Variations in Muslim Women’s Mosque Attendance by Individual and Country Characteristics
Women are more religious than men whether measured by religious belief, attendance, or membership, but worship attendance by gender varies across religious groups. While Christian women attend more than Christian men, Muslim women attend less than Muslim men. The worship attendance of Muslim women varies, however, across different contexts, but the reasons for this variation are yet to be understood. Using data from the 7th wave of the World Valu…
Can the State Make you More Religious? Evidence from Turkish Experience
This paper first evaluates the impact of a two-decade-long Islamization policy carried out by a pro-Islamist party, which came to power in 2002 in Turkey, on the attitudes of Turkish people toward religious values, religious practices, and clergy.

The impact of regional institutional quality on firm innovation
The main aim of this study is to empirically examine the role of regional institutional quality, and compare the relative importance of three different institutional arrangements, namely regulatory quality, rule of law, and corruption, on propensity of firm innovation in African countries. To this end, we used the most recent World Bank Enterprise Survey (WBES) of firms from 19 African countries. Our empirical investigation using multilevel logis…

While the impact of government interference to the religious domain has long been discussed in previous literature, empirical evidence on the nexus between government intervention to religion and individuals’ giving to religious organizations remains limited. In this study, we aim to fill this gap and examine whether government intervention affects individuals’ giving to faith-based charities. To this end, a survey data conducted in 20 European c…

Limits to Alternative Forms of Capitalization
New Fragmentations and New Cooperations in the Turkish Bourgeoisie
The establishment of a new business association constitutes both a fragmentation and a cooperation among capitalists. The author aims to determine the causes of the fragmentation and the cooperation by discussing the background of new business associations being established in Turkey: it is concluded that conflicting interests of capitalists are a major source of those two phenomena. It is also found that both heterogeneity and homogeneity within…
