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.
Linkage between higher education development and environmental degradation: An empirical evidence from Pakistan
(Ibn Haldun University Press, 2026) Khalid, Rabia; Arshed, Noman
Concerns related to environmental sustainability are increasing, particularly in the case of developing countries where redundant human capital poses a severe threat to the environment. Present study examines the role of higher education towards environmental sustainability in the case of Pakistan. The association between higher education development and CO2 emission is examined through the ARDL model from 1965 to 2020. Apart from ARDL the non-linearity among variables have been tested through QARDL model. The number of students enrolled in higher education institutes has been used as a proxy for higher education development. The bounds test findings confirmed the cointegration among variables, whereas the Error Correction Term (ECM) coefficient indicates that the series converges toward its long-run path with a speed of 49 percent per year. Findings concluded that development in higher education act as a catalyst in reducing environmental degradation, raising awareness among individuals to change their consumption patterns from non-renewable to renewable energy sources. Furthermore, results of Quantile regression confirmed that the U-shaped environmental Kuznets Curve exists in the case of Pakistan. This study suggests that expanding higher education can be a powerful instrument for finding an innovative solution to overcome environmental challenges.
