The Emerging Trend of ‘Expat-preneurs’: A Headache for the Pre-existing Ethnic Entrepreneur TheoriesAbstract:With regards to entrepreneurship and migration, the overwhelming majority of studies have focused on entrepreneurs within the context of ‘South to North’ migration. This demographic is usually referred to in the literature as “ethnic entrepreneurs” (Waldinger et al., 1990) or “immigrant entrepreneurs” (Volery, 2007). More recently, a new trend is emerging: A small (but potentially significant) number of entrepreneurial migrants are emigrating away from developed economies. Differentiated from the former in terms of becoming entrepreneurs out of volition, and not necessity (Vance et al., 2016), these migrants have been labelled as “Self Initiated Expatriate entrepreneurs” (Andresen, 2014) or “expat-preneurs” (Solimine, 2015). The emerging trend of expat-preneurs poses several questions (and problems) for the existing theories surrounding ethnic entrepreneurs: Where do expat-preneurs fit into the theoretical landscape? Can the theories - created to account for ethnic entrepreneurs - also explain the behavior of expat-preneurs? This paper reviewed eight of the most prominent theories and found that all eight were created in the context of ‘South to North’ migration, with many of them assuming that immigrant entrepreneurs are disadvantaged. As a result, most of the theories are not - in their current state - broad enough to also account for expat-preneurs. Subsequently, most of the existing ethnic entrepreneur theories now need to be broadened to ‘make room’ for the phenomenon of expat-preneurs. This paper contributes to the gap in the literature surrounding expatpreneurs, which has been described as an an under-researched phenomenon (Andresen et al., 2014)

Testing the Engel Law for Turkey and Income Elasticity of Food Demand: Relationship of Budget Share of Food Expenditure with Household Profile and Total Expenditure (2003-2013)Abstract:This study set out to test the Engel-Law for the food expenditures in Turkey for 2003-2013 period and to estimate the income elasticity of food demand controlling the demographic characteristics of the households. Household Budget Survey data is used for the quantile regression estimation of the Working-Leser model. The results show that the income elasticity of food demand is between 0.62-0.79 for the period. The elasticity is smaller for the conditional quantiles of higher budget share of food. The findings include the relationships of the budget share of food with the age, education, and social security coverage of the household heads as well as with the household’s urban/rural location. The probable effects of the 2008 economic crisis also appears in the findings

Bölgesel Kalkınmanın İktisadi Politiği: Siyasal Çoğulculuk ve Yatırım İlişkisiAbstract: Public and private fixed capital investments are vital dynamics of the regional economic growth. Therefore, the potential determinants of regional allocations of public and private investments must be investigated to establish persistent and balanced regional development. One of them is political pluralism. This study includes analysis of the relationship between political pluralism and regional allocation of public and private investments and also regional economic growth. For this purpose, Fixed Effects Panel Model on which analyzed 26 NUTS-II Regions over 2008-2011 period was established by using Herfindahl-Hirschman Index which created by vote ratios of political parties in 2007 and 2011 Parliamentary Elections. The findings of the model show that political polarization has positive effects on public and private investments and it is important determinant of regional development. Also, literacy and manufacturing rates effects regional growth positively through positive externalities on investments

Analyzing Internal Migration to Antalya and Muğla through Gravity ModellingAbstract: Antalya and Muğla provinces located in southwestern Turkey recently emerged as new magnets for internal migration. In an earlier study, we had pointed out that the dynamics underlying migration to these two provinces differs in many respects from that fueling the population movements to traditional magnets. In this paper, we complement our previous findings by showing how in some other key respects, migration to Antalya and Muğla is similar to migration to traditional destinations. We accomplish this by estimating separate gravity models for the two provinces in question, using both OLS and robust regression methods. We find that migration to Antalya and Muğla is affected by distance from the origin adversely, and by unemployment differential between the origin and destination, past migration from the origin, population sizes at the origin and destination, and natural disasters at the origin, favorably

Bölgesel Kalkınmada Kamunun Rolü: Türkiye Üzerine Ampirik Bir AnalizAbstract: The aim of this study is to analyze the effect of public investments and investment incentives on regional development in Turkey by using panel data method with the period of 2004-2010. For that purpose, the NUTS (Nomenclature of Territorial Units for Statistics) Level 2 which divides Turkey into 26 separate regions is used for division of regions. According to the results of the Fixed Effects Model regression, there are two main findings. The first one states that the public investments effect regional development positively. If it is considered in details, the positive effects of public investments on transportation and education is greater than the effects of other public investments. Secondly, the domestic investment incentives do not contribute to the regional development of Turkey while the foreign incentives have positive impact on regional development
