Öğe Quality of government, egalitarianism, and welfare state attitudes(Economics Bulletin, 2015) Baslevent, C.; Kirmanoglu, H.The main objective of this study is to examine the impact of the quality of government and egalitarian values on welfare state attitudes. Using data from the European Social Survey, we estimate models in which individuals' attitudes towards the welfare state are explained by their socio-demographic characteristics, income, employment and health statuses, an indicator of egalitarian values, and country-level indicators of the quality of government. Our multilevel model estimates reveal that individual-level characteristics influence attitudes in predictable ways, but the impact of the quality of government and how it interacts with egalitarianism depends on the specific attitude being examined. While the impact of egalitarian values on the attitudes towards more taxation and social spending by the government is larger in higher-quality-of-government countries, the opposite is the case with regard to the provision of excessively redistributive policies that benefit certain groups. Our findings also point to the importance of the distinction between individuals' perceived quality of government and expert-based country-level indicators of government quality. The two measures not only refer to different aspects of good governance, but they also give rise to different empirical methods that might yield different patterns. © 2015.

In the econometric work, we investigate the link between youth unemployment and the general conditions in the labor market andalso compare the responsiveness of youth and adult employment to economic growth. We find that adult unemployment rates and relative cohort size are both significantly related with youth unemployment rates and,in comparison to adults, young labor force participants are at a disadvantagein terms of changes in employment status over the business cycles. In the face of persistent patterns such as higher unemployment rates and higher rates of unregistered employment among the younger workers, policy suggestions are made throughout the chapter for the improvement of the labor market situation of Turkish youth. © 2012 Nova Science Publishers, Inc.

We consider the impact of several factors including the timing of the departure from the origin and the migrants' self-declared emotional attachment to their origins. Using a nationwide survey conducted before the 2011 general elections, we find that the 'region-of-origin' effect is present only among those who identify themselves with their original - rather than current - provinces, Investigations relating to the timing of departure reveal that the effect is absent for those who relocate when aged 18-to-20. i.e. around the age of discretion and the age at which many young people leave their towns to receive higher education. This interpretation is consistent our finding that the region-of-origin effect declines with the years of schooling.
