Energy Consumption Diversification (ECD)  (Updated: March 2022)    
 
The variety of energy sources has increased since the 1990s. However, this issue does not automatically imply that all countries follow similar energy diversification patterns or use similar energy sources. Therefore, we introduce a comparable index to measure energy mixes (portfolio) and analyze the diversification pattern in different countries over decades. The energy portfolio diversification is expected to occur from traditional sources of energy (fossil fuels) to new sources of energy (renewables).

Recalculated KOF Indices of Economic Globalization (RCEGI)  (Updated: August 2021)
 
The KOF indices of globalization are the most used globalization measures in the international economics literature, but it uses the nominal trade openness measure to construct the globalization index. I use real trade openness instead of nominal trade openness and recalculate the KOF economic globalization index.

The Fragility of Export Markets Indices (FEMI) (Updated: August 2021)

We introduce three new indicators for measuring uncertainty in Turkey’s export markets from 1996Q1 to 2021Q2. Our indicators are based on World Uncertainty, World Trade Uncertainty, and World Pandemic Uncertainty indices.

Macroeconomic and Financial Uncertainty Index in Turkey (TEFUI) (Updated: January 2022)

We measure the level of economic and financial uncertainty in Turkey. The measure used is based on an internet search-based strategy and develops the ‘Turkish Economic and Financial Uncertainty Index’ (TEFUI).
