Full-Length Effects of the Circular Economy, Environmental Policy, Energy Transition, and Geopolitical Risk on Sustainable Electricity Generation
(Elsevier Sci Ltd, 2023) Chishti, Muhammad Zubair; Dogan, Eyup; Zaman, Umer; 0000-0003-0476-5177; AGÜ, Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, Ekonomi Bölümü; Dogan, Eyup; 01. Abdullah Gül University; 03.02. Ekonomi; 03. Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi
The recent global paradigm shift toward sustainable green development necessitates revealing the likely green determinants of sustainable electricity generation in order to derive key policy recommendations for dealing with the global energy crisis. As a result, the current study focuses on the drivers of global electricity generation (EG) and identifies environmental policy (EP), energy transition (ET), geopolitical risk (GPR), and circular economy (CE) as novel determinants. The study employs a battery of advanced econometric techniques, including quantile VAR, quantile slope estimate, and wavelet-based correlation methods, for empirical analysis. The quantile VAR -based connectedness confirms the modeled series' significant interconnectedness. Furthermore, the findings suggest that CE plays an important role in promoting the global EG process, as evidenced by positive effects across quantiles. When the effects of ET and EP are considered, a positive relationship between ET, EP, and EG is discovered, implying that ET and EP are important drivers of electricity generation. Furthermore, GPR has significant and negative effects on EG across most quantiles, indicating that the EG process suffers a significant loss as a result of GPR. Furthermore, the wavelet-based correlation method confirms the significant association between selected series, supporting the preceding findings. In order to achieve sustainable electricity generation, several results-based policies are proposed for local and global authorities.

Is Leverage a Substitute or Outcome for Governance? Evidence From Financial Crises
(Emerald Group Publishing Ltd, 2021) Tekin, Hasan; Polat, Ali Yavuz; 0000-0001-5647-5310; AGÜ, Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, Ekonomi Bölümü; Polat, Ali Yavuz; 01. Abdullah Gül University
Purpose The authors investigate the impact of governance on the leverage of East Asian firms in the financial crisis context, in order to understand the puzzle whether debt acts as a substitute for governance or an outcome of the governance mechanism. Design/methodology/approach The authors use 86,030 firm-years and the country-level governance data from eight East Asian countries over the period 1996-2017. The authors employ the fixed effects (FE) model, in the main analysis and the weighted least squares model, as a robustness check in order to compare the two competing hypotheses of agency theory, substitute and outcome models. Findings The authors' results show that debt acts as a substitute for governance before the GFC, but during and after the GFC the picture changes. Namely, debt acts as an outcome of the governance mechanism during the GFC and its aftermath. Since during financial downturns both agency costs increase, and information asymmetry widens, firms in poor-governed countries may be reluctant to increase their leverage in order not to face financial distress and additional restrictions. Thus, the results imply that the use of debt as a tool to mitigate agency conflicts and a substitute for governance strongly depends on the environment that the firms operate and the general macroeconomic conditions, such as facing a financial crisis or not. Research limitations/implications This study provides an interesting case of the firms' capacity to raise money during a crisis and that governance plays an important role in borrowing activities of firms. This will undoubtedly help motivating owners and policymakers for improving governance. The authors' findings may be useful for policymakers to develop policies considering the adverse effects caused by exogenous shocks. This is crucial because the severity of GFC as a shock seems to change the macro and institutional environment that firms operate. While the authors properly address the research hypotheses using country governance data, future research may employ corporate governance data to attain firm-level results by testing two competing hypotheses. Originality/value There are several important areas where this study makes original contributions. First, while Tsoy and Heshmati (2019) focus on the dynamics of capital structure for only Korean firms, the authors extend the sample including eight East Asian countries considering the impact of country governance on capital structure policy. Specifically, this study is the first in using the robust country governance data, which differs by country and year, in the crisis context. Next, the authors investigate both the AFC and GFC to compare whether these two crises have different effects on capital structure policy of East Asian firms. Finally, the authors aim to understand whether leverage is used as a substitute for governance or an outcome of governance mechanism considering recessions.

Personalization in Marketing: How Do People Perceive Personalization Practices in the Business World
(California State Univ, 2023) Aksoy, Nilsah Cavdar; Kabadayi, Ebru Tumer; Yilmaz, Cengiz; Alan, Alev Kocak; AGÜ, Yönetim Bilimleri Fakültesi, İşletme Bölümü; Yilmaz, Cengiz; 01. Abdullah Gül University; 10. Rektörlük
With emerging digital technologies, personalization has become a key activity for marketing strategy to gain competitive success in customer relationships. The aim of this study is to develop and empirically assess a general measurement model of perceived personalization. Multiple data gathering processes and rigorous empirical testing procedures are employed to assess and validate the proposed measurement model. The perceived personalization scale developed in the study rests on the focus of what is personalized and includes three main categories: (1) individuallevel, (2) social-level, and (3) situation-based personalization. A multidimensional measure of personalization is developed based on these categories and is validated via several tests, including a test of nomological validity exploring the effects of perceived personalization on critical customer responses such as positive emotions, negative emotions, perceived sincerity, satisfaction, and behavioral intentions. These findings shed light on and open new avenues of development for this growing practice for both researchers and practitioners in marketing.
