Assessment of Sustainability of the European Union and Turkish Agricultural Sectors
(Bononia Univ Press, 2010) Mollavelioglu, Sukru; Mihci, Hakan; Cagatay, Selim; Ulucan, Aydin
The main aim of this paper is to analyze the efficiency of the Turkish agricultural sector in comparison with the European Union (EU) countries with respect to sustainability for the 1995-2005 periods. For this comparison, Malmquist index technique is used. The main findings of the current study indicate that total factor productivity increases during the 1995-2005 period mainly originating from the technological improvements for all the European countries. Furthermore, while the European Union countries total factor productivity show a 1.8 percent rise on average, the Turkish factor productivity declines nearly 2.0 per cent in the same period. As a result, one can argue that the gap between European Union countries and Turkey has widened from the sustainability perspective in the recent decade.
A Convergence Analysis on the Investment Development Path Approach
(Sosyoekonomi Soc, 2021) Yazgan, Sekip; Ceylan, Resat; Mollavelioglu, Sukru
This study, which examines whether the investment development path curves of the developed and developing countries show convergence behaviour in the 1970-2018 period, has two main objectives. The first is to analyse whether foreign direct investment eliminates the development differences between countries based on the investment development path approach. Using the nonlinear unit root tests developed recently, the second is to investigate whether the convergence behaviour of the investment development path curves is affected by macroeconomic shocks. According to the findings, these countries' investment development path curves exhibit a non-linear convergence behaviour, and therefore the convergence process is affected by macroeconomic shocks.
