    Time series evidence on the saving-investment relationship
    (Routledge, 1996) Barkoulas, J; Murphy, R; Department of Economics; Filiztekin, Alpay; Faculty Member; Department of Economics; College of Administrative Sciences and Economics; 4010
    The long-run saving-investment correlation for the 24 OECD countries is re-examined using the Johansen procedure. It is found that saving and investment rates are not correlated in the long run for the majority of OECD countries. In the countries where cointegration is found, the Gonzalo-Granger common factor analysis suggests that saving is the driving force of the cointegrated system.

    Competitiveness of Turkish SMSEs in the customs union
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 1997) Erzan, Refik; N/A; Filiztekin, Alpay; Faculty Member; N/A; N/A
    As a basis for adjustment policies in Turkey, it is assumed that the impact of the Customs Union will be more severe on small- and medium-scale enterprises (SMSEs) in comparison with large establishments. The paper first studies growth in value added and productivity in Turkish manufacturing with respect to industry and size; then scrutinizes the hypothesis above by analyzing the vulnerability of firms depending on their sizes. The effects of the Customs Union on economic environment manifest themselves in terms of the level of protection, import penetration, the wage level, exchange rates and exchange rate volatility; and, changes in domestic and foreign demand, and credit availability. The paper analyzes the impact of these changes on firms' performances. Panel data techniques are used in the estimations. (C) 1997 Elsevier Science B.V.
