Abstract: | This paper outlines how a 2011 Social Accounting Matrix (SAM) with a rich disaggregation in the energy sectors is constructed for Turkey. The disaggregated SAM incorporates 38 production activities, 9 of which produce energy, 33 commodities, 2 factors of production as labor and capital, three institutional accounts as firms, households, and the government, a separate account for commodity and production taxes, a capital account, and finally the rest of the world (ROW) account. The data is extracted from a diverse range of sources including the Turkish Statistical Institute, Eurostat, OECD, and the International Energy Agency among others. The cross-entropy method has been used to balance both the aggregated and the disaggregated versions of the SAM. The SAM is the core element of the database of the dynamic CGE model currently being developed for Turkey for climate change, energy, and green growth issues. See above See above |

Abstract: | The ECO countries are net exporters of energy. If Azerbaijan, Iran and Kazakhstan are oil exporters, Turkmenistan and Uzbekistan sell natural gas. The arrival on the scene of non-conventional gas, known as shale gas or firedamp – which has long remained unexploited due to cost and technical inaccessibility – should soon revolutionise the various gas and oil markets. And ECO countries are dependent on consumption strategies of their customers. In this paper we propose to make an inventory of the energy situation in the ECO countries and we suggest some ways to facilitate their transition energy and diversify their exports. - Data analysis - ratio calculation of vulnerability When countries seek to diversify their energy suppliers to reduce their vulnerability, exporters must also develop other energy strategies: - diversify energy choices - increase customers - reduce CO2 emissions |

Abstract: | Основной задачей нефтеперерабатывающей промышленности на современном этапе является вовлечение в переработку все более тяжелых нефтяных фракций с повышенным содержанием высококипящих соединений, а также углубление переработки нефти с целью увеличения производства качественных моторных топлив и сырья для нефтехимии. Цель работы исследование процесса гидрокрекинга гудрона смеси Бакинских нефтей в присутствии высокодисперсного наноструктурного суспензированного катализатора под низким давлением для выработки дополнительного количества светлых нефтепродуктов и углубления переработки нефти. Опыты проводились во вращающемся автоклаве (емкостью 1л), при температуре 400 – 4500С, давлении 0.5 – 6 МПа. Полученный гидрогенизат после фильтрации от каталитической добавки и отложившихся на ней коксообразных продуктов, а также металлов Ni, V и Fe, Cu, подвергался разгонке с выделением бензиновой (н.к.-2000С), дизельной (200-3600С) фракций и остатка (>3600C).в результате термокрекинга гудрона с участием водорода (без катализатора) образуется 15% бензиновой и 22% дизельной фракции. При проведении аналогичного процесса в присутствии 1% каолининита, модифицирован ного 5% Ni выход бензиновой фракции возрастает с 15% до 32,8%, дизельной фракции уменьщается с 22% до 19,8%, а выход газов и кокса уменьшается с 18% до 12% и с 13% до 6%, соответственно. |

Abstract: | Corruption undermines economic development and therefore it is one of the major factors hindering economic growth and political stability, especially in the developing countries. Studies in recent years show that countries with rich natural resources have the potential to shape corruption. Several studies have been done about this subject and different factors have been considered that most important are mechanisms for transparency, good management, good governance, human development and the degree of state dependence on oil revenues. This paper examines the factors affecting the level of corruption in 31 oil countries. This study uses GMM method and the period of time is 2000 to 2010 The results indicate that the size of the oil sector, government size, inflation, private sector debt, liquidity and democracy have a direct relationship with the level of corruption in these countries. However, the added value of the agricultural and industrial sectors and human development, relationships are reversed. So that with an increase in these indicators, the level of corruption in these countries has declined. |

Abstract: | In this paper, we investigate business cycle regularities in oil exporting countries. We ask the question whether oil exporting countries are all alike or whether economic fluctuations and the response dynamics of macroeconomic variables are similar. Besides we also test for the possible sources of economic fluctuations and whether the oil is the main culprit behind business cycles in oil exporting countries. In this paper, we use different empirical methodologies to gain insights about the nature of the business cycles in the oil exporting countries. First, we draw on annual data to document stylized facts on economic fluctuations in these economies. Second, we also use principle component analysis and extract principle component of the panel on economic variables of the countries under the study. Third, we invoke to the methodology proposed by Giannone, Lenza and Primiceri (2012) to analyze impulse-response functions of GDP, household consumption, government expenditure, investment and import in 13 oil exporting countries under the study. In this study, we investigate the nature and possible sources of economic fluctuations in oil exporting countries using principle component and impulse-response analysis. The principal component analysis shows that the first two components can be statistically significantly explained by world GDP, but not by oil prices. We further develop our study using impulse-response analysis and find that a global demand shock is as important as oil supply and oil demand shocks in determining the dynamics of macroeconomic variables of interest. Though previous studies in this field underline the importance of institutional factors, we find that rising global political and economic integration can play a critical role in explaining business cycles of these economies. With increasing integration into the world economic system, oil exporting countries have become more susceptible to world business cycles, the sources of economic fluctuations have become more diversified, and consequently, the role of oil has declined over time. These results have crucial policy implications for the role of the fiscal and monetary policy in managing economic fluctuations in these economies. |

Abstract: | Turkey’s business sector dynamism has underpinned broad-based and inclusive growth in the 2000s. However, the business sector is highly segmented, with a relatively small core of modern high-productivity corporations, and myriad small, less formal and low-productivity entities. This hampers efficient resource allocation and tends to entrench social inequalities. It also makes it difficult to build on-the-job human capital for the large number of low-skilled. This segmentation needs to be overcome to raise productivity in the informal, low-skill and low-productivity sector, and to facilitate resource transfers from low to higher productivity businesses. This ought to be achieved by aligning Turkey’s formal regulatory and tax framework with OECD best practice, rather than through “second-best” arrangements where noncompliance with rules co-exists with selective subsidies to parts of the formal sector. Labour market and business taxation reforms are particularly important to enable all categories of enterprises to operate flexibly on a rule-based, level playing field and to achieve productivity enhancing and socially inclusive restructuring. Promouvoir une croissance inclusive en Turquie en favorisant des évolutions structurelles dans le secteur des entreprises Pendant les années 2000, le dynamisme du secteur des entreprises a alimenté une croissance inclusive reposant sur une large assise. Cependant, il s’agit d’un secteur fortement segmenté, où coexistent un noyau relativement restreint d’entreprises modernes, très productives, et une myriade de petites entreprises moins formelles et à faible productivité. Cette dualité empêche une affectation efficiente des ressources et a tendance à figer les inégalités sociales. Elle rend également difficile la constitution de capital humain sur leur lieu de travail pour les nombreuses personnes faiblement qualifiées. Il faut dépasser cette segmentation afin de relever la productivité dans le secteur informel où le niveau de la productivité et des qualifications est bas, et faciliter les transferts de ressources des secteurs à faible productivité vers ceux où elle est plus élevée. Pour ce faire il conviendrait d’aligner le cadre réglementaire et fiscal formel sur les meilleures pratiques de l'OCDE plutôt que de tolérer le non-respect de la réglementation tout en octroyant des subventions sélectives à certains segments du secteur formel. Il est particulièrement important de réformer le marché du travail et le système d’imposition pour permettre à toutes les catégories d’entreprises de travailler de manière flexible, au sein d’un environnement fondé sur le respect de règles applicables à tous, et d’opérer une restructuration propre à favoriser l’amélioration de la productivité et la cohésion sociale. |

Abstract: | Doviz kuru ortuk bir politika araci olarak enflasyon hedeflemesi uygulayan gelismekte olan ulkelerde kullanilmis olabilir mi? Bu makale bu soruyu cevaplamak ve enflasyonun belirleyicilerini incelemek icin ornek olarak Turkiye’nin 2002-2008 arasindaki enflasyon hedeflemesi deneyimini incelemektedir. Makalenin temel bulgulari sunlardir: Birinci olarak, Vektor Autoregressif (VAR) modelinden elde edilen sonuclar gostermektedir ki, bu donemde Turkiye’de enflasyonun temel belirleyicileri talep yanli unsurlar degil uluslararasi meta fiyatlari ve doviz kuru gibi arz yanli unsurlardir. Bu durumda, yerli paranin (TL’nin) bu donemde onemli olcude degerlendigini de dusundugumuzde, Turkiye Cumhuriyeti Merkez Bankasi’nin (TCMB) enflasyonla mucadelesinde liranin degerlenmesinden faydalandigi aciktir (bkz. Sekil 2). Bir baska deyisle, 2002-2008 yillari arasinda Turkiye’de yasanan dezenflasyon sureci onemli olcude doviz kurlarinda yasanan gelismelerle aciklanabilir. Ikincisi, ampirik kanitlar gostermektedir ki, TL’nin degerlenmesi TCMB’nin doviz kuruna yonelik asimetrik politika durusuyla iliskilidir. Hem VAR modeliyle yapilan ekonometrik analize hem de betimleyici istatistiklere gore soz konusu donemde liranin degerlenmesine izin verilmis/desteklenmis buna karsin deger kaybi durumunda saldirgan bir sekilde mudahale edilmistir. Biz enflasyon rejimleri altindaki bu durusu “ortuk asimetrik doviz kuru capasi” olarak tanimliyoruz. |

Abstract: | Главными факторами, определяющими инновационную активность территории, являются ее инновационный потенциал и результативность инновационной деятельности. Все характерные черты инновационного потенциала субъектов можно классифицировать по ряду признаков: внутренние средства и особенности структуры, качественные характеристики, социально-экономические отличия. К структурным особенностям следует отнести целостность, сложность, взаимозаменяемость элементов, их взаимосвязь и взаимодействие. Качественными характеристиками можно считать способность элементов потенциала к восприятию достижения научно- технического прогресса, гибкость мощность потенциала. Социально- экономические отличия заключаются в классовом характере и способности обладать мощностью. Инновационный потенциал может служить как характеристикой самих крупных систем, так и мелких, локальных. Особое значение приобретают научные исследования методов и принципов, регулирующих развитие инновационного потенциала научной деятельности в системе категорий рыночной экономики. Базовыми компонентами анализа становятся инновационные системы, инновационный потенциал, инновационные процессы, инновационные отношения, а также индивидуальная и корпоративная научная деятельность. Инновационный потенциал научной сферы как приоритетная потребность реального развития рыночной экономики является актуальным предметом научного осмысления.Основная цель - получение систематизированных представлений о проблемах и процессах, характеризующих научно-исследовательскую и инновационную деятельность, экономические и социальные аспекты научно-технологического комплекса. факторный анализ и теории нечетких множествВ Азербайджане использование прямых индикаторов затруднено из-за низкой достоверности статистики инновационной деятельности и отсутствия многих показателей в региональном разрезе. Отсюда проблема универсальной системы для определения уровня инновационного потенциала регионов остается актуальной. Основные результаты исследования. Мы предложили основные методики оценки инновационного потенциала. Нами было апробированы данные методики применительно к научно-технологическому комплексу экономических зон. |
