The aim of this paper is to explore the likely effects of corruption on the foreign direct investments in Turkey. For this purpose, the determinants of foreign direct investments inflows to Turkey from 19 countries over the period of 2002-2012 are examined by means of panel analysis through refining the “Gravity Model” by adding control variables and corruption indicators. The results indicate that the Turkish foreign direct investment inflows have both market and efficiency seeking patterns and corruption is a critical factor for the foreign direct investment inflows.

Literaturde odemeler bilancosu asamalari hipotezi olarak adlandirilan bu teoriye gore, ulkelerin odemeler bilancolarinin uzun donemde belirli asamalari izlemektedir. Soz konusu asamalari belirleyen faktor ise ulkelerin gelismislik duzeyidir. Onceki deneye dayali calismalarin bir bolumu odemeler bilancosu asamalari ile iktisadi gelismislik duzeyi arasindaki dogrusal iliskiyi kismen dogrulamaktadir. Bu cercevede, daha once kullanilan parametrik olmayan bir rassallik testi yardimiyla odemeler bilancosu asamalari hipotezinin gecerliligi Turkiye icin test edilmektedir.

Bu calismada, 2000 ile 2013 yillari arasinda ulusal ve uluslararasi hakemli akademik dergilerde yayinlanmis ve uygulama alani Turkiye’deki cesitli sektorler olan Veri Zarflama Analizi calismalari irdelenmektedir. Calismalar, genel istatistikler (yayin yillari, calismalarin yayinlandiklari dergiler, yazarlarin bagli bulunduklari kurumlar ve yazar sayilari), uygulama alanlari (sektorler ve anahtar kelimeler), ve metodolojik yonelimler (karar birimleri, girdi-cikti degiskenleri, kullanilan olcek, kullanilan odak, yazilimlar ve VZA ile birlikte kullanilan yontemler) gibi kriterler acisindan incelenmektedir. Bu calisma, yayinlar ile ilgili kilit istatistikleri irdelemesinin yani sira, teknigin uygulanisi ile ilgili metodolojik ipuclari ile ile...

The application area is Western Turkey. The methodology is mainly composed of two stages: the first stage is pre-elimination of infeasible sites, and the second stage is evaluation of the available ones. Geographic Information Systems (GIS) are used to generate layers of data and to apply the elimination criteria and constraints. The alternative land areas are handled in terms of identical-sized grids, which are large enough to install one wind turbine each. Multiple Criteria Decision Analysis (MCDA) is then used to rank and sort the grids via the identified evaluation criteria. The problem is evaluated in 13 fields, which are a collection of several grids in order to evaluate larger scale areas to construct wind farms rather than for individual turbines. The evaluations are made both at grid (micro) and field (macro) levels and both deterministic and uncertain data are used. The results reveal a high level of consensus on the most feasible sites between the different MCDA methods applied. The proposed methodology provides a structured decision aid, which can be applied to other energy site selection problems.

The financing of higher education in Turkey is largely met by the student contribution (user charges) / tuition fee and the state. In this study, user charges as public revenue were analysed economically. As a result of the economic analysis, it has been observed that user charges / tuition fees are unchanged even though there is an inflationary environment since the academic year of 2010-2011. Although, user charges/tuition fees needs to be calculated on basis of private benefits, it is ascertained that those who benefit higher private benefits pay less in terms of user charges/tuition fees but those who benefits less pays more in terms of user charges/tuition fees conversely. Since graduates obtain different private benefits from different higher education institutions, user charges/tuition fees should not be collected on the same amounts.
