Assessing the impacts of digital impacts of Digital Finance Services on Financial Inclusion in the Americas
(Ibn Haldun University Press, 2026) Ali, Usman
This research aims to examine the diverse effects that Digital Financial Services (DFS) exerts on promoting Financial Inclusion (FI) in the Americas. Indeed, we fill the gaps explored from the literature, such as a lack of studies for both American regions, the use of classical probit and logit models by most existing studies, and the lack of employing interaction terms. This research’s primary objectives are to determine how DFS impacts FI in the region, examine which socio-economic factors significantly influence FI, and explore the interactive impacts of DFS with socio-demographic attributes on FI...
Economic and institutional drivers of social welfare expenditure in emerging economies
(Ibn Haldun University Press, 2026) al-Ziyadi, Nuha; Yerlikaya, Murat
This research examines the economic and institutional factors influencing public social welfare spending in eight emerging countries –Bulgaria, Chile, Colombia, Hungary, Korea, Romania, Poland, and Turkey– over the period from 2010 to 2023. By employing a fixed effects panel regression model with robust standard errors, we assess how employment rates, government consumption, GDP per capita, government effectiveness, regulatory quality, and control of corruption affect levels of social spending. The findings indicate that higher employment rates and enhanced government effectiveness are significantly linked to reduced welfare expenditure, implying that better labor market conditions and administrative competence may lessen the necessity for extensive social support. Conversely, increased government consumption, elevated GDP per capita, stronger regulatory quality, and improved control of corruption show a positive relationship with social welfare expenditure, highlighting that both economic capacity and institutional integrity are vital in increasing public investment in social programs. These results emphasize the need to align macroeconomic policies with institutional reforms to maximize the scale and effectiveness of social welfare spending in emerging economies.
Structural transformation and youth employment crisis: Evidence from Ethiopia’s economic development (1999-2023)
(Ibn Haldun University Press, 2026) al-Ziyadi, Nuha; Abdul Rahman, Mohammed Muntaka
This study investigates the impact of structural transformation on youth employment in Ethiopia between 1999 and 2023. Using World Bank data, the analysis applies econometric approaches, including GMM and ARDL models, to examine the effects of sectoral employment shares, foreign direct investment, GDP per capita, urbanization, and a structural transformation index on youth employment outcomes. The findings reveal that industrial employment and overall economic growth contribute positively to youth job opportunities, while agricultural dependence, urbanization, and structural transformation pressures are associated with adverse effects. The service sector exhibits mixed results, with limited capacity to absorb youth labor despite its expansion. Further interaction analysis shows that foreign direct investment supports industrial employment but has negligible or negative effects in agriculture and services. Overall, the results highlight a disconnect between economic growth, investment inflows, and the ability of the labor market to absorb young workers. The study underscores the need for employment-centered development strategies, with a particular emphasis on labor-intensive industrialization and policies that better link investment to youth employment creation.
Istanbul: An early modern imperial capital and a world city
(Telemak Kitap, 2025) Faroqhi, Suraija Roschan; İnsan ve Toplum Bilimleri Fakültesi, Tarih Bölümü
In the present contribution, we discuss Istanbul not as a unique place, although the city certainly was unique in many respects. At the same time however, the Ottoman capital was an example of a special category, namely the center of an early modern empire. As other exemplars, we may name the central cities of the Mughal Empire (Shahjahanabad/Delhi, Agra, for a while Fatehpur Sikri, Lahore), or else the capital of a large and highly organized kingdom such as France…
A behaviorally informed multi-criteria framework for electric bus supplier selection: Integrating IDOCRIW and TODIM
(Sage Publications, 2026) Nebati, Emine Elif; Ayvaz, Berk; Bayraktar, Erkan; Eryarsoy, Enes; Zaim, Selim; Delen, Dursun; Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İşletme Bölümü
The proliferation of motorized vehicles over the past century has significantly intensified environmental challenges, par-ticularly in densely populated urban areas. This study aims to identify the most appropriate electric bus (EB) supplierto support Istanbul’s sustainable public transportation goals. To account for both data-driven objectivity and behavioraldecision-making biases often present in procurement contexts, the study integrates a behavioral decision-making tech-nique (TODIM), grounded in Prospect Theory, with an objective Integrated Determination of Objective Criteria Weights(IDOCRIW). Applying the model to secondary data from Istanbul Electric Tram and Tunnel Enterprises (IETT), S1 wasranked as the top supplier with a normalized dominance score of 1.000, outperforming the second-best alternative (S2,0.865). The results demonstrate the robustness of the proposed model in effectively differentiating between supplieroptions using both objective and behaviorally sensitive criteria. These findings provide practical guidance to municipaltransportation authorities and policymakers seeking to reduce emissions and improve operational efficiency throughdata-informed EB procurement decisions. This study is the first to apply an integrated IDOCRIW-TODIM framework toelectric bus supplier selection, utilizing real operational data from a major emerging-market metropolis. It offers bothmethodological innovation and context-specific decision support, which are largely absent in the existing literature.
