Master Thesis Labor Market Outcomes of Minimum Wage Increases: a Case Study(Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2019) Işık, Enes; Orhangazi, ÖzgürThere is an ongoing controversy surrounding the minimum wage policy. On the one hand, proponents argue that minimum wage can support employment in the presence of a labor market monopsony; opponents, on the other hand, argue that minimum wage has adverse impact on employment outcomes. In this study, using the 33% minimum wage increase in 2016 in Turkey as a quasi-experiment and utilizing the regional variation in the fraction of workers a↵ected by minimum wage increases, I examine the impact of the minimum wage policy on wages,employment, and informality. I illustrate that young workers and less than high school educated workers are disproportionally represented among minimum wage workers. Armed with this finding, I show wage gains for less educated workers and no adverse impact on employment outcomes. I find, however, relatively large positive informality e↵ects on young workers.According to the findings presented in this study, an additional 10 percent of potential minimum wage workers a↵ected by the 2016 minimum wage increase rises young workers’ informality by 12 to 17 percent.Book Part Heterodox Theories of Economic Growth(Taylor and Francis, 2025) Orhangazi, Ö.In this chapter, I present an overview of the foundational ideas and main issues in heterodox growth theories, paying specific attention to Post Keynesian and Marxian contributions. Although it is not possible to do justice to the whole heterodox literature on economic growth within one chapter, this chapter is intended as an accessible entry point to the many different ways of heterodox growth theorizing. To that end, I set aside the details of the formal theoretical models as well as issues of economic development and the link between growth and development. I start in the next section with Post Keynesian models in general, then move on to models that focus on growth in developing countries, and finally discuss various Marxian approaches to economic growth. In the following section, I outline some common features of various heterodox growth theories and discuss the relevance of heterodox growth theories with respect to the recent ‘secular stagnation’ debate. Finally, I present a brief overview of recent work that is critical of growth itself. © 2026 selection and editorial matter, Tae-Hee Jo, Lynne Chester, and Carlo D’Ippoliti; individual chapters, the contributors.Master Thesis Türkiye'nin Yeşil Dönüşümü ve İş Fırsatları(2023) Gözkün, Kübra Atik; Orhangazi, ÖzgürEnerji sektörü küresel olarak sera gazı emisyonunu arttırırken, Türkiye'deki yıllık sera gazı emisyonlarının %40'ından elektrik üretimi sorumludur. Elektrik enerjisi üretimi amacıyla yenilenebilir enerji kaynaklarına yapılacak geçişin emisyon salınımında düşüşe sebep olması beklenirken, ekonomik aktivite ve istihdam fırsatlarında da artış yaratması beklenmektedir. Literatürdeki araştırmalar, yeşil enerji yatırımlarının ekonomik büyüme ve istihdam üzerindeki etkisi üzerine yoğunlaşmış olup, gelişmekte olan ülkelerdeki net etki belirsizdir. Ayrıca, alternatif politika senaryolarını dikkate alarak Türkiye'nin enerji geçişini inceleyen az sayıda çalışma bulunmaktadır. Bu tez, girdi-çıktı yöntemi ve istihdam faktörü yaklaşımını kullanarak Türkiye'de yeşil enerji dönüşümünün istihdam üzerindeki etkisini farklı senaryolar altında incelemektedir. Her iki analiz de, kömür enerjisinin yenilenebilir enerjiye göre daha yüksek istihdam potansiyeli içerdiğini, yenilenebilir enerji yatırımlarının ise fosil yakıtlara göre daha fazla operasyon ve bakım işi sağladığını göstermektedir. 1 milyon dolarlık yatırım, önümüzdeki 25 sene içerisinde güneş enerjisinde 16.2 iş potansiyeli barındırırken, rüzgar enerjisi 11.6 iş yaratmaktadır. Kömür enerjisi, daha yüksek sermaye maliyetleri nedeniyle yenilenebilir enerjiden daha yüksek bir istihdam yaratma potansiyeline sahip olsa da, öngörülen elektrik talebinin analize dahil edilmesi, 2020 istihdamının toplam %1,3 ila %3,9'una eşdeğer net pozitif istihdam fırsatı yaratmaktadır. Bu sonuçlar enerji endüstrisinin transformasyonunun enerji verimliliği yatırımları ile desteklenmesi gerektiğini ortaya koymaktadır.Book Part Financial Deregulation and the 2007–08 Us Financial Crisis(Edward Elgar Publishing Ltd., 2015) Orhangazi, O.[No abstract available]Book Part Finance, Finance Capital, Financialization(Springer International Publishing, 2021) Orhangazi, Ö.Article Citation - WoS: 91Citation - Scopus: 90The Role of Intangible Assets in Explaining the Investment-Profit Puzzle(Oxford Univ Press, 2019) Orhangazi, ÖzgürStarting around the early 2000s, and especially after the 2008 crisis, the rate of capital accumulation for US nonfinancial corporations has slowed down despite relatively high profitability; indicating a weakening of the link between profitability and investment. While the literature mostly focuses on financialisation and globalisation as the reasons behind this slowdown, I suggest adding another layer to these explanations and argue that, in conjunction with financialisation and globalisation, we need to pay attention to the increased use of intangible assets by nonfinancial corporations in the last two decades. Intangibles such as brand names, trademarks, patents and copyrights play a role in the widening of the profit-investment gap as the use of these assets enables firms to increase market power and profitability without necessarily generating a corresponding increase in fixed capital investment. After discussing the ways nonfinancial corporations use intangible assets, I look at large corporations in the USA and find the following: (i) The ratio of intangible assets to the capital stock increased in general. This increase is highest for firms in high-technology, healthcare, nondurables and telecommunications. (ii) Industries with higher intangible asset ratios have lower investment to profit ratios. (iii) Industries with higher intangible asset ratios have higher markups and profitability. (iv) The composition of the nonfinancial corporate sector has changed and the weight of high-technology and healthcare firms has increased; but this increase did not correspond to an equal increase in their investment share. The decline in the investment share of durables, nondurables and machinery is matched by an increase in the investment share of location-specific industries with low intangible asset use, most notably firms in energy extraction. In general, these firms have steadier markups and higher investment to profit ratios. (v)Yet, intangible-intensive industries' profitability has increased faster than their share of investment or total assets. All in all, these findings are in line with the suggestion that the increased use of intangible assets enables firms to have high profitability without a corresponding increase in investment.Article Citation - WoS: 14Citation - Scopus: 15Turkey in Turbulence: Heterodoxy or a New Chapter in Neoliberal Peripheral Development?(Wiley, 2023) Orhangazi, Ozgur; Yeldan, A. ErincWhile global monetary tightening by central banks, led by the US Federal Reserve, has heightened concerns about a slowdown in the world's economy and an increased likelihood of debt crises across developing countries, Turkey has attracted attention for doing the opposite. Indeed, the country's economic policy makers have intensified monetary easing towards credit expansion at the risk of increased exchange rate instability. This article analyses the Turkish case and makes four contributions. First, it establishes a framework through which we can understand and interpret the policy choices of the government. Second, it shows the binding effects of the trilemma in the context of an economy fully integrated in the global economy and discusses how the government tried to tackle these effects through a series of ad hoc policy measures. Third, the article discloses the distributional consequences of such policy manoeuvres and argues that the burden of adjustment fell on the shoulders of wage labour, while various competing rentier interests benefited from these policies. Fourth, the authors analyse these policies from a broader perspective of whether they can be interpreted as a courageous attempt by a peripheral developing economy to claim some policy space, or whether these policy choices in essence only amount to a deepening of neoliberal peripheralization.Doctoral Thesis The Impact of Borrowing on Household Saving Behavior the Case of Turkey 2003 – 2012(Kadir Has Üniversitesi, 2018) Şenol, Serdar; Orhangazi, ÖzgürThe aim of this Ph.D. thesis is to contribute to the vast literature on the determinants of household saving and reassess the precautionary saving preferences of Turkish households by introducing liquidity and debt related factors aside from the general saving contributors. The precautionary saving motive against future income uncertainties defined as one of the leading indicators of saving preferences is effected through liquidity effects especially in less financialized economies with uneven income distributions. The sharp decline in Turkish households‘ saving ratio in the global financialization period is a good example of the changing saving dynamics with liquidity and debt concepts. in my thesis i use the Turkish Household Budget Surveys for the period of 2003 to 2012. in addition to the socioeconomic and demographic information in these surveys i also utilize generated liquidity and debt indicators. Descriptive analysis confirms the predictions of the saving literature showing young and impatient households to be less inclined to save. Education level improves while employment focuses on the service sector. Uneven income distribution is one of the major factors to limit saving and also precautionary saving opportunities for a significant portion of observations and elevates the importance of liquidity conditions. Empirical analysis confirms the presence of precautionary saving in Turkish households while its significance is lower after the 2008 crisis once liquidity effects are introduced. Moreover wealthy and entrepreneur households are observed to be natural savers. Presumably liquidity constrained households do not demonstrate a difference in precautionary saving preferences but confirming the predictions of the liquidity constraint households hypothesis they dissave with easier liquidity conditions. The presence of debt is an additional saving motive. it is suggested that an improvement in income distribution and a decline in the liquidity constrained households‘ share would rebalance the low saving level of Turkish households.Article Citation - WoS: 68Citation - Scopus: 75The Re-making of the Turkish Crisis(WILEY, 2021) Orhangazi, Özgür; Yeldan, A. ErinçBy the end of 2018 Turkey had entered a new economic crisis and a lengthy recession period. In contrast to the previous financial crises of 1994, 2001 and 2009, when the economy shrank abruptly with a spectacular collapse of asset values and a severe contraction of output, the 2018 economic crisis was characterized by a prolonged recession with persistent low (negative) rates of growth, dwindling investment performance, debt repayment problems, secularly rising unemployment, spiralling currency depreciation and high inflation. The mainstream approach attributes this dismal performance to a lack of 'structural reforms' and/or exogenous policy factors. However, this analysis shows that the underlying sources of the crisis are to be found not in the conjunctural cycles of reform fatigue, but rather in the post-2001, neoliberal, speculation-led growth model that relied excessively on hot-money inflows and external debt accumulation. This article argues that following the post-2001 orthodox reforms, a foreign capital inflow-dependent, debt-led and construction-centred economic growth model dominated the economy and caused a long build-up of imbalances and increased fragilities that led to the 2018 crisis. The Covid-19 pandemic of 2020-21 further exposed these fragilities, pushing the economy back into a recession with rapid capital outflows causing another round of sharp currency depreciation.Article Citation - WoS: 3Citation - Scopus: 3Contours of Alternative Policy Making in Venezuela(Sage Publications Inc, 2014) Orhangazi, ÖzgürThe economic policies of the Venezuelan government in the last decade represent a significant departure from neoliberal orthodoxy. This departure consists of a focus on greater national autonomy, a return to some of the macroeconomic policies of earlier eras, and increased state involvement in the economy through interventions and social programs. While these policies have resulted in improved social indicators, they also have provided space for a set of "transformative" initiatives, including experiments with worker co-management, cooperatives, and participatory planning, all of which seek alternatives to the capitalist organization of the economy. Although the Venezuelan experience could be considered sui generis, especially with the economy's dependence on oil, a critical evaluation of the policies implemented in Venezuela would contribute to discussions on the alternatives to both neoliberal policies and capitalism in general. This paper provides an analysis of the break with neoliberal economic policies and of the transformative initiatives, as well as an evaluation of their achievements together with a discussion on their likely future path.
