The Role of Governance on Outward Foreign Direct Investment in Emerging Market Economies Gök, Adem Emerging market economies have clear deficit in governance infrastructure and also have an increasing trend in the amount of foreign direct investment (FDI) outflows compared with advanced countries. Hence the main issue of the study is to identify the determinants leading to the increase in FDI outflows with special emphasize given to the role of governance infrastructure. Thus, the aim of the study is to analyze the effect of governance infrastructure together with other control variables on FDI outflows in emerging market economies. It is found that improvement in all measured aspects of governance infrastructure leads to increase in FDI outflows from emerging market economies and governance infrastructure, human capital and physical infrastructure are base factors for MNCs taking outward FDI decision from emerging market economies. It is also found that FDI outflows from emerging market economies are not market or efficiency seeking; instead they are resource, labor or finance seeking.

The Determinants of Foreign Direct Investment Outflows from Turkey Cergibozan, Raif; Demir, Caner The aim of this study is to specify the determinants of the outward Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) flows from Turkey. For this purpose, the ARDL Bounds Test is used in order to observe the possible relation between these flows and define potential factors that might have an effect on them. The evidences of the empirical analysis reveal that the destination countries' market size, the home country's development level, trade openness and wage rate are positively related to outward FDI while the home country's interest rate shows a negative relationship. Turkey's outward FDI is significantly determined by the opportunities of the foreign markets as well as the outstanding home country factors.

A Fuzzy Rule Based Approach to Geographic Classification of Virgin Olive Oil Using T-Operators Kantarcı Savaş, Suzan; Nasibov, Efendi Olive oil is an important agricultural food product. Especially, protected designation of origin (PDO) and protected geographic indications (PGI) are useful to protect the intellectual property rights of the consumers and producers. For this reason, the importance of the geographic classification increases to trace geographical indications. This chapter suggests a geographical classification system for the virgin olive oils. This system is formed on chemical parameters. These parameters include fuzziness. Novel proposed system constructs the rules by using fuzzy decision tree algorithm. It produces rules over fuzzy ID3 algorithm. It uses fuzzy entropy on the fuzzified data. The reasoning procedure depends on weighted rule-based system and is adapted into the fuzzy reasoning handled with different T-operators. Fuzzification is performed with fuzzy c-means algorithm for the olive oil data set. The cluster numbers of each variable are selected based on partition coefficient validity criteria. The model is examined by using different decision tree approaches (C4.5 and standard version fuzzy ID3 algorithm) and FID3 reasoning method with eight different T-operators. Also, the conclusions are supported by statistical analysis. Experimental results support that the weights have important manner on fuzzy reasoning method for the geographic classification system.

Addressing the Challenge of Food Security in Turkey İba Gürsoy, Sezin Over the next few decades the world faces an historic challenge with the nexus of food security, economic development, and global environmental change. The challenge of the coming years is to produce enough food to meet the needs of nine billion people while also preserving and enhancing natural resources for future generations. Going forward, agriculture will need to adapt to a changing climate in order to ensure adequate food production. Concerns regarding the additional challenges that come with meeting food security have distinctly risen on political and policy agendas in recent years. This chapter focuses on the ability and capacity of the food supply system in Turkey to provide its national food security in the face of growing challenges in production, resource supply and self-sufficiency. Although Turkey is a net food exporting country, it is anticipated that domestic food insecurity will rise in the coming decades. Through discussing the threats posed by the changing demographic structure, refugee crises, climate change, increasing land and water scarcities for food production and food price volatility, this chapter tries to uncover the concerns about ensuring food security in Turkey.
