The co-integration test of the series was performed with the ARDL boundary test approach. As a result of the cointegration test, we find that the series move together in the long run. Findings show that economic growth increases women's labor force participation rate first but then it decreases women's labor force participation rate. Findings indicate that there is a reverse "U" relationship between economic growth and female labor force participation. As a result of the short-term analysis, it is found that error correction coefficient of the model is negative and statistically significant.

This is because FDI provides many advantages to the countries such as capital, employment opportunities, knowledge and technology accumulation, and technical knowledge management. For this reason, countries compete with each other to increase the FDI that is directed towards them. At this point, ?what are the economic elements in which FDI interacts?? is a question that needs to be investigated. This study discussed the relationship between FDI and research and development (R&D) expenditures, which provides information and technology accumulation for economies, in the G7 countries (Canada, France, Germany, Italy, Japan, UK, USA) during the 1981-2014 period. It has been concluded that FDI has a one-way relationship to R&D expenditures in the current study used second generation panel causality analysis. Results indicate that foreign direct investments in developed countries are an effective policy element on R&D expenditures.

Capital flows in the world are accelerating. Capital flows have produced different results in developed and developing countries. Capital flows affect the capital account, financial account and current account in the balance of payments. In our study, Granger causality analysis was done using VAR model for Turkey. For the period 1984-2016, portfolio investments in Turkey are not the reason for the current account deficit but they are found to be the cause of current portfolio investments.

Increasing the prevalence of exchange rates has led to different approaches. The Fisher Effect (Hypothesis) is also the most famous of these approaches.The Fisher effect (Hypothesis) is an approach that reveals a positive relationship between inflation rate and nominal interest rates. In this regard, studies on the Azerbaijani example have not been done before, which demonstrates the importance of this issue. In the study, it was aimed to test the period of 1994-2015 using empirical data related to the Azerbaijani economy as an empirical test whether the Fisher effect is valid or not. In Azerbaijan, the research is divided into three parts in order to reflect the results more accurately, due to the hypothesis that in the year of 2006 the "denomination of manat" would be devalued in the research results because it was devaluation at the same time. Descriptive statistics in terms of numerical summarization of the obtained data, Correlation analysis to determine whether there is a relationship between these variables and to determine the direction and power of the relationship, To determine the relation between these variables and to make estimations and estimations about the subject by using this relation Regression analysis was applied. As a result of the analysis, it is found that the Fisher effect is not valid for the Azerbaijani economy or at any stage of the Azerbaijani economy (after hyperinflation, before or after the change of currency, before or after Devaluation).

It is aimed two compare these two profession keeping team management, communication skill, leadership etc. and may after common properties within and also to show how much the differences in addition to similarities affects the JS and OC. In our research, it is made a comparison between team sports coaches (football, basketball, volleyball) and officer seafarers by defining the relationship between the levels of JS and OC. While Minnesota?s Job Satisfaction Scale?s short form with 20 questions is used for JS levels, Meyer?s and Allen?s Organizational Commitment Survey with 18 questions is used for the level of OC. According to variables, the relationship between the levels of JS and OC is evaluated with SPSS 22.0 program by making inference of frequency analyze of questions in surveys. In research results, it is seem that according to seafarers JS and OC levels of team sports coaches, and also internal satisfaction, emotional and normative commitment levels of team sports coaches are higher.

The main objective of this study is to show the level of women?s participation in economic life and examine the determinants of their participation to labor force in Turkish economy. The data show that women?s participation rate in Turkey has improved gradually. Despite the developments in this regard in recent years, female labor force has been underutilized and failed to go beyond the traditional participation forms. Results of this study indicate that share of unpaid work, educational level, rate of salaried workers, and share of services have significant impact on the women?s participation rate. Further studies in this realm will guide policymakers to increase participation of women in labor force and strengthen the position of women in the labor market.
