Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :With the last 200 years of industrial and technological revolution, the human species’ innovations (such as production, transportation, communication, urbanization) has deteriorated the ecological balance of our planet. The fossil fuel contamination culture of living and consuming has caused the atmosphere to cross the carbon contamination borders. The unfavorable environment created by the pandemic conditions in 2020, together with the existing problems of the planet on the one hand, and the increase in economic and social inequalities on the other, gave direction to the search for a developed way out. In this context, the “Green New Deal-GND” policies, which have been discussed extensively in the USA, Britain and the EU and have an important place in the field of politics, have been transformed in the first quarter of the 21st century. This is why this work; It aims to examine the Green New Deal planned between 2030 and 2050 in the USA and the EU. |

Evolving Cooperation into Morality: The Relationship between Economics and Morals |
Author : Ezgi Aydogan, Ercan Eren |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :The necessity of addressing economics with morality and other social issues stems from the fact that economics is a result of people’s attitudes and behaviors. As a social entity, human beings make judgments about what is right and wrong in their economic decisions. It needs moral values to make judgments about whether a behavior is right or wrong. Our aim in this study is to explain how cooperation turns into objective morality peculiar to human beings, and then A. Smith and J.M. Keynes to reveal the relationship between economics and morality. |

Indirect-Direct Tax Separation In Tax And Growth Interaction in Turkey |
Author : Mehmet Mert Türk, Salih Barisik |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :In the study, the relationship between indirect and direct taxes and growth in Turkey was
investigated using data from 2006:1-2020: 3 quarters. In econometric analyses, the existence
of a positive and significant relationship between tax components and growth in
both the long and short term was determined. According to the findings, indirect taxes are
more effective on growth without distinction of time. While growth is the cause of indirect
and direct taxes, a bidirectional causal link between indirect taxes and growth has been
determined. The error correction coefficient was statistically significant and showed that
deviations that will occur in the short period will converge in less than a quarter over the
long period. |

Assessment of Precautionary Programs in the Keynesian Liquidity Trap in an Environment of Increasing Economic Uncertainty |
Author : Ömür Saltik, Süleyman Degirmen |
Abstract | Full Text |
Abstract :In the study, during the period of systemic risks evolved into systematic risks, we discussed the monetary
authorities’ “package crisis exit strategies” developed under the international monetary policy
coordination without considering their country’s dynamics. We tackled the policy development and
implication process in the context of Keynes’s (1936)’s liquidity trap, and Hicks (1937)’ assertion
over the ineffectiveness of traditional monetary policy during this liquidity trap. In particular, while
the governments and central banks of developing countries take comprehensive and innovative
steps in formulating fiscal and monetary policy, and bring out a new view called “Developmental
Central Banking” (which simultaneously cares about economic growth, employment, investment,
financial stability and structural transformation), the habits of central banking in some countries
that survived the crisis with relatively slight damage were reversed based on inflation targeting, which
were customary from the Neoliberal period, but kept growth, employment and real economy in
the secondary plan. Considering these developments and the effectiveness of the solution proposals
developed by the Neoclassical and Monetarist paradigms for such chronic problems, the necessity of
New Keynesian precautionary measures have been seemed inevitable. |
