    Impact of global recession on selected OECD countries: A panel data analysis
    (International Strategic Management Association, 2013) Erdogan, Engin; Ener, Meliha; Arica, Feyza; Guven, Murat
    The tax burden on wages, profits, property, and goods or services has a serious impact on cross-country competiveness, something that, in turn, impinges strongly on the actual economy of common markets such as the European Union (EU). While the mobility of productive factors is directly related with country tax-regime differences, government budget funding from tax revenues and rates are the main fiscal policy tools. This article analyzes the trends, similarities and differences between the tax regimes of European Monetary Union (EMU) for the period from 1995 to 2019. The methodologies we employ include time series analysis, regression analysis and multivariate cluster analysis. The data are mainly collected from the OECD database and tax revenue departments at country level. We argue that there are significant differences among the tax regimes of EU countries and that no policy has been implemented to ensure tax homogeneity across the EU, nor is there any likelihood of such. The anarchy in fiscal policy is an obstacle for the European Integration. Budget deficits have an impact on taxation and countries, invariably, manage the recent debt crisis by selecting different taxes as fiscal policy tools. Our article presents the differences between tax regimes of EMU countries and shows that the level of economic growth affects the structure of taxes at work and alters the performance of different types of taxes; is also wishes to explain the factors that differentiate tax regimes by using multi dimensional criteria and variance analysis. Our work contributes to the debate toward a common tax regime between EU countries and our analysis is concentrated on this.

    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2012) Erdogan, Engin; Atakli, Ruya
    The investments have very great importance in terms of increasing of countries GDP. Foreign investment, investible resources can be defined as moving to another country by persons and organizations. Foreign direct investments (FDI) outside of the portfolio investments, foreign investors, either alone or in partnership with local investors realized investments. Countries are trying to attract foreign investments by exemptions and incentives to foreign companies, as well as various tax exemptions and market priorities, infrastructure services, and even giving monopoly rights. Especially foreign investments can provide in overcoming crises to countries. The crisis that emerged in USA since last quarter of 2008 spread to Europe and developing countries. Turkey has also been influenced by this crisis as much as other developing countries. Despite intensive government interventions, a great number of countries could not hinder them from decreasing growth rate and increasing unemployment. Countries launched incentive package in order to alleviate impact of crisis and get rid of ravage effect of crisis. Investment incentives were very critical and deterministic during the crisis period. Turkey had launched comprehensive investment incentive system in 2009 by considering these progresses in other countries. In this paper, investment incentive system implemented in Turkey is analyzed during the global crisis and effect of this system on foreign investment decisions.

    Recovering From the Global Crisis: A Panel Study
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2011) Erdogan, Engin; Ener, Meliha; Arica, Feyza
    The current global crisis that originated in the USA in the middle of 2008 financial market was spread very quickly across the globe in almost all sectors, which caused most countries' economy to shrink. The crisis raised the uncertainty in world economy and caused unsteadiness firstly at financial markets and later at real markets. The recession that started firstly in developed countries has affected the developing countries in critical levels as well. While the global developments were regressing, the countries were in consensus to take precautions in order to struggle with the crisis in the world economy. The financial and economic crises have induced negative implications on investment channel, since investors cut down on their investments in developing countries hence triggering job losses. In this study, we investigate the relationship between investment rates and real per capita GDP using two-way panel estimation technique as this has significant implications for development policy. Our sample covers 35 upper-middle income economies classified by the World Bank and the period analyzed extends from 1970 to 2007.

    The Strategic Role of Infant Mortality in the Process of Economic Growth: An Application for High Income OECD Countries
    (Elsevier Science Bv, 2013) Erdogan, Engin; Ener, Meliha; Arica, Feyza
    Health is one of the necessary elements in order to socially develop a society. Providing quality and affordable healthcare is one of the most important challenges facing many nations. Developing and pervading the health services accelerate socio-economic development. Thus, there has been a strong relation between the level of social welfare and health measure. Because development is not only the rate of per capita income, but also includes basis social indicators such as infant mortality rate, life expectancy, health expenditure, and education. Using panel data analysis techniques, this study investigates empirically the relationship between economic growth and infant mortality that is one of the basis variables of health sector over the period 1970-2007 for a sample of 25 high income OECD countries. Our empirical evidence reveals that there is a significant and negative relationship between infant mortality rate and real per capita GDP in selected countries. So, it is concluded that the infant mortality rate of the countries decreased as countries became rich and powerful and new levels of strategic thinking, which will find innovative solutions, have an important role in decreasing infant mortality rate and growing economic power of the countries.
