New high-resolution display device for holographic three-dimensional video: principles and simulations
(Bilkent University, 2017-08-03)A new acousto-optical holographic display device, which is expected to solve the display resolution and refresh problems that are common to available holographic displays, is proposed. The device is based on the ... -
Many-body effects in a two-component, one-dimensional electron gas with repulsive, short-range interactions
(Elsevier, 1998-03-09)We investigate the correlation effects in a two-component, one-dimensional electron gas interacting via repulsive δ function interactions. Electron correlations are treated within the approximation scheme of Singwi, Tosi, ... -
An improved lumped element nonlinear circuit model for a circular CMUT cell
(IEEE, 2012-08)This paper describes a correction and an extension in the previously published large signal equivalent circuit model for a circular capacitive micromachined ultrasonic transducer (CMUT) cell. The force model is rederived ... -
Central Bank Independence and Economic Performance in Eastern Europe
(Elsevier, 2001-12)Following the breakdown of central planning by the early 1990s, transition economies faced varying measures of the need for economic restructuring and stabilisation. This paper examines both the trends in economic performance ... -
Effects of Growth Volatility on Economic Performance
(Elsevier, 2012-03-01)This paper examines the relationship between growth and growth volatility for a small open economy with high growth volatility: Turkey. Quarterly data for the period from 1987Q1 to 2007Q3 suggests that growth volatility ... -
To invest or screen efficiently: a potential conflict in relationships governed by incomplete contracts
(Elsevier, 2001-03)We consider a dynamic trade relationship where quality is not contractible and potential sellers retain quality-relevant private information. We show that the presence of an investment technology to improve the incumbent ... -
Cross-document word matching for segmentation and retrieval of Ottoman divans
(Springer London, 2014)Motivated by the need for the automatic indexing and analysis of huge number of documents in Ottoman divan poetry, and for discovering new knowledge to preserve and make alive this heritage, in this study we propose a ... -
Speculation and the Decision to Abandon a Fixed Exchange Rate Regime
(Elsevier, 2002-06)This paper demonstrates that the implications of first-generation speculative attack models do not hold if there is a rational, forward-looking policy maker. The policy maker will be able to avoid predictable speculative ... -
Law Enforcement and Legal Presumptions
(Elsevier, 2001-12)We compare two alternative legal presumptions, one more pro-defendant than the other, with the objective of reducing bureaucratic corruption to any target level at minimum social costs, broadly defined to include law ... -
Regulated fractionally integrated processes
(Wiley, 2013)Regulated (bounded) integrated time series are of significant practical importance and a recent development in the time series literature. Although regulated integrated series are characterized by asymptotic distributions ... -
Central Bank Reform, Liberalization and Inflation in Transition Economies - An International Perspective
(Elsevier, 2002-03)This paper develops extensive new indices of legal independence (central bank independence (CBI)) for new central banks (CBs) in 26 former socialist economies. The indices reveal that CB reform in the FSE during the 1990s ... -
Economics of environmental policy in Turkey: A general equilibrium investigation of the economic evaluation of sectoral emission reduction policies for climate change
(Elsevier, 2008)Research on climate change has intensified on a global scale as evidence on the costs of global warming continues to accumulate. Confronted with such evidence, the European Union set in late 2006 an ambitious target to ... -
The effects of exchange rate fluctuations on economic activity in Turkey
(Elsevier, 2007-06)The paper examines the effects of exchange rate fluctuations on real output, the price level, and the real value of components of aggregate demand in Turkey. The theoretical model decomposes movements in the exchange rate ... -
The role of international trade on environmental efficiency
(Elsevier, 2001-01)The relationship between trade and environmental conditions receives considerable attention whenever countries are in the process of negotiating trade agreements. In this paper using a non-parametric non-stochastic production ... -
Searching for a Kuznets curve in environmental efficiency using kernel estimation
(Elsevier, 2000-08)The paper constructs environmental efficiency indexes for a sample consisting of high- and low-income countries using nonparametric production frontier techniques and then establishes an environmental Kuznets relationship ... -
Hyperbolic efficiency and return to the dollar
(Elsevier, 2002-02-01)This paper, after establishing the relations between hyperbolic graph measure of technical efficiency and the radial measures of technical efficiency, shows that the dual, cost and revenue interpretation of the hyperbolic ... -
Financial liberalization and fiscal repression in Turkey: Policy analysis in a CGE model with financial markets
(Elsevier, 1997-02)The effects of recent Turkish financial liberalization reforms on the real economy are investigated with the aid of a computable general equilibrium model that incorporates financial markets. The model is used for conducting ... -
Free Parking for All in Shopping Malls
(John Wiley and Sons, 2014-11)We show why a mall provides parking for free and embed the parking costs in the prices of the goods. Essentially, charging a parking fee to risk-averse customers means penalizing them for not finding their desired good. ... -
Theorems on the core of an economy with infinitely many commodities and consumers
(Elsevier, 2008-12-01)It is known that the classical theorems of Grodal [Grodal, B., 1972. A second remark on the core of an atomless economy. Economettica 40, 581-583] and Schmeidler [Schmeidler, D., 1972. A remark on the core of an atomless ... -
Egalitarianism under earmark constraints
(Elsevier, 2013-03)Agents with single-peaked preferences share a resource coming from different suppliers; each agent is connected to only a subset of suppliers. Examples include workload balancing, sharing earmarked funds, and rationing ...
