Doğrudan yabancı yatırımlar, tasarruf-yatırım açığı sorunundan dolayı sermaye birikimini gerçekleştiremeyen gelişmekte olan ülke ekonomilerine önemli bir kaynak olmaktadır. Doğrudan yabancı yatırımların ev sahibi ülkeye özellikle ekonomik büyüme ve istihdam açısından katkı sağlaması beklenmektedir. Bu nedenle bu çalışmada Türkiye’de doğrudan yabancı yatırımların ekonomik büyüme ve istihdama etkisi araştırılmış ve 2006:Q1 – 2021:Q2 dönemi verileri kullanılarak, ARDL analizi ve Toda-Yamamoto nedensellik testi uygulanmıştır. Yapılan ampirik analizler sonucunda, doğrudan yabancı yatırımların ekonomik büyümeyi uzun dönemde pozitif, kısa dönemde negatif etkilediği, nedensellik ilişkisinin ise çift yönlü olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Ayrıca analizlere göre doğrudan yabancı yatırımlar istihdamı uzun dönemde pozitif etkilerken, kısa dönemde etkilememektedir. Değişkenler arasında nedensellik ilişkisi ise çift yönlüdür.

This study aims to examine the concept of performance audit and organizational excellence using a stakeholder perspective. This research was conducted in a service organization by observing and collecting information from informant covering directors, shareholders, and employees. This research is qualitative, using semi-structured interviews with a constructionist approach. Based on the results of the analysis that has been carried out, it is found that there are no significant differences of opinion among stakeholders regarding the concept of performance auditing in the achievement of organizational excellence, and there are differences of opinion regarding the magnitude of the contribution of performance audits given in an effort to achieve organizational excellence, namely 5–10%, 80–90%, and 95–95%. This study uses stakeholder theory to identify stakeholders in the object of research, and the results show that there is a dominant role, namely, the dominant stakeholder which plays the role of customer. In this case, the organization relies on significant stakeholders to achieve organizational excellence.

There is a growing recognition of the key role that women play in the economic and social development of a country. The empowerment of women has become an integral part of us. Therefore, we need to understand the processes through which we can ensure their empowerment and political participation. First of all, this study critically examines the socio-cultural problems that serve as barriers to women empowerment and the concrete policies and programs needed to nip them in the bud. As a result of this, the study also analyses the government of Ghana's policies and programs aimed at empowering women. These were designed and executed according to the political settlements approach. The study, therefore, examines this approach and uses both qualitative and quantitative methods to analyze them. In the end, data analysis will prove that these policies were successful in ensuring Women empowerment and political participation

This study empirically examines the effects of oil prices on the trade balance of Turkey, which depends heavily on oil imports. Unlike the other studies on this subject, in this study, the relationship between oil prices and trade balance is investigated by regime-dependent impulse response functions and forecast error decompositions based on multivariate Threshold VAR (TVAR) model comparing with linear VAR model. The findings suggest that, the relationship between oil prices and trade balances is non-linear. In the regime of higher oil price volatility, components of trade balance respond stronger to oil price shocks than lower regime and linear VAR model. Oil price increases in the high regime deteriorates the total trade balance, non-oil and non-gas trade balance and intermediate trade balance; on the other hand, consumption trade balance of Turkey is positively affected from oil price increases. Additionally, consumption goods trade balance found to be the mostly affected by oil price shocks according to the impulse-response functions and variance decomposition analysis. Finally, the findings obtained from linear VAR and lowest regime are generally similar and has less effect on the trade balance components.

The aim of this study is to analyze the causality relationship between inflation, unemployment and economic growth variables for selected OECD (France, Australia, Canada, Germany, Iceland, Poland, Italy, Spain, Portugal, Turkey) countries using the data set for the years 2010-2020. with to reveal. In order to determine whether the economic growth variable has an effect on unemployment and inflation, unit root tests were first conducted for the variables used in the study. According to the results of the test, it was determined that the variables contained unit root. Considering the data obtained from this study, the hypothesis that there is no cointegration at the 5% significance level on average is rejected. According to Dumitrescu and Hurlin (2012) panel causality test, although a bidirectional causality relationship was detected between growth and unemployment variables, a unidirectional causality relationship was found between unemployment and inflation variables. In this context, it is known that there is a cointegration relationship between the variables (economic growth, inflation, unemployment) for at least one of the countries. It is expected that this study will contribute to the literature with current data and new generation econometric tests.

Extant accounting literature has broadly investigated expectation gap in audit context. Previous research reveals the existence of conflict which refer to role concept whether in the expectation of auditor role, response to audit output, or understanding of auditee’s business process. Meanwhile, observation from internal organization’s point of view is still limited whereas the urgency of evaluating performance and maintaining organizational excellence are escalating. Examining performance audit in service organization, this study qualitatively observed perception and expectation of stakeholders on performance audit concept using role theory framework. Role theory posits some propositions in relation to patterns of behavior to which individuals can be in conformity or can be in conflict in terms of compatibility to expectation of others. Semi structured interview with participant’s observer is performed in this study to investigate key stakeholders in the organization. Interesting result emerges which shows the existence of practicality concept instead of conformity. In addition, expectation of such impact from performance evaluation is equally the same among different stakeholders except on the perceived quantity measure. Important implication of this study result is further discussed.
