Evaluation Of The Relationship Between Foreign Trade Liberalization And Unemployment Within The Framework Of The Heterogeneous Firm Model;
(Sosyoekonomi Soc, 2022) Cirkin, Zeynep; Goksel, Turkmen
This study investigates how foreign trade liberalization affects unemployment by using the Melitz model (2003), which is one of the intra-industry trade models expressing trade between countries with similar technologies, preferences, and cost structures that make up a large part of international trade. The Melitz model (2003) is remodelled by efficiency wage theory to endogenize unemployment. The model is solved by numerical method. It is assumed that market expansion and competition in the market occur simultaneously. The effect of liberalization on unemployment varies depending on which of two factors, market expansion or competition, dominates the other. According to the results, unemployment decreases when market expansion dominates the competition, while unemployment increases if competition dominates market expansion. In addition, it has been observed that there is an increase in the total amount of production, productivity, and unemployment insurance when market expansion is dominant. Also, it has been observed that there is a decrease in the total amount of production, productivity level, and unemployment insurance when competition in the market is dominant.

Career Aspirations of Refugee Women in Turkey Within the Context of Higher Education
(Palgrave Macmillan Ltd, 2024) Cuhadar, Pinar; Cirkin, Zeynep; Sakiz, Halis
Access to higher education for refugees remains a focal point in discussions concerning human rights. In the aftermath of the Syrian civil war, T & uuml;rkiye has become a significant host country for forcibly displaced individuals. While the Turkish government has implemented an open-door policy toward refugees, the actual participation of women in higher education and the workforce falls short of anticipated levels. Through the lens of Amartya Sen's Capability Approach (CA), this study delves into the perspectives of Syrian refugee women regarding their experiences with higher education in T & uuml;rkiye and investigates how their educational pursuits shape their career aspirations. Employing a qualitative methodology involving semi-structured interviews, this research examines the viewpoints of 40 women enrolled in a state university in T & uuml;rkiye. The findings underscore the role of higher education in enhancing women's career-related skills, fostering their awareness of rights, and predominantly fostering optimistic outlooks toward future labor market engagement.
