In recent years, cross-border mergers and acquisitions have spurred in the global economy. With the breaking down of barriers around national economies, those economies that used to be centrally-planned and closed in the past have emerged as economies that offer invaluable investment and risk diversification opportunities that investors seek. As a natural result of this change, these economies become major targets for foreign investors. This thesis examines the impact of this foreign investment trend specifically for those bank mergers and acquisitions that take place in emerging economies. The impact of these transactions on the acquirer and target company shareholders and firm performance are analyzed and it is found that neither parties’ shareholders receive a significantly positive benefit in the short-term but there are significant benefits in the long-term. Moreover, while these bank consolidations resulted in improved profitability, efficiency and asset size for the target firms, no significant change is observed in deposit size, market share and capital adequacy of the targets. Similarly, improvement in profitability is evidenced for the acquirers while no major change in leverage risk is observed.

Multiparty game research and example analysis in supply chain finance system based on MPDE theory Liu, Xun; Peng, Xia; Stuart, Martin (Elsevier BV, 2020-8) Under the supply chain financial model, financial institutions (such as commercial banks) no longer supply directly to financing companies, but instead face the entire supply chain. Now this model has become a new area to solve the financing difficulties of SMEs. In the supply chain finance system, each node on the chain can pursue its own best interests. The core nodes (commercial banks, small and medium-sized enterprises, third-party logistics companies) can coor-dinate and monitor their behavior with eac...
RMARS: Robustification of multivariate adaptive regression spline under polyhedral uncertainty Ozmen, Ayse; Weber, Gerhard Wilhelm (Elsevier BV, 2014-03-15) Since, with increased volatility and further uncertainties, financial crises translated a high "noise" within data from financial markets and economies into the related models, recent years' events in the financial world have led to radically untrustworthy representations of the future. Hence, robustification started to attract more attention in finance. The presence of noise and data uncertainty raises critical problems to be dealt with on the theoretical and computational side. For immunizing against para...
Foreign direct investment and technology spillovers in the Turkish manufacturing industry Pamukcu, Mehmet Teoman (IGI Global, 2013-01-01) Technology spillovers from foreign to domestic firms in emerging economies are considered to be the most important channel through which Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) influence the host economy. Empirical evidence about the existence, magnitude and direction of FDI-related spillovers in these countries is contradictory pointingto the necessity of conducting more econometric studies using firm-level data. We conduct an econometric analysis to assess the impact of FDI-related...
Construction cost map of European countries BUDAYAN, Cenk; Dikmen Toker, İrem; Birgönül, Mustafa Talat (Informa UK Limited, 2019-09-23) In the globalized business world, construction companies start to seek new opportunities to invest on an international basis in order to gain profit. Therefore, construction companies have to conduct not only national projects but also international projects to be competitive. However, although these international projects can be profitable, the construction companies face many challenges in the management of these projects due to the country-specific problems and conditions. This can lead to variation in t...
OPPORTUNITIES FOR LINKING GLOBAL VALUE CHAINS RESEARCH TO POLICY-MAKING IN TÜRKİYE: A BIBLIOMETRIC ANALYSIS Güler, Esra; Aydınoğlu, Arsev Umur; Department of Science and Technology Policy Studies (2022-12) With the rise of liberal trade and investment policies and technological advances since the 1990s, the concept of global value chains (GVCs) has gained increasing interest not only from academicians but also from practitioners and policy-makers. The GVC framework helps understand the organization of industries worldwide, and firm and government strategies to create and capture value-added, with specific emphasis on policy to identify upgrading paths for economic and social development. In the last decade, t...
