Evidence from BIST Abstract: Knowing of the chaos theory by the economists has caused the understanding of the difficulties of the balance in economy. The applications of the chaos theory related to economy have aimed to overcome these difficulties. Chaotic deterministic models with sensitive dependence on initial conditions provide a powerful tool in understanding the apparently random movements in financial data. The dynamic systems are analyzed by using linear and/or nonlinear methods in the previous studies. Although the linear methods used for stable linear systems, generally fails at the nonlinear analysis, however, they give intuition about the problem. Due to a nonlinear variable in the difference equations describing the dynamic systems, unpredictable dynamics may occur. The chaos theory or nonlinear analysis methods are used to examine such dynamics systems. The chaos that expresses an irregular condition can be characterized by "sensitive dependence on initial conditions". We employ four tests, viz. the BDS test on raw data, the BDS test on pre-filtered data, Correlation Dimension test and the Brock's Residual test. The financial markets considered are the stock market, the foreign exchange market. The results from these tests provide very weak evidence for the presence of chaos in Turkish financial markets. BIST, Exchange Rate and Gold Prices. In this study, the methods for the chaotic analysis of the time series, obtained based on the discrete or continuous measurements of a variable are investigated. The chaotic analysis methods have been applied on the time series of various systems.

Relationship varied according to the countries' level of development is discussed with time series and panel data for OECD countries in the study. Correlation between foreign direct investment and economic growth is estimated with time series and panel simultaneous equations systems. The results vary, although the relationship between foreign direct investment-economic growths for each country, such as all the OECD countries there is positive correlation exists between variables.

Due to the integration of the traditional marketing, general psychology and neurology been released new research field as a "neuromarketing", that related issues are among the most complex and controversial issues facing the modern society. The importance of the research is investigation of consumer behavior in the 21st century, also attempting to create a new conceptual model of consumer behavior using the results of neuromarketing research. The main aim of the research is to use the results of neuromarketing studies to determine consumer preferences and behavior; to reveal the relationship between consumer behavior and neuromarketing. This study applied quantitative methods of data collection therefore questionnaires have been distributed to collect the data. As a result of research was created the multivariate model, which called the "neuromodel", that include neuromarketing factors affecting consumer behavior.

Also socio-economic factors such as income level of women, education level, marital status can cause to this differentiation. For this reason in this study to understand the effect of socioeconomic factors, causality relationship between the fertility rate, per capita income, women's primary school enrollment and dependency ratio has been questioned with Toda ?Yamamato causality test for Turkey for the period of 1990 to 2011. According to the results strong causality relationship was found between fertility rate and per capita income, primary school enrollment, the dependency ratio in the long-term results Journal: Eurasian Business & Economics Journal Pages: 42-49 Volume: 6 Issue: 6 Year: 2016 Month: Feb DOI: 10.17740/eas.econ.2016.V6-04 File-URL: https://eurasianacademy.org/index.php/busecon/article/view/707 File-Format: Application/pdf Handle: RePEc:eas:buseco:v:6:y:2016:i:6:p:42-49 Template-Type: ReDIF-Article 1.0 Author-Name: Ali Özdemir Author-Email: aliozdmr32@gmail.com Author-Workplace-Name: Marmara Üniversitesi Author-Name: Okan Yaşar Author-Email: okanyasar@yahoo.com Author-Workplace-Name: Milli Savunma Bakanlığı Title: The Relationship of Organizational Cynicism, Burnout, And Organizational Commitment: A Study On Middle School Teachers Abstract: The relationship between organizational cynicism and burnout is investigated in this study through teachers? organizational commitment.

Accordingly, in study, the relationship between military expenditures and economic growth is examined with the panel data analysis for 19 G-20 countries. In this study two groups of Panel data models are applied. First panel group is military exporter. Second is military importer. The results of study support that feedback hypothesis exists for the U.S., growth hypothesis is valid for G-20 Countries and Turkey.

Considering their contribution to the economy, it would be reasonable to solve family businesses' problems and to help them to perform their activities efficiently and productively. In order to support them to achieve a corporate structure and a sustainable success, it's very important to use governance systems. Family businesses, which are not able to fall into step with the environmental changes at some transformation points, are facing the risk of failing. Starting from this point, family influence, marketing orientation, and managerial decisions including strategic process, board of directors, human resources and succession, on the business and family performances in the course of resolving the difficulties that family businesses encounter have been analysed using the Structural Equation Modelling (SEM) and the relationships have been determined; some suggestions have been brought forward for sustainable corporate estate according to the results of the survey with 244 family businesses.
