The idea that the growing amount of waste, which has harmful effects on the environment and health, should be channeled into opportunities that will generate economic benefits has gained interest in recent years. As a result, the circular economy's take-make-remake perspective has begun to take the place of the linear economy's take-make-dispose perspective. It is assumed that wastes can be a potential secondary raw material, can be converted into energy, and can provide economic benefits through trade in used goods. These benefits can all be found within the framework of the circular economy, in which waste reduction, recycling, and reuse strategies are adopted. Because of national policies by itself won't be enough to maintain the sustainability of circular economy strategies on a global scale, waste trade between countries is essential. In this context, it is aimed to direct wastes to countries with comparative advantage in terms of classification and processing processes, and thus to provide economic gains on a global scale, with waste trade between countries. Based on the gravity model, the study aims to identify the variables influencing Turkey's import of waste, which is significant in the global import of waste. Using annual data for the period 2006 to 2020, the Poisson Pseudo Maximum Likelihood (PPML) method was used to examine the factors influencing Turkey's imports of waste from 63 trading partners. The findings show that Turkey's waste imports are positively influenced by the income and population levels of waste exporting nations. As expected, the distance between countries has a negative impact on Turkey's waste imports. On the other hand, the landlocked status of the waste exporting country, its environmental performance and the decline in corruption all contribute to a decrease in Turkey's waste imports.

It is widely acknowledged that FDI can have a significant impact on ecological changes. The phenomenon whereby FDI contributes to environmental degradation is commonly referred to as the pollution haven hypothesis, whereas the converse phenomenon, whereby FDI mitigates environmental degradation, is known as the pollution halo hypothesis. On the other hand, institutional quality has a significant impact on the FDI-EFP relationship. In this study, the environmental effects of FDI in Turkey for the period 1984–2018 are examined employing time series with Fourier extension, considering the institutional quality. Fourier function models give more effective results in modeling structural breaks. Initially, the Fourier techniques are used to explore the unit root and cointegration relationship. Then, following cointegration, the DOLS estimator extended with Fourier terms ...

Kurumların mutluluk üzerinde önemli bir faktör olduğu kabul edilmekle birlikte söz konusu ilişki ülkelere, gelir düzeyine ve zamana göre değişiklik gösterebilmektedir. Bu çalışmada 93 ülkede 2006-2019 dönemi için kurumlar ve mutluluk ilişkisi ülke ve kişi başı gelirden oluşan iki birim ve bir zaman boyutunun olduğu üç boyutlu panel veri modeli ile araştırılmıştır. Sabit ve tesadüfi etkiler tahmincilerinden elde edilen bulgular kurumsal kalitenin mutluluk üzerinde pozitif etkisinin olduğunu göstermektedir. Ayrıca kişi başı gelir etkisinin varlığı nedeniyle örneklem dört gruba ayrılmış ve iki boyutlu analiz de gerçekleştirilmiştir. Buradan elde edilen bulgularda ise kurumsal kalitenin mutluluk üzerindeki etkisi düşük kişi başı gelire sahip ülkelerde negatif, diğerlerinde ise pozitiftir.

Behind individual specific, economic, social, political factors, also institutional factors effect income inequality. Lower income inequality has expected with higher institutional quality. This study investigates the relationship between institutional quality and income inequality in 23 OECD countries, using fixed and random panel estimation approach and annual data over the period of 1984-2011. Evidence from a panel data estimation shows that a negative relationship between institutional quality and income inequality exist. According to this result, institutional quality is an essential tool for reducing income inequality.
