    Educational wage premia and wage inequality in Turkey
    (Inderscience Publishers, 2021) Kent, Oya; Sefil Tansever, Sinem
    This paper examines the effect of educational attainment on the male wage inequality in Turkey by employing Structure of Earnings Survey Micro Data compiled by TURKSTAT. We compare two years, namely 2006 and 2014, by estimating the Mincerian wage equation. Quantile regression method is utilised in order to explore the differentials in educational wage premia along the wage distribution. Our findings show that, despite the overall increase in the male wage inequality over the period, inequality declined at the top end of the wage distribution while displaying a significant increase at the bottom end. Education had a positive impact on both within and between groups inequality in both years. In general, educational wage premia in all education categories along the wage distribution increased, with two exceptions (vocational high school and higher education). Especially, in higher education category, educational wage premia have declined at the top half of the wage distribution while increased in lower quantiles.

    Türkiye’de gelir polarizasyonu eğilimi ve kaynakları
    (Okan Üniversitesi, 2021) Sefil Tansever, Sinem
    Income polarization which refers to the shrinkage of the middle income group and polarization of the income distribution towards the low and /or high income group, is a distributional measure that is related to the concepts of income distribution, such as poverty and income inequality, but should be examined separately due to its conceptual differences. This study examines the magnitude and trends of income polarization, as well as its relation to income inequality and its income sources in Turkey between 2006 and 2018 by using data from Income and Living Condition Survey. The obtained results showed that Wolfston bi-polarization index and DER index decreased by11.9% and 3.5% respectively, while the former had a downward trend and the letter was relatively more stable during the analysis period. A more detailed examination of DER index revealed that income distances between income groups in distribution decreased while the income groups became more pronounced. It was observed that social transfers, which decreased the income polarization at the beginning of the analysis period, increased the income polarization at the end. It was also revealed that most significant income source of income polarization was salary and wage incomes.
