Estimating Recreational Value of the Foy's Lake: An Application of Travel Cost Count Data Model for Truncated Zeros
No full textAbstract. To estimate the annual recreational value provided by the Foy’s Lake, using the most applicable model for on-site data, is the main objective of this study. To adhere to the objective of this study, individual travel cost method (ITCM) has been applied and zero truncated poisson regression model has been found plausible among other models to estimate the consumer surplus. Based on the estimate, the consumer surplus or recreational benefits per trip per visitor can be recommended as BDT 5,875 or US 40.2 million.Keywords: Individual Travel Cost Method, Zero Truncated Poisson Regression Model, Endogenous Stratification, Consumer Surplus.JEL.

Does globalization affect female labor force participation: Panel evidence
Get PDFVarious theoretical and empirical dimensions of the subject of globalization have been intensively examined in the literature of social science, particularly since 1990s. Besides those existing studies in the literature, we empirically investigate the effect of globalization on the woman’s participation to labor force for four distinct globalization indicators (i.e., economic globalization, social globalization, politic globalization, and overall globalization index). An unbalanced data containing the years of 1990-2014 for 101 countries in the largest sense has been utilized in the analyses. Estimation results imply that there is a positive statistically significant relationship between economic globalization, social globalization, overall globalization and female labor force participation. On the other hand we found a negative statistically significant association between politic globalization and female labor force participation. Meantime it was seen that all of the covariates used in the analyses took the expected signs and were statistically significant in almost all models.Key Words: Globalization, Female Labor Force Participation, Panel Data.JEL Class.: F66, J82.

32nd International Public Finance Conference
No full textAbstract. The 32nd Public Finance Symposium was held in Antalya/TURKEY on May 10-14. This congress brings together scientists from Turkey and the finance world from various countries of the world. The purpose of the Congress is to examine the new developments in the field of public finance science, discussing national and international financial problems and presenting solution proposals, production of qualified works in the field of public finance. The topics of the papers presented in the conference were involved various areas of the public finance and economy. Papers written in Turkish and English were presented. Papers were presented as parallel sessions. Also, at the symposium, a "Young Public Financier Session" was organized to develop the skills of presenting young economists in Turkey, to discuss the thesis, article or project work they have done, to evaluate the proposals, and to establish a ground for cooperation and information sharing among them. This session has encouraged the works of young public financiers. After the works submitted in full text passed through the arbitration process, alternative broadcasting facilities were offered to the symposium participants. Symposium is therefore a very important congress in a lot of ways.Keywords. Public economics, Fiscal economics, Tax law.JEL. H00, E62, K34
The Importance of Knowledge Assets on University-Industry Collaboration: A Preliminary Analysis
No full textAbstract. Intellectual capital is an important base for inter-organizational collaborative activities, including the industry-academic collaboration studied here. A preliminary study was conducted with analytic hierarchy process method, trying to know the dimensionalized associations between intellectual capital (i.e., Human, Structural, Customers, Organizational, Process, knowledge, and innovation capitals) and industry-academic collaboration (i.e., academic engagement and commercialization). Analyzing expert opinions, we gained matrices and priority scores, indicating that different forms of intellectual capital have different influences on academic engagement versus commercialization. The results remind scholarly works to look into detailed and differentiated mechanisms that utilize intellectual capital for governing industry-academic collaboration.Keywords. Intellectual capital, Industry-academic collaboration, Analytic hierarchy process; Taiwan.JEL. M10; L33; L52
Religious, Ethnic, Linguistic and Cultural Diversity and Female Labor Force Participation
No full textAbstract. There are numerous macro and micro level determinants of female labor force participation (FLFP) counted in the literature. Besides the other explanatory factors of FLFP, diversification in religion, ethnicity, language and culture in a society may also play an important role in the explanation of FLFP. Therefore this study empirically examines the impact of religion, ethnic, linguistic, and cultural diversity on FLFP by using a cross-section data of 109 countries. We hypothesize that societies with higher level of religion, ethnic, linguistic, and cultural diversity experience higher level of FLFP via interaction across distinct religions, ethnicities, languages, and cultures. Our empirical results endorse our hypothesis for religion, ethnicity, and language except culture. This finding reveals that diversification in religion, ethnicity, and language in a country significantly and positively affects the FLFP level in that country.Keywords.

Economic Growth and the Growth of Human Population in the Past 2,000,000 Years
No full textAbstract. Growth of human population in the past 2,000,000 years is analysed. It is shown that the growth was in three major stages: (1) 2,000,000 to 27,000 BC, (2)27,000 BC to AD 510 and (3) AD 510 to present. Each stage is described by hyperbolic distribution followed by a significantly shorter, non-hyperbolic transition to a new stage. Data show also a minor disturbance in the third hyperbolic stage. Each hyperbolic stage was prompted by a single force, the biologically-controlled force of procreation expressed as the difference between the biologically-controlled force of sex drive and the biologically-controlled process of aging and dying. The fundamental parameter describing hyperbolic growth is given by the ratio of the force of growth and of the resistance to growth. It is assumed that during transitions, this fundamental force remained the same but the resistance to growth was changing. All these three stages, and the minor disturbance in the middle of the third stage, are now described mathematically and explained. The derived parameters are used to calculate the size of the world population in the past 2,000,000 years and to fill in the gaps between data. These parameters can be used to calculate the growth rate at any time in the past 2,000,000 years. Analysis of population data and the earlier analysis of the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) per capita allow also for the evaluation of the economic growth in the past 2,000,000 years. The size of the population and the GDP values are tabulated.Keywords. Growth of human population, Economic growth, Hyperbolic growth, Mechanism of hyperbolic growth.JEL. A10, A12, A20,C12,Y80
A Regime Switching Explanation of the Reactions of Market Participant during the Crisis
No full textAbstract. Empirical evidence suggest that markets are too volatile to be efficient, essentially this means the influencing factor in the pricing of assets is the reaction of market participants to the information or events, rather than the actual information. Hence in order to understand the pricing of assets, there is a need to include the behavioural finance theory. An influencing observation during the recent financial and sovereign debt crises as well as the pre-crisis period is that market participants seem to be reacting to the general financial environment. We use the SWARCH model of Cai (1994) to analyse the reaction of market participants in six key sovereign debt markets (i.e. US, German, Greek, Italian, Spanish and Portuguese) in a fast changing and highly volatile environment. In general, the evidence seems to be pointing at a change in the reaction of the market participants reflecting the underlying fast changing and highly volatile environment.Keywords.
