Heterogeneous impact of innovation on economic development: Evidence from EU regions
This paper investigates the heterogeneous impact of innovation on economic development across European Union (EU) regions, with a focus on regional competitiveness driven by innovation-based capabilities. While innovation is a key driver of economic growth, its effects are not uniformly distributed. Using the Multiscale Geographically Weighted Regression models, the study examines how different dimensions of innovation (technological readiness, b…
Institutional Quality and Geography of Discontent in the EU
There has been a significant rise in anti‐establishment votes in the European Union (EU). The decline in socio‐economic outcomes and migration played an important role in understanding the rising discontent. However, none of the existing studies analysed the effect of socio‐economic factors in different institutional settings. Our findings confirm that institutional quality is of paramount importance in explaining the recent rise in populism in t…

Effects of Vaccination and the Spatio‐Temporal Diffusion of Covid‐19 Incidence in Turkey
This study assesses the spatio‐temporal impact of vaccination efforts on Covid‐19 incidence growth in Turkey. Incorporating geographical features of SARS‐CoV‐2 transmission, we adopt a spatial Susceptible–Infected–Recovered (SIR) model that serves as a guide of our empirical specification. Using provincial weekly panel data, we estimate a dynamic spatial autoregressive (SAR) model to elucidate the short‐ and the long‐run impact of vaccination on …
Political climate and regional well-being in Turkey
Politicians can use social and economic policies on clientelist grounds neglecting the efficiency and equity concerns of public policy. While incumbents might reward and punish voters based on party-specific fundamentals, the role of political ideologies and fragmentation is mostly neglected. For societies such as Turkey, where the ideological stance is mixed and the level of fragmentation is varying, the regional political climate has implicatio…
Economic geography and human capital accumulation in Turkey: Evidence from micro-data
This study examines the impact of market access on human capital accumulation in Turkey. Using individual-level data, the analysis explores the background of human capital accumulation, combining market accessibility, wages and human capital development. Upon the treatment of wages as an endogenous covariate of interest and overtime work as an exogenous source of variation, we find evidence that the impact of market access on human capital develo…

State–Business Relations, Financial Access and Firm Performance: A Causal Mediation Analysis
This study investigates the triangular relationship among state–business relations, financial access and economic performance in the Middle East and North Africa. We hypothesize that financial intermediation is a significant mediating factor in the relationship between state–business relations and firm performance. Employing a causal mediation analysis, results show that inefficient ties with the state are a cause of poor firm performance. Ineffi…
Electoral outcomes, power outages and firm performance
Even though a wide range of the literature explores how governments target public goods strategically, only a handful of papers examine whether these electorally motivated distributive patterns have consequences for the real economy. With the use of Turkish electoral and firm-level data, this paper examines whether electoral factors affect the variation in power outages experienced by firms across Turkish regions. The findings demonstrate that sa…
Winners and losers of rapid growth in Turkey: Analysis of the spatial variability of convergence
Self-rated health and endogenous selection into primary care
The Economic Costs of Separatist Terrorism in Turkey
Turkey has been suffering from separatist terrorism and the political conflict it implies since the mid-1980s, both of which are believed to have a negative impact on economic welfare. This article investigates the economic costs of Kurdistan Workers’ Party (PKK) terrorism, particularly in the Eastern and Southeastern provinces of Turkey by invoking the synthetic control method. We create a synthetic control group that mimics the socioeconomic ch…
