    Determinants of Corporate Cash Holdings: Firm Level Evidence From Emerging Markets
    (Springer, 2017) Akben Selçuk, Elif; Altiok-Yilmaz, Ayse
    The objective of this chapter is to investigate the factors affecting corporate cash holdings in five emerging markets namely Brazil Indonesia Mexico Russia and Turkey. The sample consists of 1991 firms listed on the major stock exchange of their countries and covers the period between 2009 and 2015. The model is estimated by Arellano–Bond dynamic generalized method of moments. Results show that firms which use higher leverage in their capital structure hold more cash. More profitable firms are shown to have higher levels of cash holdings. Another variable which has a positive effect on the level of cash holdings in any given period is the level of cash holdings in the previous period as shown by the positive and significant coefficient of the lagged dependent variable in the model. Liquidity and firm size have a negative and statistically significant impact on the level of corporate cash holdings. Firms with higher level of capital expenditures are also shown to hold less cash. Finally growth opportunities do not have a significant impact on the level of cash holdings for the firms in the emerging markets analyzed. © Springer International Publishing AG 2017.

    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.

    Türkiye'de Bireysel Emeklilik Sistemine Katılım Kararını Etkileyen Faktörler
    (2017) Selçuk, Elif Akben; Aydın, Aslı Elif
    Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye'de bireysel emeklilik sistemine giriş ve otomatik katılımdan cayma kararını etkileyen faktörleri ortaya koymaktır. 130 kişiden kolayda örnekleme ile elde edilen verinin lojistik regresyon yöntemiyle analiz edilmesi sonucu şu bulgulara ulaşılmıştır: Öncelikle, yaş ve gelir düzeyi arttıkça bir bireysel emeklilik planına dahil olma ihtmali artmaktadır. Şimdiki zaman odaklı olan bireylerin bir bireysel emeklilik planına dahil olma ihtimali daha düşük bulunmuştur. Ayrıca, iç kontrol odağına sahip kişilerin bireysel emeklilik planına dahil olma ihtimalleri daha yülsek bulunmuştur. Son olarak, kaçınmacı odak ve bireysel emeklilk sistemine dahil olma ihtimali arasında pozitif ve anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu görülmektedir. Otomatik katılımlı sistemde kalma ihtimalini tahmin eden lojistik regresyon modelinde ise sadece iki değişken anlamlı sonuç vermiştir. Şimdiki zaman odaklı bireylerin cayma ihtimalinin daha yüksek olduğu görülmektedir. Ayrıca hali hazırda isteğe bağlı bir bireysel emeklilik planı sahibi olan bireylerin sistemde kalma ihtimali diğerlerine göre 2.9 kat daha fazla bulunmuştur.

    Factors Affecting Firm Competitiveness: Evidence From an Emerging Market
    (MDPI, 2016) Akben Selçuk, Elif
    The objective of this study is to investigate the factors affecting firm competitiveness in an emerging marketTurkey. In the paper competitiveness is proxied by a firm's financial performance. The empirical analysis is based on firms listed on Borsa Istanbul and covers the period between 2005 and 2014. Results from a firm-level panel data model indicate that return on assets is positively related to firm size international sales liquidity and growth and negatively related to leverage and R&D expenditures. On the other hand gross profit margin is positively related to size and international sales and negatively related to leverage and R&D expenditures. Finally results show that Tobin's Q ratio is higher for firms with higher levels of debt and higher liquidity levels.

    Corporate Diversification, Grup Affiliation and Firm Value: Evidence From Turkey
    (Bankacılık Düzenleme ve Denetleme Kurumu, 2014) Akben Selçuk, Elif; Selçuk, Elif Akben
    The objective of this study is to investigate the impact of corporate diversification in a sample of 255 Turkish firms for the period between 2006 and 2012. Regression results indicate that diversified firms trade at a premium compared to single-segment firms. To explain this finding, we also investigate the possible moderating role of business group affiliation for the diversification-value relationship. Analysis results reveal that the diversification premium is confined to firms that are not affiliated with business groups. These results suggest that group members already capture the benefits of diversification without the need to diversify further at the firm level.

    Corporate Social Responsibility and Financial Performance: The Moderating Role of Ownership Concentration in Turkey
    (Mdpi, 2019) Akben-Selcuk, 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.

    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.
