The main purpose of this paper is to examine the effect of foreign portfolio investments on economic growth in Turkish economy. For this purpose, using data from the period of 1986-2019, the effects of net foreign portfolio and fixed capital investments and net exports on economic growth are analyzed econometrically by employing unit root and multiple breakpoint tests, multivariate cointegration analysis and vector error correction model. According to the results, economic growth is positively affected by net foreign portfolio and fixed capital investments and net exports in the short run and in the long run. However, the estimation results show that the positive effect of foreign portfolio investments on economic growth is much lower low compared to other variables. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this paper is to investigate the effects of exchange rates on debtand equity-based foreign capital inflows in Turkey. For this purpose, long run coefficient values were estimated with Dynamic Ordinary Least Squares (DOLS) method using the monthly data of 1991:12-2019:10 period. According to the model estimation results, variables move together in the long run. However, the effect of exchange rate on debt-based foreign capital inflows is positive and the effect on equity-based foreign capital inflows is negative. These findings point out that in Turkey external debt burden is high, and the firms are orientation intensively outsourcing use. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

The purpose of this paper is to empirically investigate the impact of trade openness and financial development on foreign direct investment in OECD countries over the period 1996-2011. By using the system-GMM estimator suggested for linear dynamic panel data models, we find that trade openness and financial development are positively associated with foreign direct investment in the long-run. By using Granger causality test based on panel VAR model, we also determine the causal relationship running from these variables to foreign direct investment over the period. Thus, the empirical results imply that trade openness and financial development are the determinants of foreign direct investment in OECD countries. This paper may also provide some policy implications. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]

In this paper, it is tried to investigate the efficiency of the firms in the manufacturing sector that are listed in the İstanbul Stock Exchange and in the İSO500 by using Data Envelopment Analysis (DEA). Examined a total of 29 firms by 2009 and concluded 8 of this firms efficiently in 21 of them ineffective. The study is also tried to determine input-output quantities which proportions need to make improvement that use ineffective firms come up with effective position [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
