Nowadays, All Inclusive System is a worldwide application used by accommodation managements to increase the customer satisfaction. In this study, we aimed to determine whether the satisfaction levels of 354 native and foreign tourists who stay in holiday villages of Bodrum applying All Inclusive System vary according to the demographic properties or not. In respect of this, there is a considerable diversity among the native and foreign tourists and also different age groups about suggesting All Inclusive System to their friends.

As a result, it was concluded that the customers’ satisfaction levels for All Inclusive System are generally high.

In this paper, we investigate the determiners of the interest rates that have real and financial effects on and are important for the balance of budget. The determiners of interest rates are classified as internal and external factors. While testing the cointegrated and long run relationship among variables, monthly data that covers 1996-2004 period has been used. Results show that the main factors influencing the interest rates are internal factors as government spending, inflation, and real income. The results also show that USA interest rates as an external factor has no effect on interest rate on Turkey. The basic reason of it is Turkey’s real interest rates are higher than the world interest rate level.

In this paper, it is investigated that whether or not a long-term relation exists between growth rate and unemployment rate. To this end, Johansen (1988) method was used to estimate the cointegration relation between the two variables via six month data covering 1988:2-2006:1 period. As to the consequences acquired, one long-term or equilibrium relation exists between growth rate and unemployment rate. Hsiao (1981)’s Granger causality test (FPE criterion) and Granger causality tests conducted via VECM indicate the existence of only one causality relation from unemployment rate to growth rate.

Organizational identity determines and shapes the behavior of the organization which is composed of the employees’ subjective beliefs about the organization’s characteristics.

In this study which is purposed to give a different point of view to the concept of quality and the rank in the Turkish Higher Education System, departments of economics in forty-two universities have been investigated for the relative value-added created by them to their students. The main factor accounted in establishing the league is the average raw points of the universities in the Selection Examination for Civil Servants (KPSS). The rank made by this study is an indicator for the efficiency of the activities of education provided by the universities. The university league established in this study provides very interesting results. The Universities of Gaziantep and Erciyes are appeared to be the most successful universities for 2004 and 2005 respectively in the rank. However, some of the big and famous universities are appeared to be among the unsuccessful universities which have created relatively negative value-added to their students.
