Corruption and innovation: the importance of competition
(Emerald Group Holdings Ltd., 2022) Fatma Nur Karaman Kabadurmuş; Kevin Sylwester; Karaman Kabadurmus, Fatma Nur; Sylwester, Kevin; Kabadurmus, Fatma Nur Karaman
Purpose: The purpose of this study is to examine how corruption affects the prevalence of product and process innovation by firms. Design/methodology/approach: This study uses firm-level data from the 2012–2016 Business Environment Enterprise Performance Surveys and utilizes a conditional mixed process model to address endogeneity concerns taking bribery as a measure of corruption. Findings: The study shows that measures of bribery are positively and robustly associated with innovation but mainly for firms reporting many competitors. The results are stronger for firms reporting more obstacles. Both findings support the inference that bribes facilitate innovation by allowing firms to evade regulatory obstacles. Originality/value: The current research on corruption's effect on innovation restricts the association to be uniform across the sample but this study shows that the impact depends on the degree of competition faced by a firm. In addition the data used in this study cover 30 economies in Eastern Europe and Central Asia and thus contributes to determining the effects of anticorruption practices in emerging countries. © 2022 Elsevier B.V.

Innovation Challenges in South Asia: Evidence from Bangladesh Pakistan and India
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS INDIA PVT LTD, 2021) Fatma Nur Karaman Kabadurmus; Kabadurmus, Fatma Nur Karaman
In literature the implications of resource constraints for innovation outcomes are conflicting. A broad body of empirical research focuses on the negative impacts of such constraints most of which use data from advanced economies. However recently some scholars argue that in emerging economies innovation occurs in spite of and even because of the poor investment environment. Using firm-level data from South Asia which provides a good natural example for such poor investment environment and where innovation tigers like India continue to thrive we investigate whether internal barriers such as lack of human capital and financial capital are indeed barriers for firms in the region. Our findings for India provide empirical support for the literature on resource-constrained innovation while results for Pakistan support earlier contributions within the conventional innovation literature. For Bangladesh however neither human nor financial resources but firm-characteristics such as size and foreign ownership promote innovation more. Findings are validated across sub-samples of small and medium-sized enterprises and non-exporters which are more likely to face such constraints.
National innovation systems: Comparison of Turkey and South Korea
(IGI Global, 2020) Fatma Nur Karaman Kabadurmuş; Ceyda Senses; Buse Turkyilmaz; Turkyilmaz, Buse; Senses, Ceyda; Kabadurmus, Fatma Nur Karaman
Since innovation is central to the success of firms in the 21st century policymakers in many countries try to achieve sustained competitive advantage by promoting technological innovations. However achieving this goal requires coordination of all actors in the economy including governments industries and national institutions. Although each individual actor has unique capabilities and strategic resources how well the economy performs depends on the strengths of the network as a whole. National Innovation Systems (NIS) approach considers all these interdependent actors within a country to increase national competitiveness. A good example in this regard is South Korea an innovation leader which could be a role model for developing countries with its well-established NIS. This chapter studies the elements of the NIS of this country and compares them with that of an emerging economy Turkey by using data from the Global Innovation Index and the Global Competitiveness Index. The analysis reveals the strengths and weaknesses of Turkey and helps to draw concrete policy conclusions. © 2022 Elsevier B.V. All rights reserved.

The Impact of Socioeconomic Factors on the HIV-Related Stigma of People Living With HIV in Turkey
(SAGE PUBLICATIONS INC, 2025) Hulya Ozkan Ozdemir; Fatma Nur Karaman Kabadurmus; Durmus Ozdemir; Özdemir, Hülya Özkan; Karaman Kabadurmuş, Fatma Nur; Özdemir, Durmuş; Kabadurmus, Fatma Nur Karaman
This study includes clinical cohort data on 202 People Living with HIV/AIDS (PLWHA) in Izmir Turkey. Study is conducted at the Izmir Bozyaka Education and Training Hospital Department of Infectious Diseases and Clinical Microbiology and analyzes the impact of demographic socio-economic and clinical factors of HIV stigma which includes three dimensions of stigma: internalized anticipated and enacted. This paper uses clinic data recorded by patients and healthcare professionals of the outpatient clinic. In order to obtain socio-economic measures patients were interviewed face-to-face. We employ a logistics regression model that aligns with our binary stigma variables. Robustness checks include Ordinary Least Squares and Ordered Logistics models. Our results show that age and marital status are the 2 important demographic factors that affect stigmatized attitudes. Divorced PLWHA have a higher degree of both internalized and anticipated stigma. We find that educated people have a lower degree of internalized stigma. In addition a higher-income level is found to be inversely associated with enacted stigma. Our results also reveal that LGBTs drug users and people who have chronic illnesses have experienced higher stigma levels. This paper explores the complex ways socioeconomic factors contribute to stigma in the Turkish context addressing a significant gap in the literature since the cultural and social dynamics of stigma in Turkey are frequently overlooked. Recognizing the protective influence of education and income policies such as integrating HIV education into school curricula and offering financial assistance to PLWHA especially those from low-income backgrounds can help reduce stigma.
