The Impact of Vision Problems on Households' Incomes: Evidence From the 2019 and 2022 Rounds of the Turkey Health Survey
Vision problems reduce individuals' quality of life, and they also reduce their productivity as workers and consequently decrease their incomes. Most vision problems can be corrected with properly fitted eyeglasses, but many people with vision problems do not have such eyeglasses. There is very little research to date on the impact of vision problems on workers' productivity, and no studies at a national scale. This paper addresses this gap by es…
Public-private sector wage gap by gender in Egypt: Evidence from quantile regression on panel data, 1998–2018
Do Emigrants Self-Select Along Cultural Traits? Evidence from the Mena Countries
This article empirically investigates whether emigrants from MENA (Middle East and North Africa) countries self-select along two cultural traits: religiosity and gender-egalitarian attitudes. Using Gallup World Poll data on individual opinions and beliefs and migration aspirations, we find that individuals who intend to emigrate to high-income countries exhibit significantly lower levels of religiosity than the rest of the population. They also s…
The Effect of Education on Health Behaviors and Obesity in Turkey: Instrumental Variable Estimates from a Developing Country
Wage Inequality and Wage Mobility in Turkey
Birth and employment transitions of women in Turkey: The emergence of role incompatibility
The available evidence on the relationship between fertility and employment among women in developing countries paints an ambiguous picture. In Turkey there have been considerable structural changes since the 1960s, related to the incompatibility between w
Returns to Foreign Language Skills in a Developing Country: The Case of Turkey
This paper analyses the economic value of foreign languages in Turkey using data on some 6000 adult male wage-earners in 2007. We find positive earnings returns to proficiency in English and Russian, which increase with the level of competence. French and German skills are also positively rewarded, although their return seems mostly linked to the likelihood to hold specific occupations. In contrast, knowing Arabic does not generate an earnings pr…
Impact of internal migration on political participation in Turkey
ᅟ The Impact of population mobility on provincial turnout rates in the 2011 Turkish parliamentary election is studied, controlling for the effects of other socio-economic, demographic, political and institutional factors. Consequences of migration both at destinations and origins are considered. According to the robust regressions estimated, the relationship between turnout and education is inverse U-shaped, and between turnout and age (including…
Macroeconomic impact of remittances on output growth: Evidence from Turkey
This study estimates a Keynesian simultaneous, dynamic macro-econometric model to investigate the impact of remittances on key macro variables such as consumption, investment, imports and income in Turkey. The estimated impact and dynamic multipliers indicate that impact of remittances on consumption, imports and income are all positive and reduce gradually while that on investment wears out in the second year. The impact multiplier for income im…
Does private tutoring increase students' academic performance? Evidence from Turkey
Türkiye'de işçi dövizlerinin toplam üretim büyümesine makroekonomik etkisi - Macroeconomic impact of remittances on output growth: Evidence from Turkey
In this study, a Keynesian model studying simultaneously, the impact of immigrant workers’ foreign currency transfers on macro variables such as consumption, investment, imports and income of Turkey is presented. While the calculated impact and dynamic multipliers of immigrant workers’ foreign currency transfers on consumption, imports and income is positive and gradually diminishing, their impact on investment is removed in the second year. With…
Brain Drain from Turkey: Return Intentions of Skilled Migrants
The study estimates an empirical model of return intentions using a dataset compiled from an internet survey of Turkish professionals residing abroad. In the migration literature, wage differentials are often cited as an important factor explaining skilled migration. The findings of our study suggest, however, that non‐pecuniary factors, such as the importance of family and social considerations, are also influential in the return or non‐return d…

Public-Private Employment Choice, Wage Differentials, and Gender in Turkey
The main objective of this article is to examine the factors that explain the employment choice and the wage differentials in public administration, state‐owned enterprises, and the formal private wage sector in Turkey. Selectivity‐corrected wage equations are estimated for each sector for men and women separately. Oaxaca‐Blinder decomposition of the wage differentials between sectors by gender and between men and women by sector are carried out.…

Wage and labor supply effects of illness in Côte d'Ivoire and Ghana: Instrumental variable estimates for days disabled
Sickness should make individuals less productive, but there are problems in measuring this effect. First, how is adult morbidity measured in a household survey? Second, how is the impact or morbidity on productivity inferred, if earning is partly used to improve health? Self-reported functional activity limitation due to illness is considered an indicator of morbidity for wage earners and self employed people. To deal with both the measurement an…
