Finansal Gelisme ve Ekonomik Buyume Iliskisi: Turkiye Ekonomisi Uzerine Ekonometrik Bir Uygulama

In the relationship between financial development and economic growth, supply-leading and demand-following hypothesis have great importance. According to supply-leading hypothesis, financial development leads to economic growth, however demand following hypothesis asserts that the direction of the relationship runs from economic growth to financial development. In this study, financial development and economic growth relationship is examined for Turkey over the period of 1970-2004. Granger causality test results show that financial development leads to economic growth and support the supply-leading hypothesis for Turkey.Financial Development, Financial Repression, Economic Growth, Time Series, Unit Root, Granger Causality Test, Turkish Economy

Yuksek Enflasyon Enflasyon Belirsizligini Artiriyor mu?

In this study, the relation between inflation and inflation uncertainty was examined for the period of 1987:1-2005:6 monthly for the Turkish economy. EGARCH was utilized to get inflation uncertainty. Although there is a bi-directional causality relation between the variables according to Hsiao and Granger approaches, the sign of causality running from inflation uncertainty to inflation as to Granger causality test is not significant. VAR analysis shows that there exist a uni-directional causality relation running from inflation to inflation uncertainty. Shortly, inflation has a strong effect on inflation uncertainty. Achieved empirical results from Granger causality test and VAR analyses support the Friedman-Ball hypothesis in that period.Inflation, inflation uncertainty, EGARCH, unit root, causality, Granger, VAR.

In that study discussed to apply the processing of over-cover and uncover inflation targeting strategy between the year intervals 2001-2006 in Turkey and targeting simultaneously; in the situation of inflation rates, potential production level and exchange rate occur a deviation, how the short run interest rates follow a way that is tried to determine. For determining of inflation rates, also one of the most known ways is Taylor Rule. The processing of Taylor Rule analyzed by helping of Bounds Test, which is a new method comparatively, includes Turkey and understood the result that the mentioning variations, which forms Taylor Rule, effect on the short run interest clearly.Taylor Rule,Short Run Interest Rate,Bounds Test,Inflation Targeting,Output Gap,Nominal Exchange Rate,Central Bank,Model of UECM.

Dogrusal Olmayan Kanonik Korelasyon Analizi Ile Istatistige Yonelik Tutumlarda Universite Ogrencileri Arasindaki Bireysel Farkliliklarin Incelenmesi

The aim of this study is to investigate the relation between the demographic features and the attitude devoted to the statistics lesson of the students in departments of business administration, economics and public finance that will be able to effective on the socio- economic structure of our country in the future. By the purpose of measuring the attitude devoted to the statistics, Survey of Attitudes Towards Statistics and a demographic knowledge form prepared by the researchers are used in the stage of data collection. The Nonlinear Canonic Correlation Analyze is used for put forward the relation between the accomplishment note in the Statistics lesson, repetition number, repetition reason and the attitude devoted to the statistics lesson of the university students. In the conclusion of the analysis it was found that the variables of accomplishment note in the Statistics lesson, repetition number and repetition reason are perform on the attitudes of students toward the Statistics lesson.Attitude toward Statistics, Scale of Attitudes Toward Statistics (SATT), Nonlinear Canonic Correlation Analyze

Estimating the burden of disease attributable to high cholesterol in South Africa in 2000

Objectives. To estimate the burden of disease attributable to high cholesterol in adults aged 30 years and older in South Africa in 2000. Design. World Health Organization comparative risk assessment (CRA) methodology was followed. Small community studies were used to derive the prevalence by population group. Population-attributable fractions were calculated and applied to revised burden of disease estimates for the relevant disease categories for each population group. The total attributable burden for South Africa in 2000 was obtained by adding the burden attributed to high cholesterol for the four population groups. Monte Carlo simulation-modelling techniques were used for uncertainty analysis. Setting. South Africa. Subjects. Black African, coloured, white and Indian adults aged 30 years and older. Outcome measures. Mortality and disability-adjusted life years (DALYs) from ischaemic heart disease (IHD) and ischaemic stroke. Results. Overall, about 59% of IHD and 29% of ischaemic stroke burden in adult males and females (30+ years) were attributable to high cholesterol (≥ 3.8 mmol/l), with marked variation by population group. High cholesterol was estimated to have caused 24 144 deaths (95% uncertainty interval 22 404 - 25 286) or 4.6% (95% uncertainty interval 4.3 - 4.9%) of all deaths in South Africa in 2000. Since most cholesterol-related cardiovascular disease events occurred in middle or old age, the loss of life years comprised a smaller proportion of the total: 222 923 DALYs (95% uncertainty interval 206 712 - 233 460) or 1.4% of all DALYs (95% uncertainty interval 1.3 - 1.4%) in South Africa in 2000. Conclusions. High cholesterol is an important cardiovascular risk factor in all population groups in South Africa. South African Medical Journal Vol. 97 (8) Part 2 2007: pp. 708-71
