey. The economic variables in the model are items that represent the well known hypotheses of economic voting theory, i.e. whether individuals vote retrospectively and/or prospectively, and whether they are sociotropic and/or pocketbook. The non-economic factors include socio-demographic characteristics as well as issues and identity variables that are likely to be good predictors of the party choice. In many cases, restriction tests provide evidence refuting the general view that the Turkish party system is artificially fragmented.
