    An economic analysis of the communication skills in globalised industrial relations: social dialogue and the negotiation process in Turkey
    (Univ Complutense Madrid, 2011-03-01) Soykut Sarıca, Yeşim Pınar; Şen Taşbaşı, Aslı
    The purpose of this paper is to provide an economic analysis of the social dialogue experience in Turkey with an emphasis on the role of communication in industrial relations. We ascertain social dialogue -and the related negotiation process- as a major communication form in industrial relations and attempt to find out whether it serves well to promote consensus building and democratic involvement among the main stakeholders in employment. We particularly question the success of the existing social dialogue structures and processes in Turkey in resolving economic and social issues through communication, advancing social and industrial peace, improving competitiveness through increased productivity and complying international commitments in employment.

    Institution-building on shop-floor employees’ representation with reference to international norms and representative industrial democracy: a first attempt to model dual-channel representation in Turkey
    (Birleşik Metal İş Sendikası, 2022-10-24) Dereli, Toker; Soykut Sarıca, Yeşim Pınar; Şen Taşbaşı, Aslı; Çağlı Kaynak, Elif
    This article explores the feasibility of setting up a shopfloor social dialogue mechanism in Turkey based on the synthesis of EU Directive (2002/14/EC), the German works council model and various dimensions of Turkish labour law and practice. Evaluating the outputs of the questionnaire conducted between the years 2015-2016 and addressed to selected samples of representatives of labour unions and employers’ organizations as well as to officials of the Turkish Ministry of Labour and Social Security, the article proposes two alternatives for a dual-channel representation system: namely, the establishment of works councils to co-exist with unions and the election of employee representatives. Since the majority of Turkey’s workplaces are currently unrepresented by unions, it is assumed that either option may serve the objectives of adapting Turkish labour relations to international standards and locating representative industrial democracy at the core of work life.

    Employment intensity of economic growth in Southern Europe: evidence from multidimensional panel data
    (2023-06-26) Görkey, Selda; Şen Taşbaşı, Aslı
    This paper examines the employment intensity of economic growth in Southern Europe during the so-called “post-crisis” recovery years. A labor demand estimation model based on multidimensional panel data from 2010 to 2019 was utilized. Findings from our macroeconomic analysis of eight different industries refute the predictions of neoclassical labor theory in the region. The results further indicate the presence of jobless growth in the areas of overall employment, fulltime employment, and overall employees. They also signal that economic growth may have created job opportunities in part-time and youth employment, and among temporary employees, rather than full-time jobs. The paper links these findings to particular characteristics of the regional labor market, discusses their.

    How globalized is the Turkish economy?
    (Int organization center acad research, 2014-02-03) Şen Taşbaşı, Aslı
    This paper aims at analyzing the economic dimension of the pace of globalization for Turkey by using the KOF Index of Globalization between the years 2005 and 2012. Indices and variables to be taken into consideration are classified into two sub-categories as data on actual flows and data on restrictions. Data on actual flows include foreign trade, foreign direct investment, stocks, portfolio investment, and income payments to foreign nationals. Hidden import barriers, mean tariff rate, taxes on international trade and capital account restrictions are the variables which will be assessed while evaluating the economic restrictions. The paper is finally going to compare and discuss alternative globalization measures.

    An analysis of risk transfer and trust nexus in international trade with reference to Turkish data
    (IGI Global, 2022-08-05) Şen Taşbaşı, Aslı; Soykut Sarıca, Yeşim Pınar; Yüksel, Ahmet Hakan
    International trade introduces a range of risks, which causes uncertainty over the timing of delivery and payment between exporters and importers. This chapter is a first attempt in dissecting Turkey's trade data in terms of risk allocation and trust between the parties involved. Breaking down Turkish export and import data for the years 2000 to 2018 according to methods of payment and use of currencies, the chapter first finds the risk is distributed unevenly between the exporter and the importer. Then findings are evaluated to open a new avenue of future research, constructed on the inquiry whether emerging economies like Turkey can establish trust in their trade with developed economies by using blockchain technology.

    What is Turkish economy currently telling us a comparative analysis of trade and labor market indicators
    (Athens Institute for Education and Research, 2011-12-22) Soykut Sarıca, Pınar; Şen Taşbaşı, Aslı
    In the aftermath of the 2007-2008 financial crisis, several economies including developed ones have experienced reductions in growth which can be attributed to falls in trade, commodity prices, investment and employment. In this context, this paper ascertains the current dynamics of trade and labor market in Turkey for the years 2007 to 2011 and presents an overview of the main mechanisms through which the crisis is impacting the country. We first evaluate the key indicators of the labor market, namely labor force participation rate, employment-topopulation ratio, employment by sector, hours of work, unemployment rate, working age population and wages. We then investigate the main trade indicators, i.e. trade of goods and services, current account deficit and balance of payments. By building a comparative perspective, we attempt to highlight some policy options available to countries confronting the crisis in order to have positive outcomes such as employment generation, improving aggregate welfare and a sound economic recovery.

    How competitive is Turkey in meeting international labor standards and in international trade?
    (Springer, 2014) Şen Taşbaşı, Aslı
    Turkey has recently emerged as an economy with one of the highest growth rates in an otherwise dismal global environment. The country has become the world's fifteenth largest and Europe's seventh largest economy, with a decade-long economic boom and rising exports and imports. This chapter seeks to determine whether Turkey has been able to avoid, during this exceptional performance, the temptation to lower labor standards in the belief that it might provide greater comparative advantage in international trade. In this context, the study analyzes the competitiveness of the country in global trade in the last decade using the empirical measures of comparative advantage and determines the extent to which the country is conforming to international labor standards, on the basis of applicable data.
