How Do Economic Policy Uncertainty and Financial Development Affect Green Innovation? Evidence from G7 and BRIC Countries
(EDITURA ASE, 2025) Düzakın, Hatice; Özekenci, Süreyya Yılmaz
The aim of the study is to reveal the relationship between economic policy uncertainty and green innovation for developed and developing countries. Additionally, the aim is to examine the relationship between financial development and green innovation for developed and developing countries. This study investigates the impact of economic policy uncertainty and financial development on green innovation for G7 and BRIC countries via Panel ARDL method. The time period taken for this study covers the years from 1990-2020. The panel ARDL test results for the G7 countries revealed that over the long term, there was a significant and negative relationship between GI and EPU. In the long-run analysis results in this study for the G7 countries, a significant and positive relationship was found between GI and FD. In earlier research, the relationship between FI and GI has been ignored in favour of investigating the relationship between EPU and GI. Furthermore, the relationship between GI and EPU for both developing and developed countries has not been investigated or compared in earlier studies. Therefore, we created two models in the study and analysed two groups of countries separately to fill the gap in the literature.
Little fingers, big competition: digital game addiction and competition styles of preschool children in the context of collectivist culture
(ROUTLEDGE JOURNALS, TAYLOR & FRANCIS LTD, 2025) Çantaoğlu, Elmas; Kale, Mustafa; Çavusoğlu, Oguzhan
This study investigates the relationship between digital game addiction and competition styles among preschool children aged 4-6 within the collectivist cultural context of T & uuml;rkiye. Data were collected from 337 children (150 girls, 187 boys) using the Computer Addiction Scale for Children and the Preschool Competition Scale with teacher support. The findings showed that children's digital game addiction levels were generally low, with the willingness sub-dimension scoring highest. Competition styles were assessed in three dimensions: other-oriented competition, task-oriented competition, and dominance maintenance hierarchy. Among these, dominance maintenance received the highest scores. A weak but significant relationship emerged between digital game addiction and other-oriented competition. The results indicate that while collectivist culture shapes competition behaviours to preserve harmony and social balance, digital games foster individualistic, self-focused competition. Although digital games may enhance some social skills, they risk weakening cohesion. Strengthening family-child interactions and aligning gaming practices with cultural values are recommended.
ESG Resilience Amid Financial Distress: the Role of Board Gender Diversity in EU Firms
(Prague Univ Economics and Business, 2025) Özekenci, Süreyya Yilmaz; Erbaş, Cansu Ünver; Dsouza, Suzan
Investors often view financial distress, defined as a company's inability to pay its debts on time, as a sign of declining creditworthiness. However, they also consider non-financial data, such as the environmental, social, and governance (ESG) activities of firms, when making decisions. This study investigates the impact of financial distress on ESG scores among European Union (EU) firms, using firm fixed effects (FE) and random effects (RE) models, along with Pooled Ordinary Least Squares (OLS), Common Correlated Effects Mean Group (CCEMG), and Augmented Mean Group (AMG) estimators. The panel data covers the years from 2013 to 2023. To examine the relationship between financial distress and ESG scores, the study employs the board gender diversity variable, which reflects the ratio of female to male representation on a firm's board of directors, as a moderating factor. The Altman Z-score is used as an indicator of financial distress. The findings indicate that firms experiencing higher financial distress tend to have higher ESG scores. However, a higher percentage of women on the board of directors during periods of financial distress appears to mitigate this relationship in ESG scores overall, as well as for individual components. To the best of the authors' knowledge, a high percentage of women on the managerial boards of firms during financial distress has a negative impact on ESG scores across the sampled EU firms. This research adds valuable insights into how financial distress and board gender diversity interact, contributing to the existing literature on the subject.
Identify globalisation, logistics and port trends using bibliometric mapping: WoS and Scopus data from 1996 to 2025
(SPRINGERNATURE, 2025) Avşar, İlker İbrahim; Pelit, İrem
In a globalised trading environment, the role of logistics and ports is becoming increasingly important with the rapid development of international trade. This study makes a unique contribution to the field by addressing the issues of globalisation, logistics and ports (GLP) through bibliometric analysis. The originality of the research lies in its holistic approach to examining GLP issues through scientific mapping. In this respect, the study fills an important gap in the literature by addressing the issues of globalisation, logistics and ports, which have so far been studied separately, in an integrated framework and by highlighting the interactions between these fields. In this context, we searched the Scopus and WoS databases on 11 January 2025 using keywords related to GLP and obtained a dataset of 265 publications covering the period 1996-2025. The analysis shows that the GLP literature is growing and that academic interest in the field continues. It also shows that GLP is often discussed in relation to key economic agendas such as competitiveness, sustainability and efficiency. According to the Country Collaboration Network analysis, China, the United States of America and the United Kingdom are among the most prominent countries in GLP publications, showing that these countries have established a strong collaborative network both among themselves and with other countries. In terms of responsible authors, in addition to these three countries, Spain is also a prominent actor. This situation shows that researchers in these countries have a central and influential position in GLP studies. Moreover, the study systematically documents the links between key GLP issues and offers a comprehensive analysis of the literature. The findings are of strategic importance not only to the academic community but also to policy makers and industry stakeholders.
NATO's Quest for Ontological Security: Securitizing Russia in the Arctic
(ULUSLARARASI ILISKILER KONSEYI DERNEGI, 2025) Şahin, Sevgi Balkan; Çetiner, Özge
The article examines how NATO has strategically and symbolically addressed disruptions to its ontological security due to Russia's military build-up in the Arctic and its aggressions in Ukraine. Based on an engagement between ontological security and securitization perspectives, the article argues that NATO's intentional and unconscious securitization acts towards Russia have addressed its material threats and ontological anxieties. Demonstrating the intersection of the material and psychological aspects of securitization, it highlights how NATO has engaged in a security-oriented role in the Arctic and constructed Russia as an abject/other to reaffirm its "self" as a united, reliable, and values-driven collective defense alliance. This dual approach has reflected NATO's reflexivity in balancing strategic and ontological needs to respond to evolving security dynamics. Analyzing NATO's Summit Declarations, Strategic Concepts, and press releases on the Arctic and Russia, coupled with interviews with NATO officials, the article reveals three major themes the Alliance has used to securitize Russia as a threat: to the "Euro-Atlantic stability", "the Arctic peace", and "international law and values".
