    Does governance affect corporate diversification behaviour in emerging markets?
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francıs Ltd, 2020) Sener, Pınar; Akben Selçuk, Elif
    This paper investigates the role of firm-level and country-level governance on corporate diversification behaviour in emerging markets. The results show that firms with combined leadership structure are more diversified while firms with more independent directors are less diversified. There is a U-shaped relationship between ownership concentration and diversification. No significant association between country-level shareholder protection and diversification is demonstrated.

    Corporate Social Responsibility and Financial Performance: the Moderating Role of Ownership Concentration in Turkey
    (MDPI, 2019) Akben Selçuk, Elif
    The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of corporate social responsibility (CSR) engagement on firm financial performance in a developing country, Turkey, and to analyze the moderating role of ownership concentration in the CSR-financial performance relationship. The sample consists of non-financial public firms listed on the Borsa Istanbul (BIST)-100 index and covers the period between 2014 and 2018. Empirical results using an instrumental variable approach show that corporate social responsibility has a positive relationship with financial performance. Furthermore, findings indicate that this relationship is negatively moderated by ownership concentration even when endogeneity is controlled for.

    Corporate Governance and Tunneling: Empirical Evidence From Turkey
    (Economics Bulletin, 2018) Akben Selçuk, Elif; Sener, Pınar
    This study investigates whether internal governance mechanisms affect tunneling through intercorporate loans for a sample of Turkish listed non-financial firms over the period 2006 to 2014. While the findings reveal a significant and positive relationship between state ownership and tunneling and a significant and negative relationship between foreign ownership and tunneling the relationship between family ownership and tunneling is non-linear. In addition while board size is negatively associated with tunneling independent directors do not prevent the embezzlement of resources. Furthermore the results indicate that while older firms firms with family chairman and higher growth opportunities are more likely to engage in tunneling activities firm size high cash holding leverage and financial distress do not affect tunneling.

As a result of the scale applications data showing the attitudes of the employees in private and the public banks regarding the use of political tactics in the organizations were obtained and these data were examined by measuring the observations and expectations about the use of political tactics thus leading to the conclusion that the observations and expectations of employees of both public and private banks do differ.

    Cash Holdings and Corporate Governance: Evidence From Turkey
    (IGI Global, 2019) Akben Selçuk, Elif; Şener, Pınar
    This chapter investigates the empirical factors affecting corporate cash holdings with special emphasis on corporate governance variables for a sample of Turkish-listed nonfinancial firms over the period 2006 to 2010. The findings reveal a significant non-linear relation between family ownership and cash holdings. In addition, while board structure does not significantly affect the level of cash holdings, tunneling increases cash reserves of firms. Furthermore, the results indicate that cash flow, leverage, other liquid assets that can be used as cash substitutes, the degree of tangibility of assets, and firm size are important in determining cash holdings among Turkish companies.

    Corporate Diversification and Firm Value: Evidence From Emerging Markets
    (Emerald Group Publishing Limited, 2015) Akben Selçuk, Elif
    Purpose - The purpose of this paper is to investigate the impact of corporate diversification on firm value in a sample of nine emerging markets including Brazil Chile Indonesia Malaysia Philippines Poland South Africa Thailand and Turkey. For the purpose of this study a company is classified as diversified when it is operating in two or more lines of business defined by the two-digit SIC codes. Design/methodology/approach - Employing panel data from 1568 companies for the period 2005-2010 this paper estimates both a fixed effects model and a dynamic generalized method of moments model. Data are collected both at company level and segment level within each firm. Findings - Overall analysis results suggest that for the period from 2005 to 2010 diversified firms in emerging markets are valued more compared to single-segment firms operating in similar industries providing support for diversification premium. Originality/value - The effect of diversification on company value in emerging markets is an important managerial and public policy concern. Although the literature on developed country diversified firms is rich only a few studies have examined diversification-value relationship in the context of developing countries. Furthermore most previous research on the value effects of corporate diversification in emerging markets has taken the form of case studies within countries and concentrated on the 1990s. This paper tries to fill these gaps by using a larger sample and more recent data and methodology.

    Family Involvement, Corporate Governance and Dividends in Turkey
    (Emerald Group Publishing Limited, 2019) Sener, Pinar; Akben Selçuk, Elif
    Purpose: The purpose of this paper is to investigate the relationship between dividends and family involvement as well as corporate governance characteristics among Turkish public firms. Design/methodology/approach: Using panel data on Turkish firms listed on the Borsa Istanbul 100 index for 2006–2014 three models are estimated. For the first two models where the dependent variables are the dividend payout ratio and dividend yield respectively tobit regressions are run. The last model which employs a dividend dummy as the dependent variable is estimated with logistic regression. Findings: There is a positive and concave relationship between family ownership and dividends. The existence of a family chairman reduces dividends. There is a positive association between board size and dividends and this relationship is weaker for firms with higher levels of family ownership. Finally the ratio of independent directors on the board is negatively associated with dividends. Practical implications: The findings imply that firms with substantial family ownership and active family participation in management are more likely to send a negative signal to minority shareholders by paying lower dividends. In addition minority shareholders should pay attention to the board structure of firms in which they invest. Originality/value: This study is one of the few to analyze the nonlinear relationship between family ownership and dividend payments as well as the role of family management in a developing country. Second it investigates the role of board characteristics in explaining dividend payment decisions. © 2019 Emerald Publishing Limited.
