Does a revenue-neutral shift from indirect to direct taxes reduce inequality? Evidence from high-income OECD countries
IMF Conditionality on Corruption: The Politics of Good Governance
We offer a systematic analysis of IMF loan conditionality on corruption and argue that the Fund's pursuit of anti‐corruption measures is tempered by two political costs. First, because corruption is politically sensitive, the IMF risks destabilizing recipient governments and provoking crises. Second, these domestic risks translate into institutional costs: imposing such measures in strategically important countries (e.g., US allies or temporary U…
Neurocognitive and neuropsychiatric evaluation of individuals living with HIV compared to HIV uninfected individuals
This study aimed to compare the neurocognitive function and neuropsychiatric symptoms of individuals living with HIV and HIV-negative controls, and to evaluate their associations with clinical markers of disease activity. The study included 111 HIV-positive individuals followed at Ankara City Hospital and 54 HIV-negative controls matched for age, sex, and educational level. All participants were assessed using the Montreal Cognitive Assessment (M…

Private Participation: How Populists Engage with International Organizations
The populist backlash against international organizations (IOs) is well known, but to what extent do populists engage with IOs, and what form does this engagement take? We theoretically draw a distinction between public versus private forms of interactions with IOs. We hypothesize that more concealed types of engagement appeal to populists because they allow populists to use the benefits IOs offer, while avoiding the domestic costs associated wit…
Taxation and economic growth: A historical and agnostic review
This article provides an agnostic, historical review of taxation and economic growth. It critically evaluates how the relationship between the two has evolved throughout modern history. After an introduction that provides a general overview of the relationship between taxation and growth, the article first discusses the positive role of taxes in promoting economic development in the pre-war and post-war periods of the 1940s. It then critically co…
Sovereignty Intrusion: Populism and Attitudes toward the International Monetary Fund
The global populist backlash is considered threatening to the multilateral order, but its impact on individual attitudes toward international organizations, like the International Monetary Fund (IMF), is understudied. We bridge insights from research on the IMF and populism to develop a theoretical framework centered on three propositions. We argue that populist individuals should be more prone to blame the IMF for economic problems than non-popu…
When Do Established Powers Support Rising Powers’ Multilateral Institutions? The Case of the Asian Development Bank
What are the institutional features that incentivize established powers to join rising powers’ new institutions? Going beyond alliance versus rivalry, this paper develops a novel theory in answering this question. We argue that the established power must address two primary design issues: 1. how to navigate the control and burden-sharing trade-off and 2. how to limit the potential diffusion of power by rendering the new institution “complementary…

The Federal Reserve’s move to an explicit inflation target: Incremental policy shifts in techno-political institutions
This paper analyzes the US Federal Reserve (Fed)’s landmark 2012 decision to adopt an explicit inflation target for the first time in its history. The paper focuses on explaining the dynamics of this policy shift. The relevant literatures authoritatively establish types of incremental change and the transformative nature of this kind of change. Using the case of the Fed’s policy shift, this paper advances a framework for explaining when the likel…
Asian Infrastructure Investment Bank as an instrument for Chinese influence? Supplementary versus remedial multilateralism
Which Countries Send More Delegates to Climate Change Conferences? Analysis of UNFCCC COPs, 1995–2015
The size of national delegations at the most critical intergovernmental climate change conferences—the annual gatherings of the Conference of the Parties (COPs) of the United Nations Framework Convention on Climate Change—vary greatly. The literature has emphasized the importance of national delegation size (NDS) for states’ formal and informal participation in climate change negotiations. To our knowledge, however, this is the first paper to com…
How large are fiscal multipliers in Turkey
Using the augmented version of the Blanchard-Perotti’s SVAR model, this article seeks to estimate the size of fiscal multipliers in Turkey for the period 2002:q3–2016:q2. Unlike many previous papers that use aggregate data in estimating the size of the fiscal multiplier, we use disaggregated data on taxes and government spending for the same purposes. Our empirical findings indicate that the size of the short-run fiscal multipliers for taxes much…
How did the Washington consensus move within the IMF? Fragmented change from the 1980s to the aftermath of the 2008 crisis
While the Washington Consensus is one of the most (in)famous economic policy paradigms of recent times, the literature on it still lacks a detailed, diachronic analysis of how it evolved within one of its most important disseminators, the International Monetary Fund (IMF). Such an analysis is important not just for gaining a better empirical sense of the Consensus, but also for illuminating a key question of interest in the study of international…
Taxes and private consumption expenditures: A component-based analysis for Turkey
This paper empirically analyzes the effects of tax shocks on private consumption expenditures in Turkey. For this purpose, private consumption expenditures are firstly decomposed into four major categories and then to which structural VAR (SVAR) model is employed using a data set for the period 2003:Q1–2013:Q3. The empirical findings of the paper show that both in the short and long run, private consumption expenditures are affected by value-adde…

The EU’s China problem: A battle over norms
What were they thinking? The Federal Reserve in the run-up to the 2008 financial crisis
The Federal Reserve (the Fed) is responsible for monitoring, analyzing and ultimately stabilizing US financial markets. It also has unrivalled access to economic data, high-level connections to financial institutions, and a large staff of professionally trained economists. Why then was it apparently unconcerned by the financial developments that are now widely recognized to have caused the 2008 financial crisis? Using a wide range of Fed document…

Why Global Inequality Matters: Derivative Global Egalitarianism
This article integrates empirical and normative discussions about why global economic inequalities matter in critically examining an approach known as derivative global egalitarianism (DGE). DGE is a burgeoning perspective that opposes excessive global economic inequality not based on the intrinsic value of equality but inequality's negative repercussions on other values. The article aims to advance the research agenda by identifying and critical…
