Analyzing wealth inequality in Türkiye: The effects of monetary policies and financial inclusion
(Ibn Haldun University Press, 2026) Karaca, Mahmud İrfan
This paper examines how recent monetary policies in Turkey have affected wealth inequality through the channel of financial access. Wealth inequality has widened in Turkey in the context of high inflation, negative real interest rates, and unconventional policy tools such as the Currency-Protected Deposit Scheme (KKM). While asset holders and financially included groups have been able to hedge against inflation and currency depreciation, financially excluded individuals have faced rising living costs and eroding real wealth. The study is based on an online survey of 270 adult residents in Turkey, designed to capture demographic characteristics, levels of financial literacy, use of financial instruments, and perceptions of economic and monetary policies. Respondents were classified into three main groups: users of conventional financial instruments, users of alternative (often interest-free) instruments, and non-users. Descriptive analysis is used to compare wealth outcomes and perceived advantages across these groups...
Sustainable Leadership Competency Model (SLCM) for Emerging Markets and Developing Economies: Integrating global frameworks with regional realities
(Ibn Haldun University Press, 2026) Hacıoğlu, Ümit; Ghezel, Alireza; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İşletme Bölümü
Effective leadership is critical for navigating the complex sustainability challenges unique to Emerging Markets and Developing Economies (EMDEs). While global leadership models provide a foundation, they lack contextual applicability for the distinct volatilities and socio-cultural realities of EMDEs, creating a significant gap in both theory and practice. This study aimed to develop and validate a culturally attuned Sustainable Leadership Competency Model (SLCM) specifically for these contexts. The research employed a sequential mixed-methods methodology, beginning with a systematic review of global literature to extract competencies, followed by structured interviews with 13 regional experts for validation and refinement. The resulting validated model identifies five core domains Strategic Competencies, Core Competencies, Core Values, Collaborative Competencies, and Personal Leadership Capacities comprising 16 specific competencies, including critical refinements such as Frugal Innovation, Critical Reflexivity, and Authentic Humility. This study provides policymakers, educators, and organizational leaders in EMDEs with a practical, evidence-informed framework to cultivate leaders capable of driving inclusive and resilient growth. Future research should focus on developing a quantitative instrument to test the model’s predictive validity across diverse EMDE settings.
Are proxies of Balassa-Samuelson effect robust? Evidence from developing countries
(Ibn Haldun University Press, 2026) Shafique, Ahsan; El Morabit, Fatima
Exchange rate movements have started achieving a pivotal role in shaping economic expectations of a common man in today’s world. These variations which once used to be regular oscillations between currencies in the world market have gradually become the real drivers of change of the macroeconomic fundamentals in every economy. On the one hand, the daily changes in these rates impact the consumption and investment decisions of the individuals while their deviation from a perceived rather calculated normal steers action from the governments on the other, in order to control other connected macroeconomic indicators including inflation, investment, exports, imports etc. The evidence suggests that no matter how deviated these the real exchange rates between two countries may be, there exist tacit drivers that pull them back to converge to a similar pattern over time to the least. Despite evidence on convergence of real exchange rates, the studies that aim to investigate the determinants of equilibrium exchange rate find scant or at least inconclusive evidence in favour of Balassa Samuelson hypothesis (and hence purchasing power parity) as being a determinant of real exchange rate (or equilibrium real exchange rate)...
[ConferenceObject] Analyzing the impact of fiscal austerity policy on urban resilience in Türkiye
(Ibn Haldun University Press, 20226) Memon, Zoha
Urban resilience is defined as the ability of urban economies to absorb, respond to, and recover from external and internal shocks, including economic crises, policy changes, natural disasters, and socio-political disruptions. During financial crises, governments often attempt to stabilize the economy through fiscal austerity policies, which is one of the most comprehensive policy responses, including methods such as the government increasing taxes or reducing public spending. However, the socioeconomic impact of such policies in developing nations remains unexplored. Therefore, the objective of this research is to empirically analyze Türkiye’s fiscal austerity and its potential implications for regional urban resilience. While most literature predominantly explores the macro-level impacts of fiscal policies, this research conducts cross-regional comparative research using data on urban resilience and fiscal austerity in all 81 provinces of Türkiye between 2008 and 2024. With Principal Component Analysis (PCA), the urban resilience index is developed using 14 comprehensive indicators across three dimensions: economic, social, and infrastructural, allowing the analysis to provide a more nuanced interpretation of the relationship between urban adaptability and fiscal pressures...
Cultural differences, adaptation, and dynamics: Perspective from black African male immigrants in interracial marriage in Türkiye
(Ibn Haldun University Press, 2026) Mohammed Laye, Zulkarnain
This study examined the role of cultural differences in interracial marriages. A qualitative approach employing in-depth interviews with 20 individuals in marriages involving black male African immigrants and ‘white’ female Turks was utilized to examine how the couples perceive culture differences as a variable in their marriages, its impact on the formation of their relationships, how it shapes and continues to shape their union, including the challenges it presents, and how they navigate these challenges. Almost all the respondents appreciated cultural differences as a likely route of conflict in their unions. In the same breath, they tailored the strength of their union to these differences. In this regard, cultural differences provided spices to nourish their union, preventing the union from going dormant with rudimentary claws. There is always something new to learn, which instills an element of adventure into the union. While improved and constant communication was key in resolving conflicts generally, downplaying differences and holding on to a common identity in religion were significant for many. These findings further existing literature by shifting the focus away from the overly focused hostile terrain of conflicts associated with cultural differences.
