    The Effect of 2023 Kahramanmaraş and Hatay Earthquakes on Real Estate Investment Behaviors

    Çubukcu, M. Ihsan; Çubukcu, Fatmanur; Doker, Asli Cansin; Gülhan, Unal; Gülhan, Yeliz

    Turkiye is located in the earthquake zone due to its geographical location and has witnessed major earthquakes throughout history. These earthquakes caused many deaths and also caused great economic losses. In February 2023, Mw7.7, Mw7.6, Aand Mw6.4 earthquakes occurred centered in Kahramanmara & scedil; and Hatay, respectively. More than 50 thousand people lost their lives and more than 100 thousand people were injured in these earthquakes. The earthquake caused great destruction in 11 provinces (Adana, Ad & imath;yaman, Diyarbak & imath;r, Elaz & imath;& gbreve;, Gaziantep, Hatay, Kahramanmara & scedil;, Kilis, Malatya, Osmaniye and & Scedil;anl & imath;urfa). The study aims to identify differences in investment behavior in the real estate sector after the earthquake. For this purpose, a survey was conducted throughout T & uuml;rkiye. According to the empirical findings of the study, significant differences were detected between real estate investment behaviors before and after the earthquake. It was observed that the participants took into account factors such as whether the building was built in accordance with earthquake regulations rather than factors such as location, interior and exterior design, and price, when making investments after the earthquake. It was also determined that the participants preferred detached or low-rise buildings instead of multi-storey buildings after the earthquake.

    Economic Policy Uncertainty and Tourism in Croatia: A Wavelet Analysis

    Demir, Ender; Bilgin, Mehmet Huseyin; Karabulut, Gokhan; Doker, Asli Cansin

    By using wavelet analysis, we find that domestic Economic Policy Uncertainty (EPU) has short and long-term adverse effects on domestic tourism in Croatia. Domestic and global EPU (GEPU) have a negative relationship with foreign arrivals; however, the impact of domestic EPU on foreign arrivals is significantly bigger. The co-movements between nights of stay per domestic tourists and domestic EPU are positive in the short and the long run, while the relationship with GEPU is negative. Our findings for the foreign arrivals per tourist is the opposite of those for the domestic. There is a positive relationship between foreign arrivals per tourist and GEPU.

    Democracy and COVID-19 outcomes

    Karabulut, Gokhan; Zimmermann, Klaus F.; Bilgin, Mehmet Huseyin; Doker, Asli Cansin

    More democratic countries are often expected to fail at providing a fast, strong, and effective response when facing a crisis such as COVID-19. This could result in higher infections and more negative health effects, but hard evidence to prove this claim is missing for the new disease. Studying the association with five different democracy measures, this study shows that while the infection rates of the disease do indeed appear to be higher for more democratic countries so far, their observed case fatality rates are lower. There is also a negative association between case fatality rates and government attempts to censor media. However, such censorship relates positively to the infection rate.

    Inter-country distancing, globalisation and the coronavirus pandemic

    Zimmermann, Klaus F.; Karabulut, Gokhan; Bilgin, Mehmet Huseyin; Doker, Asli Cansin

    Originating in China, the coronavirus has reached the world at different speeds and levels of strength. This paper provides an initial understanding of some driving factors and their consequences. Since transmission requires people, the human factor behind globalisation is essential. Globalisation, a major force behind global well-being and equality, is highly associated with this factor. The analysis investigates the impact globalisation has on the speed of initial transmission to a country and on the scale of initial infections in the context of other driving factors. Our cross-country analysis finds that measures of globalisation are positively related to the spread of the virus, both in speed and in scale. However, the study also finds that globalised countries are better equipped to keep fatality rates low. The conclusion is not to reduce globalisation to avoid pandemics, but to better monitor the human factor at the outbreak and mobilise collaboration forces to curtail diseases.

    The relationship between commodity prices and world trade uncertainty

    Karabulut, Gokhan; Bilgin, Mehmet Huseyin; Doker, Asli Cansin

    This paper investigates the relationship between commodity prices and world trade uncertainty for the period of 1996Q1–2019Q3. World Trade Uncertainty Index (WTU), developed by Ahir et. al. (2018), and Commodity Price Index for the United States of America (USA) have been used in the analyses. For analyzing this relationship Continuous Wavelet Transform (CWT), Wavelet Coherency (WTC), and Wavelet Power Spectrum (WPS) techniques have been applied in the paper. Results indicate that there are strong noises for WTU between 2009–2010 and 2015–2016; for CPI between 2008–2009 and 2015–2016 and between 2008–2009 and 2017–2018 with a positively correlated and significant causal prediction.

    The relationship between cryptocurrencies and COVID-19 pandemic

    Demir, Ender; Bilgin, Mehmet Huseyin; Karabulut, Gokhan; Doker, Asli Cansin

    We examine the relationship between cryptocurrencies (namely Bitcoin (BTC), Ethereum (ETH), and Ripple (XRP)) and COVID-19 cases/deaths. This will help explore whether cryptocurrencies can serve as a hedge against COVID-19. The wavelet coherence analysis indicates that there is initially a negative relationship between Bitcoin and the number of reported cases and deaths; however, the relationship becomes positive during the later period. The findings for Ethereum and Ripple are also similar but with weaker interactions. This supports the hedging role of cryptocurrencies against the uncertainty raised by COVID-19.

    Türkiye turizm talebi: bir çekim modeli uygulaması

    Doker, Asli Cansin; Kabadayi, Burhan; Savaş, Nurettin; Yavuz, Selahattin

    Turizm gelirleri son yıllarda kronikleşen cari açığın olumsuz etkilerini azaltmada önemli bir faktördür.Ülkelerin döviz ihtiyaçlarını karşılamada yardımcı bir sektör olan turizm sektörü dünya ülkelerindeolduğu gibi ülkemizde de önemsenmektedir. Bu çalışmada 2008, 2009 ve 2010 yılına ait verilerleTürkiyeye gelen turist sayısını etkileyen faktörler çekim modeli vasıtasıyla ayrı ayrı incelenmiştir.Türkiyeye gelen turist sayısını etkileyen faktörler çekim modelleri taslağı altında şu şekildebelirlenmiştir; gelen turistlerin bulundukları ülkelerin Türkiyeye mesafesi, gelir düzeyleri, nüfuspotansiyeli ve bazı kukla değişkenler. Kukla değişken olarak; gelen turistlerin Türkiye ile kültürel veetnik bağları, kullanılan dil grupları ve politik ve ekonomik entegrasyon grupları dikkate alınmıştır.Veriler Dünya Bankası ve Türkiye İstatistik Kurumu veri tabanlarından temin edilmiş ve çalışmanınuygulama bölümünde yatay kesit regresyon modelleri kullanılmıştır. Çalışmada Küresel Finansal Krizinetkili olduğu 2008 ve sonrası yıllar için de modeller oluşturulup elde edilen katsayıların kriz döneminegöre değişiklik arz edip etmediği incelenmiştir. Genel olarak elde edilen sonuçlara göre ülke mesafelerigelen turist sayılarını olumsuz etkiliyorken, ülke gelirleri olumlu yönde etkilemektedir. Türkiyeninkültürel bağlarının bulunduğu ülkelerden ve üye olduğu birlikteliklerden ülkeye daha fazla ziyaretçigelmektedir.
