    An analysis of factors affecting the market value of airline companies: An application in Borsa, Istanbul

    Soydas, Safak Sonmez; Cam, Alper Veli

    The market value of firms is mainly affected by financial factors. Financial factors such as sales, profitability, changes in equity, debt structure, competitiveness, interest rates, and inflation affect the market value of firms positively or negatively. Additionally, even if the financial data of firms are investable, some nonfinancial factors can significantly affect the market value of firms. Many nonfinancial factors, such as political and social events, natural disasters, technological developments, government policies, investor confidence or distrust (behavioral finance), managerial changes, sectoral developments, and social media, can change the market value of firms by having a greater impact on their stock prices. Determining the level and timing of the impact of these financial or nonfinancial factors will help institutional or individual investors in their investment decisions. The primary objective of this study is to identify the financial and nonfinancial factors affecting the market value of firms operating in the aviation sector. In this context, the factors affecting the market value of the firms were analyzed using the fundamental analysis data of three firms whose stocks are traded in Borsa Istanbul, one of the emerging markets. In the study, abnormal declines in stock prices of these firms were identified, and the importance levels of the factors that caused them were tried to be revealed. In this direction, a fundamental analysis was performed using financial data obtained from the financial statements of airline companies from the years 2014-2023. The events in the world and Turkey during the relevant periods that affected the capital markets were analyzed and compared. The results of the study are important for both domestic and foreign investors who will invest based on the market value of companies operating in the aviation sector.

    Climate Change and Urban Poverty Solutions to Prevent Poverty

    Cengiz, Emre

    Cities are at the centre of economic, social and political life. As a result, cities are constantly growing and their populations are rapidly increasing. As is well known, references are made to the industrial revolution when defining today's cities. With the industrial revolution, cities have become major centres for rural-to-urban migration. With this wave of migration, the construction of informal structures in cities and the struggle for survival of new urban poor in these settlements can be observed. This process is continually observable in developed, developing and underdeveloped countries at different times and to varying degrees. As a result of cities themselves becoming commodified in a world continually impacted by climate change, the urban poor’s struggle to survive has been intensified by factors such as increasing rent prices, reduced access to basic services, diminishing access to food and clean water, and settlement instability.

    Ensuring Circularity through Outsourcing Decisions in Solar Photovoltaic Supply Chains

    Erol, Ismail; Peker, Iskender; Benli, Tolga; Ar, Ilker Murat

    Because solar photovoltaic (SPv) panels have seen such significant cost reductions in recent years, it has proven to be by far the most dynamic forms of renewable power generation. However, the transition from linear to circular is also crucial for building sustainability in SPv supply chains. The circular economy (CE) is appealing in part because of its ability to bring economic and environmental development objectives together to ensure sustainable production and consumption. To aid in the shift to a more circular economy, several circular-based strategies for various functions such as procurement can be developed. In this study, critical success factors (CSFs) to ensure circular outsourcing structure in SPv supply chains are identified and scrutinized. To achieve this, a multi-criteria-based methodology is proposed. The findings of this study argue that understanding the actual implications of not converting to circular outsourcing (C12) is the most significant cause CSF. This study also provides several implications.

    Applying RATMI (Ranking by Alternatives Trace to Median Index) for Ranking Countries Based on Sustainability Performance

    Simsek, Ahmet Bahadir; Simsek, Aybala

    Today, global problems such as climate change, resource depletion and social inequality motivate the need for tools that can be used to measure the sustainability performance of countries. In this section, a new MCDM approach, RATMI (Ranking by Alternatives Trace to Median Index), is proposed with this motivation. RATMI uses trace and median similarity techniques to provide a balanced and accurate ranking as the median minimises the effect of outliers. In this chapter, the RATMI method is used to assess the sustainability performance of 157 countries for the period 2016-2020 on the basis of economic, social and environmental dimensions. The contributions of this study include the potential to promote RATMI as an effective tool for sustainability assessment of countries, identify role models, and inform policymakers on the development of sustainability strategies at the global level. This practice not only advances the literature on MCDM in sustainability assessments, but also provides a practical framework to guide future policy and research aimed at promoting sustainable development.

    Determination of Criteria for Selection of Candidate Sites for Temporary Debris Storage

    Aktaş, Esra; Atmaca, Ediz

    Disasters are difficult-to-control situations that have a profound impact on human life and result in significant material and moral losses. Disasters occur suddenly and frequently without warning, resulting in increased losses both during and after the situation. By making plans and taking the necessary precautions, natural and human hazards can be mitigated or avoided. Disaster management plans are being prepared all over the world, including various actions for disaster preparedness, disaster response and post-disaster. The importance and necessity of disaster management plans cannot be ignored in Türkiye, which has frequently encountered disasters from past to present and suffered great loss of life and property. Disaster management is the process by which society, all organizations, and resources work together to reduce or prevent harm before, during, and after a disaster. In this context, the study aimed to determine the criteria required for the selection of candidate areas for temporary debris storage sites, which are very important after the disaster. The importance weights of the criteria obtained through literature research were determined by soliciting expert opinions via the Analytic Hierarchy Process (AHP) method, which is one of the multi-criteria decision-making methods. The criteria with the highest importance weight are listed.

    Carbon Pricing in the Fight Against Climate Change: The Impact of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism on Public Revenues and Revenue Redistribution

    Uğur, Candan Yilmaz

    This study focuses on the fiscal aspect of the Carbon Border Adjustment Mechanism (CBAM) introduced by the European Union (EU) and aims to examine the use of revenues from the mechanism for developed and developing countries. The CBAM aims to prevent carbon leakage and promote environmental sustainability through carbon pricing, while at the same time generating significant public revenue for the EU. The envisaged use of these revenues in strategic areas such as green transformation, sustainable infrastructure projects and similar is an important step in contributing to the EU's environmental goals. However, given the risk that underdeveloped and developing countries are disproportionately affected by CBAM, the need for effective use of these revenues in these countries becomes even more evident. In this context, the effective use of CBAM revenues in less developed and developing countries is considered as an important tool to support not only environmental sustainability but also the economic and social transformation processes of these countries.

    Seismological Aspects of Doublet Earthquakes Mw 7.8, and Mw 7.6, 6th February 2023, Türkiye/Syria Earthquake and Its Aftershocks: Causes and Consequences

    Polat, Orhan; Ozer, Caglar; Ozturk, Serkan

    Two devastating earthquakes occurred on the Eastern Anatolian Fault Zone (EAFZ), measuring 7.8 and 7.6 moment magnitudes (Mw), struck Türkiye and Syria on February 6, 2023. The first earthquake Mw7.8 took place on the EAFZ in Pazarcik district of Kahramanmaras city and the second earthquake (Mw7.6) was on Cardak Fault (CF, an E-W aligned segment of the EAFZ) in Elbistan district of the same city. The first earthquake on EAFZ and the second earthquake on CF reveal dominant sinistral strike-slip character according to focal mechanisms solutions of aftershocks (e.g., Mw = 6.8, Mw = 6.4). Total number of aftershocks exceeds 58,000 as of November 2023. Destructive earthquakes have resulted significant impact on 11 cities in Türkiye and 5 provinces in Syria. Doublet earthquakes (compound earthquake) and aftershocks have caused remarkable surface rupture that exhibit horizontal and vertical slips along NE-SW oriented EAFZ (400 × 40 km2) and E-W aligned CF (250 × 40 km2). Based on the seismicity analysis, 88% (45 events over 51 of the aftershocks with magnitudes greater or equal to 5.0 occurred within the first three days following the Mw = 7.8 mainshock. The state of stress from 1977 to the Kahramanmaras doublet earthquakes (DEQ), was almost shear stress regime whereas it reveals between extension (normal) to strike-slip regime. The CF zone area exhibits a dominant shear stress regime. The Kahramanmaras earthquake has generated remarkable set of surface ruptures about ~ 500 km, in total (~ 350 km long for EAFZ and ~ 150 km for CF) with a dominant sinistral strike-slip character. These ruptures could be observed mainly from the south of Hatay city up to north of Celikhan district along the EAFZ, and between Goksun district and Kelhalil village along the CF. Seismic gaps with low geodetic strain rates and low background seismicity were observed between Islahiye (Hatay city) and Nurdagi (Gaziantep city) districts, and around Pazarcik district (Kahramanmaras city). The largest peak ground acceleration (PGA) was recorded by Pazarcik station (Code: 4614) with about 2 g (2039 gal) in the EW component. The next target location for destructive earthquake could be on the Cyprus arc towards Island with the potential to cause a tsunami, or could occur along the DSF by affecting Syria and Lebanon. The EAFZ is an important reminder that large faults can generate very large earthquakes on multiple segments as Türkiye and Syria have experienced during and after the Mw = 7.8 mainshock.

    Sentiment analysis of twitter data for US airlines' finance

    Cam, Handan; Demirel, Ugur

    The airline industry significantly promotes cultural, social, and financial globalization by facilitating connections between nations and individuals. Airline finance encompasses the intricate aspects of managing the economic, operational, and strategic elements of airline corporations on a global scale. In this industry, it is necessary to address various factors, including revenue management, risk management, cost control, and market competition. The interaction of these factors in the global aviation sector influences the financial situation of airlines, requiring strategic planning, flexibility, and a complete understanding of market dynamics. Sentiment analysis in aviation finance uses text and data mining techniques to examine emotional elements derived from social networks, consumer feedback, and news. This facilitates understanding consumer preferences, new trends, investment opportunities, risks, and marketing strategies. Sentiment analysis also helps manage brand reputation by monitoring sentiments expressed by passengers and the general public, allowing proactive measures to maintain a positive reputation. Airline companies rely on conventional customer feedback forms, which can be extremely laborious and timeconsuming. Twitter data is valuable for collecting consumer feedback tweets and conducting sentiment analysis. In this paper, we work on a dataset comprising tweets from the top major US airlines and perform a sentiment analysis in airline finance that can be used more efficiently and effectively in decision-making processes. This would allow airlines to adopt a more knowledgeable, targeted, and competitive strategy by understanding and assessing emotional context.
