“…Importantly, moreover, previous research suggests that tax evasion in other Balkan countries may well be similarly due to this institutional asymmetry grounded in the perceived procedural and redistributive unfairness and injustices of the current system, and thus that the explanations and solutions may well be the same. 103 104 105 In sum, this paper strongly intimates the strong association between participation in undeclared work and tax morale, and the need to shift towards a policy approach that seeks to improve tax morale by creating greater symmetry between formal and informal institutions. Whether similar findings are revealed in other Balkan countries now requires detailed evaluation.…”

Until now, the undeclared economy has been tackled in Balkan countries by increasing the penalties and risk of detection so as to deter participation. Recently however, calls have been made for a new more indirect approach that improves tax morale in order to foster a culture of commitment to compliance. The aim of this paper is to evaluate these contrasting policy approaches. Reporting evidence from 1,018 face-to-face interviews conducted in Bulgaria during 2013, logistic regression analysis reveals no association between participation in undeclared work and the perceived level of penalties and risk of detection, but a strong association between participation in undeclared work and the level of tax morale. The paper concludes by discussing the theoretical and policy implications of the findings.

“…Volatile capital flows, banking sector problems and current account deficit are the important vulnerabilities of the Turkish economy. Turkish economy is dependent on international capital flows that makes the economy more volatile (Cinar and Kose, 2015). There seems a gap for the studies including foreign direct investment, capital flows and current account deficit nexus in applied literature for Turkey.…”

“…Before the financial crises, the capital account balance of Turkey was positive due to capital inflows. The 1994 and 2001 domestic economic crises caused massive capital outflows from Turkey as external crises such as the Asian crisis in 1997-98 and mortgage crisis from the USA had same effects (Cinar and Kose, 2015).…”

The impact of capital flows on macroeconomic variables is widely studied in applied literature. In this context, this paper aims to analyze the impact of short-term capital flows and foreign direct investment on current account deficit for Turkey by using quarterly data for the time period 1998-2015. We find out a positive and significant relationship between capital flows and current account deficit and negative insignificant relationship between capital flows and foreign direct investment. We use vector autoregression (VAR) model and impulse responses to analyze dynamics between variables.

“…When viewed from this perspective, unemployment is a factor that triggers migration, and particularly in developing countries (ILO 2010). Turkey is a developing country (WTO 2016) that faces economic crises from time to time (Cinar and Köse 2015). Unemployment resulting from economic instabilities is also a major problem for Turkey (Filiztekin and Gökhan 2008; Özözen Kahraman et al 2011; Akın and Dökmeci 2015; Tansel et al 2016).…”

Migration is one of the most important issues in Turkey today. Notably, the state forest enterprises are affected by the social, economic, and ecological dimensions of migration; these enterprises find it increasingly difficult to find labor to operate effectively in the forestry activities with each passing day. This study examined population movement over the 1965–2013 period in Kastamonu forest villages to assess how topographical factors affected this movement. Kastamonu is the province in which most of Turkey’s forest products are produced, and 99% of the province’s rural population consists of forest villagers. This study investigated population fluctuations of 883 villages within and 137 villages adjacent to these forests and found a negative linear tendency in these populations. The purpose of this study is to identify a relationship between the decreasing population and the terrain of the forest villages (including aspect, slope, elevation, and distance to the provincial and district centers) using spatial, simple, and partial correlation analyses. The statistical analysis revealed a negative and significant relationship between population decrease and terrain. As a result, without taking the other reasons for migration into account, the tendency of the rural migration was determined to increase as the slope, elevation, and distance to the province centers increased. The basis for a predictive model of forest villagers’ migration might thus be created by this study. Also, the driving force of migration might be revealed through quantitative modeling, and this might help create more rational development plans and programs.
