    A practitioner’s guide to handling irregularities resulting from the 2014 revisions of the Turkish Household Labor Force Survey
    (Boğaziçi Üniversitesi İktisadi ve İdari Bilimler Fakültesi, 2021) Poyraz, Meltem; Department of Economics; Demirci, Murat; Faculty Member; Department of Economics; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; 272082
    We document the implications of the 2014 revisions to the Turkish Household Labor Force Survey and offer guidance on how to handle the irregularities in population and unemployment statistics that resulted from two particular revisions. First, new population projections were adopted to assign survey weights. Second, a narrower definition of unemployment was adopted. We propose methods to adjust the survey weights for the pre-2014 period in order to discern changes in population statistics by age groups and regions without interruption over time and to calculate the unemployment rates according to both broader and narrower definitions since 2004. / Bu çalışmada TÜİK Hanehalkı İşgücü Anketi’ninde 2014 yılında yapılan düzenlemelerden kaynaklanan bazı sonuçları bulguluyor, nüfus ve işsizlik istatistiklerinde yapılan revizyonların özellikle ikisinden kaynaklanan sorunların nasıl ele alınması gerektiği hakkında yol gösteriyoruz. İlk revizyon, anket ağırlıklarının dayandırıldığı yeni nüfus projeksiyonlarının kabul edilmesidir. İkincisi ise, dar tanımlı bir işsizlik tanımına geçilmesidir. Bu çalışmada 2014 öncesindeki anket ağırlıklarını nüfus istatistiklerinde yaş bazında ve bölgesel olarak kopma olmayacak şekilde yeniden ayarlamak ve işsizlik oranlarını geniş ve dar tanımlı olarak 2004 yılından itibaren hesaplamak için yöntemler öneriyoruz.

    Exploring the concept and measurement of general risk aversion
    (Assoc Consumer Research, 2005) Bao, Yeqing; Department of Economics; Mandrik, Carter; Faculty Member; Department of Economics; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; N/A
    In this paper we explore the concept and measurement of a general-as opposed to domain-specific-risk aversion construct. We review the literature on risk aversion and perceived risk, focusing on issues of concept meaning and measurement, and discuss problems with current measures of risk aversion for research application. An exploratory empirical investigation is reported in which we (1), develop a scale to measure general risk aversion and (2), explore its relationships with intentions to engage in various behaviors vis a vis other similar measures used in the past. The paper concludes with a discussion of the implications of our findings and suggestions for future research.
