Article Turkey on the Fault Line: The Impact of the Earthquake on the Labor Market(Wiley, 2025) Demirkilic, Serkan; Ozbay Das, Zuhal; Aydin, GuneyWe assess the impact of the 2011 earthquakes of eastern Turkey on the labor market and the potential resilience strategy by exploring heterogeneity among subgroups. Our findings indicate a rise in low-skilled employment and an increase in the wage rates for low-skilled women following the earthquake. The instant response to earthquakes varies according to the residents' education level. The manufacturing sector was significant in enhancing the workers' resilience. The results further reveal that the return to the family business may have helped to mitigate the negative economic conditions created by the earthquakes.Article Citation - WoS: 6Citation - Scopus: 5Determinants of Fertility Rates in Turkey(Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2020) Ozbay Das, ZuhalIn this study, the fertility changes are examined through the combining political and economic aspects of Turkey. For this purpose, it examines if a long-run relationship between economic and institutional variables and fertility rates of Turkey exists. The long-run relations between income, democracy, polarization, government spending, and fertility rates will thus be analyzed through the Autoregressive Distribute Lag (ARDL) cointegration technique. The results reveal that per capita income, government expenditure, and democracy are one of the key determinants of fertility. Per capita income and government expenditure are negatively associated with fertility, but democracy is positively associated with fertility. The results further showed that the fertility decline is robust after the implementation of compulsory education policy in 1997. The study enlightens the long run effect of government on fertility behavior either through policy implementation or government expenditure, but the association between fertility and institutions in Turkey is rather vague.
