    Confidential revenue and profit forecasts by management and financial analysts : evidence from Turkey
    (1992) Seçilmiş, Kahraman Büge
    This study is a replication of a study conducted by Schreuder and Klaassen in the Netherlands, in 1984 called "Confidential Revenue and Profit Forecasts by Management and Financial Analysts". The aim of the study is to examine the accuracy of management's internal forecast of revenue and profit, taking analysts' forecasts as a standard of comparison for Turkey. This research design differs from the previous research in that (a) it is based on confidential instead of published data, (b) it includes revenue and profit data, and (c); it investigates the extent to which the forecasters themselves, were surprised by the actual outcomes. For the study, management and analysts' forecasts on 18 companies in Istanbul Stock Exchange were collected. The findings show that managers perform slightly but not significantly better than the analysts. The errors rare close but smaller than the Schreuder and Klaassen' s study, 'and the difference between the revenue and profit forecasts' error is small whereas it is much higher for world revenue and prof'it forecast errors difference.

    Ownership, efficiency, and indebtedness: a comparison of private and public firms in Turkey
    (1997) Erkaya, B. Nilgün
    The public sector in Turkey which was founded in the early 1930’s for the production of basic consumer goods has been accused of being a drain on public resources and of accounting for the bulk of the public deficits since the early 1980’s. This thesis investigates if the effect of efficiency on the distribution of bank credit is different for public and private firms. Firm level efficiencies are estimated from production function and these estimated efficiencies are used to estimate the capital structure equation. The results show that the efficiency of a firm affects its access to bank credit negatively for public sector and positively for private sector.
