Özbek, Oguz
This thesis aims at analyzing the spatial processes of money within an institutional framework. Theoretical framework is based on the analysis of four areas: money, power, space and technology. The study deals with the Turkish case on two grounds: geography of money and geography of banking. The components of the study in the Turkish case are banking, banking areas by provinces and regions, branch networks, economic policy, new financial technology and institutional system in particular. This study attempts to answer the question of how the institutional and technological developments in banking have contributed to the processes of financial exclusion, financial concentration and homogenization of financial space in Turkey. To define these processes, a broader spatial analysis on branch banking by the stages of banking development in Turkey and its detailed analysis by a number of geographical-financial variables (branch network, population, bank credits and deposits) in the last decade are made.

An analysis of the diffusion of structures and practices in a high-level bureaucratic organization in Turkey by using "new institutional theory"
Sert, Semih; Şimşek, Hasan; Department of Educational Sciences (2008)
This study analyzes the process of the diffusion of structures and practices in an organizational setting using the theory of new institutionalism as the theoretical basis. The explanation of the diffusion process has been subject to major variations due to epistemological and ontological reasons. Former theories of organizational reality looked at organizations as their sole units of analyses and accounted for the diffusion process accordingly; however, today, it is widely observed and accepted that organi...
A Stress testing framework for the Turkish banking sector: an augmented approach
Çakmak, Bahadır; Öcal, Nadir; Department of Economics (2014)
This thesis proposes a suite of models, which are a set of independent but complementary models, for conducting a macro stress test of credit risk for the Turkish banking sector. First model links financial stability to macroeconomic stability and estimates the relationship between macroeconomic variables and macrofinancial variables within a VAR framework. Second model employs static and dynamic panel data techniques to regress nonperforming loans to these macroeconomic and macrofinancial variables. With a...
The Transformation in habitus in an exchangee village in the black sea region of Turkey
Karakılıç Dağdelen, İlhan Zeynep; Rittersberger Tılıç, Helga İda; Department of Sociology (2015)
This dissertation aims to construct theoretical and conceptual framework to describe and explain the dynamics of the exchangee habitus and the interrelatedness of the exchangee habitus, the social memory of the population exchange and identification processes of the exchangees. These multidirectional relations among the concepts of habitus, social memory and identification processes constitute the main theoretical framework and the conceptualization of these relations is examined by introducing the exchange...
A critical evaluation of governance in the framework of rural development in Turkey
Kovancı Shehrin, Petek; Adalı, Orhan; Department of City and Regional Planning (2005)
This thesis attempts to construct a cross-section of governance with a critical viewpoint and an interdisciplinary approach, with a focus to planning. Governance is discussed by underlining the diversity of the underlying processes in social sciences, regarding various recent and important aspects of theoretical and conceptual discussions and subsequently rendering them measurable within the framework of the planning agenda. This thesis constitutes an effort in planning whereby the common denominator focuse...
Analyzing the profit efficiency of the Turkish banking sector after the BRSA restructuring program in 2001: an empirical study using stochastic frontier approach between the years of 2002-2009
Hatunoğlu, Hande; Akbostancı Özkazanç, Elif; Department of Economics (2012)
This thesis analyzes the profit efficiency of the Turkish banking sector after the restructuring program by using Stochastic Frontier Approach. 28 banks are included in the analysis and the data belongs to the period 2002-2009. Profit efficiency scores of 28 banks are estimated by SFA. When the efficiency scores are analyzed according to the ownership status, profit efficiency scores of the state owned banks are found higher than other bank groups. Moreover, according to the asset size, large scale banks’ p...
