Bu çalışmada Türkiye’de sosyal güvenlik politikalarının sürdürülebilirliği, 1989-2013 döneminin yıllık verileri ve 2007:M01-2014:M05 döneminin aylık verileri kullanılarak, Carrion-i-Silvstre vd. (2009) çoklu yapısal kırılmalı birim kök testi ve Maki (2012) çoklu yapısal kırılmalı eşbütünleşme testi yardımıyla incelenmiş ve seriler arasında eşbütünleşme ilişkisinin var olduğu bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır. Seriler arasındaki uzun dönem eşbütünleşme katsayıları FMOLS yöntemiyle tahmin edilmiş ve Türkiye’de sosyal güvenlik politikalarının, zayıf formda sürdürülebilir olduğu bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır. Sosyal güvenlik harcamalarının, 1989-2013 döneminde yaklaşık %70’inin, 2007-2014 döneminde ise ortalama %78’inin sosyal güvenlik kurumu gelirleri ile karşılanabildiği bulgusuna ulaşılmıştır. Son yıllarda sosyal güvenlik sisteminin sürdürülebilirliğinde az da olsa bir iyileşmenin var olduğu görülmüştür.

Abstract

Small and Medium Enterprises forms 99.77% of all enterprises in Turkey and 78% of the workers are employed in these workplaces. While Small and Medium Enterprises contributing to economic and social life in a positive way, they have problems especially about finacial situation, the technology used, the quality of labour and working conditions. One of the other problems related to these workplaces is occupational health and safety, 75% of the accidents at work occur in these workplaces according to the 2012 statistics. In addition to the structural problems in these workplaces, inadequacies of the occupational health and safety legislation are effective in the emergence of this situation. With the Occupational Health and Safety Law, all the workplaces were compelled to employ health and safety professionals. This situation brought financial burdens for especially small businesses. Law No. 6331, made a favorable regulation and contribution to small businesses for reducing the cost of employment of occupational health and safety professionals. However, it was observed that aforementioned financial support for small businesses was not beneficial since the coming into force of the Law. The main reasons of this situation are lack of knowledge of the parties’ involved, insufficient institutional infrastructure and also lack of support provided.

Türkiye’de toplam işletmelerin % 99.77’si küçük ve orta ölçekli işletmelerden oluşmakta ve çalışanların % 78’i bu işyerlerinde istihdam edilmektedir. Küçük ve orta ölçekli işletmeler ekonomik ve sosyal hayata yönelik çok yönlü olumlu katkıları olmakla birlikte finansal yapı, üretim teknolojisi, çalışma şartları ve işgücünün niteliği gibi çok yönlü problemlerle de karşı karşıyadırlar. Bu işyerleri ile ilgili problem alanlarından birini de iş sağlığı ve güvenliği oluşturmaktadır. Nitekim,2012 yılı istatistiklerine göre iş kazalarının %75’i bu işyerlerinde yaşanmaktadır. Bu olumsuz tablonun ortaya çıkışında bu işyerlerinin yapısal sorunlarının yanısıra iş sağlığı ve güvenliği mevzuatı ve uygulamaları ile ilgili yetersizliklerin de payı vardır. 6331 sayılı İş Sağlığı ve Güvenliği Kanunu, bütün işyerlerini Kanun kapsamına almış ve iş sağlığı güvenliği hizmetleri için bütün işyerlerinde sağlık ve güvenlik profesyonellerinin görevlendirilmesi zorunlu kılınmıştır. İş sağlığı ve güvenliği profesyonelleri çalıştırma yükümlülüğü, çok sayıda iş kazasının olduğu çok küçük işyerleri için karşılayamayacakları bir mali yükü de beraberinde getirmiştir. 6331 sayılı Kanun çok olumlu bir düzenleme ile, tehlikeli ve çok tehlikeli sınıfta yer alan küçük işyerlerinin, iş sağlığı ve güvenliği profesyonelleri istihdamı için katlanacakları maliyeti azaltmaya yönelik maddi katkı sağlayıcı desteklere de yer vermiştir. Ancak, Kanun hükümlerinin yürürlüğe girmesinden bugüne kadar geçen 2 yılı aşkın sürede küçük işyerlerine yönelik maddi destek uygulamasının karşılık bulmadığı görülmüştür. Bu durum ilgili tarafların bilgi yetersizliği yanında, uygulamaya yönelik kurumsal alt yapı eksiklikleri ve sağlanan desteğin yetersizliği sebebleri ile açıklanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, küçük işyerlerine yönelik desteğin niteliği, uygulaması ve yeterliliği ele alınacaktır.

Abstract

Global Financial Crisis erupted as a sub-prime mortgage market crisis in US and became a full-fledged global crisis after the fall of Lehman Brothers. Thus, the effects of financial crisis spread to all over the world. In the Eurozone, the financial crisis became more challenging as it provoked the sovereign debt problems of some countries and triggered a sovereign debt crisis. Sovereign Debt Crisis was the first crisis in the Eurozone after forming a monetary union and put the viability of the union under risk. In this tranquil environment, European Central Bank (ECB) responded the crisis with set of monetary policy tools- conventional and unconventional. ECB pursued unconventional monetary policy parallel to its conventional monetary policy tool- policy rate. It provided liquidity support to markets, purchase public and private assets and guide markets about future short-term interest rates in the context of unconventional monetary policy. The aims of using these policies are similar for all central banks: alleviating the financial market tensions and stimulating aggregate demand. This study evaluated the effectiveness of these policies on the basis of these aims. The study finds out that ECB has been effective on depressing the financial market stress but ECB has not been effective on stimulating the aggregate demand.

Abstract

In recent years, because of stakeholders’ transparency demand from enterprises and want information about financial performance as well as environmental and social performance, sustainability reporting attracts more attention of stakeholders. In this study, a survey was conducted on firms that issue sustainability reports in Turkey. The purpose of this study is to examine the issues that lead enterprises to sustainable activities, enterprises’ priorities, barriers, training and technical support requirements. According to the results of the research, sustainability practices have been seen as an important element of corporate reputation; areas that are regulated by law are among priorities of enterprises; areas that bring additional cost are not among priorities of enterprises. It is identified that lack of incentives for sustainability performance has been seen as an obstacle for sustainability practices.

Abstract

In perfectly frictionless and rational markets, spot markets and futures markets should simultaneously reflect new information. However, due to market imperfections, one of these markets may reflect information faster than the other and therefore may lead to the other. This study examines the lead-lag relationship between stock index and stock index futures, in terms of both price and volatility, by using 5 minute data over 2007-2010 period. The findings of this study indicate that a stable long-term relationship between Turkish stock index and stock index futures exists, however stock index futures do not lead stock index and there is a two way interaction between them. Therefore neither of the markets is dominant over the other one in the price formation process.
