CORRELATION AND PATH COEFFICIENT ANALYSIS FOR SOME EAR YIELD RELATED TRAITS IN POPCORN (ZEA MAYS VAR. EVERTA)

The aim of this study is firstly to determine the suitable observations in popcorn breeding researches. And secondly aim is to identify all the possible interaction between grain yield and yield component in popcorn with correlation and path coefficient analysis. The experiments were designed in a randomized block design with 3 replicates. These experiments were conducted in Samsun, Turkey in 2014 and 2015. The results unveiled a significant and positive correlation between grain yield and the all component. The greatest positive effect on grain yield are yield per ear, grain yield per ear and grain moisture according to the path analysis, respectively. The presented results have demonstrated the potential of privileged of observation yield per ear, grain yield per ear and grain moisture thus increasing yield in popcorn

AN ECONOMETRIC ANALYSIS OF RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN REAL WAGES AND EMPLOYMENT

The relationship between real wages and employment has long been the controversial issue in economic theory. In this respect this study investigates the existence and the direction of a long-run relationship between real wages and employment level. For this purpose, cointegration and causality tests are applied to quarterly data from 1988:1 to 2008:4 of Turkish private manufacturing industry. The results indicate the existence of a long-run relationship between real wages and employment level. When the direction of this relationship is analyzed, obtained results support the view of Neo-classical economists. According to this, a reduction in real wages will increase the employment level.Employment, Real wages, Zivot Andrews Test, Cointegration, Causality.
