    Assessing competition in the Turkish cement industry: insights from the boone indicator
    (Emerald Publishing Limited, 2024-08) Yıldız, Hakan; Köprücü, Yılmaz; Şengül, Serkan; 355807
    Purpose – This paper investigates the degree of competitiveness within the Turkish cement industry, employing firm-level quarterly data spanning from 2008 to 2016. Design/methodology/approach – To assess the level and trajectory of competition among Turkish cement firms, we employ the Boone indicator (β) as formulated by Boone (2008). This indicator, rooted in the concept of relative profit differences (RPD), serves as a robust metric for gauging competitive dynamics. According to the ß indicator, firms exhibiting higher relative efficiency are expected to secure greater profits and market shares in a fiercely competitive market. Additionally, we utilize concentration indices for the purpose of revealing comparable findings. Findings – Empirical findings reveal that an enhancement in firms’ efficiency corresponds to a proportionally modest increase in either market share or profits, implying a lower degree of competition within the Turkish cement industry. Although the specific magnitudes of ß estimates exhibit temporal fluctuations, we may conclude that the Turkish cement industry does not conform to the ideals of perfect competition. The concentration indices calculated on the sample also support this result. Research limitations/implications – This research is limited to the Turkish cement companies over the period 2008–2016. Originality/value – The studies measuring the level of competition in the Turkish cement sector are generally based on concentration ratios. In this study, we assess the competition level by using a different methodology based on parametric procedures.

    Covid-19 pandemisinin Türkiye bankacılık sektöründeki sistemik risk üzerine etkileri: MES analizi ile karşılaştırmalı bir inceleme
    (Muhasebe ve Finansman Öğretim Üyeleri Bilim ve Araştırma Derneği, 2025-01) Şengül, Serkan; 355807
    Bu çalışma, Türkiye’deki bankacılık sektörünün COVID-19 pandemisi öncesi ve sonrası dönemdeki sistemik risk seviyelerini analiz etmektedir. 2016-2023 yılları arasında Borsa İstanbul'a kote altı bankanın (Akbank, İş Bankası, Garanti BBVA, Yapı Kredi, Halkbank ve Vakıfbank) Marjinal Beklenen Açık (Marginal Expected Shortfall-MES), koşullu korelasyon ve koşullu volatilite gibi finansal risk göstergelerine dayanan analiz, pandeminin sektörde kırılganlıkları artırdığını ortaya koymaktadır. Sonuçlar, pandemi süresince uygulanan genişletici politikaların bankaların kısa vadeli likidite ihtiyaçlarını karşılamasına rağmen uzun vadede sistemik riski yükselttiğini göstermektedir. Ayrıca, pandemi sonrası dönemde Türkiye'deki ani politika değişiklikleri ve merkez bankası bağımsızlığına dair belirsizliklerin finansal istikrarı zayıflattığı gözlemlenmiştir. Çalışma, Türkiye’de finansal düzenlemelerin kriz dönemlerinde daha dayanıklı bir bankacılık yapısının geliştirilmesi için stratejik önemini vurgulamaktadır.

    Dynamics of Wheat Production In Early Republican Türkiye (1925–1960)
    (AVAZ Akademik Düşünce Derneği, 2025-05) Canbay, Şerif; Şengül, Serkan; 278780; 355807
    This study aims to analyze the socioeconomic and energy-based factors determining wheat production in Türkiye between 1925 and 1960 using econometric methodology. In the early Republican period, the agricultural sector was structured as one of the main axes of economic development, and wheat, as a strategic crop, was at the center of both production policies and support mechanisms. In this study, wheat production is explained by variables such as per capita income level, number of students enrolled in primary school, electricity production and crude oil price, and the ARDL bounds test approach is used in the model established with annual data. The findings reveal that electricity generation and economic growth support production in the long run, whereas the education indicator has a limiting effect on production. The lagged effects of oil prices, on the other hand, indicate that cost pressures have negative effects on production over time. Short-run analyses reveal that the effects of variables vary over time and that production decisions are affected not only by technical but also by structural transformation processes. The study provides a historical data-based contribution to explain the multidimensional structure of agricultural production in the first 35 years of the Republic.

    Economic and Demographic Effects of Public Pension Expenditures: The Case of Türkiye
    (Sivas Cumhuriyet University, 2025-02) Şengül, Serkan; 355807
    This study investigates the economic and demographic factors affecting public pension expenditures in Türkiye and provides significantinformation about the sustainability of the country's social security system. Using annual data from 1980 to 2019, the study employed the ARDL bounds testing approach to examine the short and long-run effects of GDP per capita, public debt, tax revenues, and the elderly dependency ratio on pension expenditures. The 2001 economic crisis led to a structural break, which is modeled by adding a dummy variable. The results show that GDP per capita reduces pension expenditures in the long run, reflecting the mitigating effect of economic growth on fiscal pressure. In contrast, public debt exerts a notably positive impact, highlighting the fiscal burden of pension financing through borrowing. Tax revenues show a limited but positive effect, while the elderly dependency ratio emerges as the most influential determinant, highlighting the challenges posed by the demographic transition. The short-run analysis confirms a rapid return to equilibrium, pointing to a robust error correction mechanism. The findings underscore the need for social security reforms, including measures to raise the retirement age, increase private pension participation, and address demographic challenges. Despite its contributions, the study is limited by not including variables such as health expenditures and labor market dynamics. Nevertheless, it provides a valuable framework for policymakers to develop growth-oriented policies, ensure fiscal discipline, and promote sustainable social security systems. These insights are relevant not only for Türkiye but also for other countries facing similar demographic and economic pressures, making this study an important contribution to the ongoing debate on pension system reforms.

    Evaluating Environmental Performance in the Turkish Cement Industry
    (Springer, 2025-04) Yıldız, Hakan; Şengül, Serkan; Köprücü, Yılmaz; 355807; Tsounis, Nicholas; Vlachvei, Aspasia
    The purpose of this study is to investigate the environmental performance of the Turkish cement industry. Employing the data set of 8 firms operating in the cement industry and using Data Envelopment Analysis, we estimate the CO2 efficiency in the industry. The empirical findings suggest that the average carbon efficiency in the sector is approximately 71%, indicating substantial room for efficiency enhancement through innovative production techniques and alternative fueluse. However, asignificant reduction intechnical efficiency hasbeen observable over the years. Promoting sustainable practices and investing in technological advancements can reverse this trend. Also, such policies can reduce the industry’s carbon footprint, thus it may be possible to combat greenhouse gas emissions and achieve the targets set in this regard.

    Exploring the Role of Financial Development on Energy Consumption in Turkiye
    (Adem Anbar, 2025-04) Karahan Dursun, Pınar; 414023
    This study investigates the impact of financial development on energy consumption in Turkiye from 1985 to 2019. To this end, the study employs Bound test, ARDL model and VECM-based causality test. In the empirical analysis, economic growth and foreign direct investment are included in the estimated model. The results of the Bound test indicate that there is cointegration between the series. The results of the estimated ARDL model show that financial development contributes to the increase in energy consumption both in the long run and in the short run. The results of the longrun ARDL model show that a 1% increase in financial development leads to an increase in energy consumption by 0.36%. The study also concludes that economic growth is a driver of energy use, while human capital negatively affects energy consumption in the long-run. The results of the causality test in the VECM framework reveal that there is a causal relationship from financial development to energy consumption in the short run, and all explanatory variables together are Granger causes of energy consumption in the long run.

    Government Support and SME Growth in Türkiye: A Romer Model Approach with Ridge Regression
    (Kilis 7 Aralık Üniversitesi, 2025-05) Şengül, Serkan; Karahan Dursun, Pınar; 355807; 414023
    Purpose: This study aims to analyze the growth performance of Small and Medium Enterprises (SMEs) in Türkiye using the Romer (1990) endogenous growth model. The focus is on examining the effects of government support, technological progress, and human capital on SME growth. Design/methodology: The study employs Ridge regression analysis on a dataset spanning the period 2015–2022. Variables such as government support, R&D expenditures, patent applications, human capital, and imports are included, aligning with the assumptions of Romer’s model. The structured approach addresses multicollinearity issues, ensuring robust parameter estimates. Findings: The results indicate that government support significantly enhances the growth performance of SMEs. Technological progress and human capital are confirmed as key drivers of economic growth in line with Romer’s model. While R&D expenditures and imports positively influence production, patent applications exhibit a negative short-term effect, suggesting a delayed commercialization process. Limitations: The dataset covers a limited timeframe (2015–2022), which restricts long-term impact assessments. Future studies could expand the analysis to include a longer timeframe and alternative econometric techniques. Originality/Value: This study is among the first to analyze the role of government support on SME growth in Türkiye through the lens of Romer’s endogenous growth model. The use of Ridge regression to address multicollinearity and the focus on micro-level data provide a unique contribution to the literature.

    (Muhasebe ve Finansman Öğretim Üyeleri Bilim ve Araştırma Derneği, 2025-04) Canbay, Şerif; 278780
    Bu çalışma, Güneydoğu Asya Uluslar Birliği'nin Kurucu Beşlisi’ni oluşturan Endonezya, Malezya, Filipinler, Singapur ve Tayland’da doğrudan yabancı yatırımlar ve finansal gelişmişliğin ekonomik büyüme üzerindeki nedensel ilişkisini incelemektedir. 1980-2021 dönemi için panel bootstrap nedensellik testi kullanılarak yapılan analiz, doğrudan yabancı yatırımlar ve finansal gelişmişlik değişkenlerinin ekonomik büyüme üzerindeki etkilerinin ülkeden ülkeye değiştiğini göstermektedir. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, Endonezya’da doğrudan yabancı yatırımlar büyümeyi pozitif yönde etkilerken, finansal gelişmişlik ekonomik büyüme üzerinde negatif bir etkiye sahiptir. Malezya’da benzer şekilde doğrudan yabancı yatırımlar büyümeyi teşvik ederken, finansal gelişmişliğin büyüme üzerindeki etkisi negatif yönlüdür. Filipinler’de finansal gelişmişlik büyümeyi desteklerken, doğrudan yabancı yatırımların büyümeye olumsuz etkisi gözlemlenmiştir. Singapur ve Tayland’da hem doğrudan yabancı yatırımlar hem de finansal gelişmişlik büyüme üzerinde olumsuz etkiye sahiptir.

    Mint ülkelerinde tüketici fiyat endeksi ve cari işlemler dengesinin döviz kuru üzerindeki nedensellik etkisi
    (ISARC, 2025-05) Canbay, Şerif; Özdilek Kırca, Elveda; 278780; Çelik, Ahmet; Akhter, Naseem; Şen Elkoca, Candan
    Bu çalışmada, 1990-2022 dönemine ait yıllık veriler kullanılarak MINT (Meksika, Endonezya, Nijerya ve Türkiye) ülkelerinde tüketici fiyat endeksi (enflasyon) ve cari işlemler dengesinin döviz kuru üzerindeki nedensellik ilişkileri incelenmiştir. Analizde Kónya (2006) Bootstrap Panel Granger Nedensellik yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgulara göre, Endonezya, Meksika ve Nijerya için cari işlemler açığından döviz kuruna doğru negatif yönde anlamlı bir nedensellik saptanmıştır. Aynı ülkelerde enflasyon oranlarından döviz kuruna doğru pozitif yönlü bir nedensellik ilişkisi de gözlemlenmiştir. Bu durum, söz konusu ülkelerde hem dış dengesizliklerin hem de fiyat istikrarsızlıklarının döviz kuru dinamiklerini belirlemede etkili olduğunu göstermektedir. Buna karşılık Türkiye için hem enflasyonun hem de cari işlemler dengesinin döviz kuru üzerinde istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir nedensellik ilişkisi bulunmamıştır.

    Relationship between maritime transport and economic growth: highest maritime transport european countries
    (Ordu University, 2025-01) Canbay, Şerif; Kırca, Mustafa; 278780
    Maritime transport is one of the most widely used transport channels used by countries in foreign trade. The development of maritime transport affects the economic growth levels of countries. In addition, the increase in the level of economic growth of countries increases their share in international foreign trade and this situation increases the importance given by countries to maritime transport day by day. The identification of the effects of maritime transport in countries will provide important information on what countries should do against the shocks they will face in the future. In this context, the study aims to determine whether there is any causality relationship between maritime transport and economic growth variables in Belgium, France, Germany, Italy, Netherlands, Spain, Türkiye, and the United Kingdom, which have the highest maritime transport among European countries. The bootstrap panel causality test was employed to examine the causality relationships between the variables over the time frame of 2008:Q1-2020:Q2. According to the findings, there is a causality relationship from economic growth to maritime transport in all countries except Italy and the Netherlands. There is a causality relationship from maritime transport to economic growth in Türkiye and the United Kingdom. As a result, the relationship between maritime transport and economic growth varies from country to country. This situation reveals the necessity of developing national policies for maritime transport by considering the economic structures of the countries. These findings suggest that countries need more efficient and sustainable maritime transport policies.
