Education and domestic violence: Evidence from a natural experiment in Turkey

“…Their finding of no effect of the CER on male schooling contrasts with the well-established result in the literature that the reform has had a significant and positive effect on Turkish males (see Akyol & Kırdar, 2021;Aydemir & Kırdar, 2017;Aydemir et al, 2019;Baltagi et al, 2019;Dursun & Cesur, 2016;Dursun et al, 2018;Kırdar et al, 2010Kırdar et al, , 2012Kırdar et al, , 2016Kırdar et al, , 2018Torun, 2018).…”

“…They argue that this is because the CER had no impact on the men's education as most men were completing the junior high school (JHS) already before the reform. Their finding of no effect of the CER on male schooling contrasts with the well‐established result in the literature that the reform has had a significant and positive effect on Turkish males (see Akyol & Kırdar, 2021; Aydemir & Kırdar, 2017; Aydemir et al, 2019; Baltagi et al, 2019; Cesur & Mocan, 2018; Dursun & Cesur, 2016; Dursun et al, 2018; Kırdar et al, 2010, 2012, 2016, 2018; Torun, 2018).…”

The Topography and Sources of Multidimensional Poverty in Turkey

“…As the post-2000s implementations are relatively new, reflections on educational outcomes have not been discussed yet. On the other hand, evidence shows that a longer period of mandatory schooling has a positive influence on health outcomes (Baltagi et al 2019) and gender disparities (Kırdar et al 2018) in the pre-2000. Habibi (2017) investigates the rising higher education capacity in Turkey and underlines the negative consequences stemming from over-education, which translates into a mismatch and unemployment in the labor market.…”

Maternal Education and Early Child Development: The Roles of Parental Support for Learning, Learning Materials, and Father Characteristics

“…13 Several papers have previously analyzed the relationship between mothers' education and children's health outcomes over the life cycle, but the evidence for a causal effect is mixed (Desai and Alva, 1998;Chen and Li, 2009;Arendt et al, 2021). A similar picture emerges from studies focusing on the Turkish context; they find mixed results about the effect of maternal education on child health using the 1997 compulsory schooling reform (Güneş, 2015;Baltagi et al, 2019).…”
