Gümüş, Yasin Kerem This paper deals with the success of Europe in the global war for talent. While the first part of the paper explores the global structural changes that influence the war for talent and the limitations of EU policy in attracting talent, looking at the European Union as a whole as well as examining immigration policies in individual regions and countries, the second part explores EU policy that has been introduced to fight' the war for talent, such as the Blue Card and Scientific Visa. Finally, the paper tries to find an answer to the question how Europe fares against its main competitors: Australia, Canada and the US. Much of this discussion will be focused on the ability of the European Union to attract highly skilled migrants. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12619/45771 Should be Frightened of Change in Freight Rates? A Casuality Analysis Between International Maritime Transportation Costs and Industrial Stock Market Returns Şimdi, Halil; Tunahan, Hakan; Tunahan, Hakan This paper examines on the linkage among stock indexes and transportation costs in global financial crisis. Therefore, we aim to find out whether Dow Jones Composite Average (DJA) and Istanbul Stock Exchange Industrial (BIST-Ind.) have causality relation with Baltic Dry Index (BDI) in 2007-2009 global financial crisis by performing Toda-Yamamoto (1995) causality test with weekly returns of indexes. Tests confirm unidirectional causality from BIST-Ind. to BDI and bidirectional causality between DJA and BDI. Test results show that BIST-Ind. decoupled from DJA in the 2008 global financial crisis when international maritime transportation cost are taken into account. Thus, the impact of international freight rates is influential over more globalized industrial stock markets. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12619/45772 TURKISH LABOUR MIGRATION TO THE UK: EFFECTS ON INTERNATIONAL TRADE Gümüş, Yasin Kerem This paper seeks to determine whether there is an actual link between trade and the immigration. In order to address this objective, the paper takes the trade between Turkey and UK as a case study. It is clear that Turkish communities in the UK not only contributed to the country's economy in terms of taxes, they have also helped to create demand for Turkish products which has correspondingly increased the import of such products into the country. In addition, research also indicated the opposite, in terms of the direction of trade, as the profile of the UK and its products and businesses has increased in Turkey as more and more people develop a link with the country through the extended families living in the UK. This in turn has helped to increase bidirectional trade between the two countries, a fact that received very little attention in the literature. 2015-01-01T00:00:00Z https://hdl.handle.net/20.500.12619/45773 Long Lasting Businesses in Turkey: Who are they? Where are they? Which industries are they in? Dil, Esra This study aims to list the long-lasting businesses in Turkey. In the scope of the research, primarily, a draft list was prepared, based on information obtained from academic sources. Following this phase, new data were gathered from internet search engines throughout various stages. In the final phase of the research, 289 long-lasting businesses founded in between 1777-1928 were revealed. Many of these businesses were found to be operating in the food industry and were located in the province of Istanbul. A significant increase in the number of businesses after the 1900s was also observed. This study aims to provide a reference source for further business history research with the list of the revealed long-lasting businesses presented in this paper. 2016-01-01T00:00:00Z
