In Turkey, Special Consumption Tax (SCT) and Value Added Tax (VAT) are mainly based on fuel products. When Turkey is compared to the OECD countries, the taxes on fuel products are ranked the 7th highest after Israel, the Netherlands, the United Kingdom, Italy, Finland and Greece. When Turkey is compared with 28 EU countries, the average weighted tax rate for 28 EU countries is 66.37%. In Turkey, this ratio is 66.59%. When we look at EU tax rates on diesel and per liter, EU average tax rate is 61.47%. In Turkey, this rate is 60.61%. From these results we see that the rate of the tax on diesel in Turkey remained below the EU average tax rate. However, the fact that the current tax practice in Turkey is higher than the income and corporate taxation has resulted in a burden on some sectors and a slowdown in economic development.","PeriodicalId":113431,"journal":{"name":"Sosyoekonomi Journal","volume":"78 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"114548356","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Catastrophic heath expenditure occurs when a household’s total out-of-pocket health payments equal or exceed 40% of household’s capacity to pay or non-subsistence spending. In this study, it is aimed to find out general situation of catastrophic health expenditures and determine the factors that affect these expenditures of households in the period between 2002 and 2014 in Turkey.

In the age of stagnation, the ability of global capitalist system to maintain its stability and survival has declined significantly. The long-run stagnation has weakened the consensus among social classes, leading to a ‘political crisis’ and an increasing authoritarian tendency in contemporary capitalism. This paper divides modern orthodox theoretical explanations of stagnation into three categories: demand-sided theories (Summers/Krugman), supply-sided ones (Gordon) and theories denying the existence of stagnation (Bernanke & Rogoff). Although some leading orthodox economists accept that there has been a strong tendency of stagnation in advanced capitalist world since the start of this century, they neither consider stagnation to be a consequence of capitalist accumulation process nor one of neo-liberal variant of capitalism. In contrast, analyzing stagnation from a wider perspective with historical, social and political dimensions, heterodox theories have stronger theoretical foundations than those of orthodox theories. While Post-Keynesians argue that stagnation stems from structural/chronic demand deficiency caused by neo-liberalism enhancing income inequalities, radical political economists emphasize that stagnation is a ‘systemic’ problem inherent to monopoly, mature capitalism.","PeriodicalId":113431,"journal":{"name":"Sosyoekonomi Journal","volume":"16 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2018-01-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"116235391","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}

Gini Results indicate that coefficients are increasing throughout the period, and regional income inequality is increasing over time. The difference between the Weighted and Unweighted Gini coefficients reveals that the level of inequality further increases when population shares of provinces are taken into consideration. Spatial autocorrelation results indicate that there is a strong spatial autocorrelation between provinces. Low (high) income provinces are mostly surrounded by low (high) income provinces. Results also indicate a tentative border between the high income west and poor income east provinces. This border moves even further west throughout the period under question. This fact may be interpreted as further concentration of richness at the western provinces.","PeriodicalId":113431,"journal":{"name":"Sosyoekonomi Journal","volume":"33 1","pages":"0"},"PeriodicalIF":0.0,"publicationDate":"2017-10-31","publicationTypes":"Journal Article","fieldsOfStudy":null,"isOpenAccess":false,"openAccessPdf":"","citationCount":null,"resultStr":null,"platform":"Semanticscholar","paperid":"126204126","PeriodicalName":null,"FirstCategoryId":null,"ListUrlMain":null,"RegionNum":0,"RegionCategory":"","ArticlePicture":[],"TitleCN":null,"AbstractTextCN":null,"PMCID":"","EPubDate":null,"PubModel":null,"JCR":null,"JCRName":null,"Score":null,"Total":0}
