商品簡介
What constitutes the "real" economy of Turkey? How do the behaviors of the corporate and government sectors fit within that economy? Looking at the Turkish economy from a comparative context and applying dynamic analysis, the contributors of these 11 articles examine the real economy in terms of productivity and growth from 1923-2003, the role of education in income and consumption inequality, the female labor supply, and provide a disaggregated analysis of price dynamics. On the corporate side they look at the capital structure decisions, profitability and levels of liquidity and investment, and the concentration of ownership as it relates to corporate performance. Articles on the government sector and reform describe privatization, the political economy of pension reforms, and the continuing challenges of the banking system.
