    A Socioeconomic Analysis in Terms of Household Digital Technology Ownership
    (Sosyoekonomi Soc, 2023) Canatan, Behice; Ozbilge, Gokhan; Ipek, Egemen
    In this study, individuals may be willing to have digital technology ownership for purposes such as employment, personal development, and/or e-commerce, as well as their income and sociodemographic characteristics. In this direction, the study aims to investigate the effects of preferred technology applications in the household and income and sociodemographic factors that impact digital technology ownership in Turkiye. For this purpose, Turkstat 2021 Household Information Technologies Usage Research Micro Data Set and generalised ordered logit method were used. The findings indicate that more than income alone is needed to expand digital technology ownership, and related factors such as e-commerce, e-skills, and online course taking should also be addressed.

    Effects of indoor air pollution on household health: evidence from Turkey
    (Springer Heidelberg, 2021) Ipek, Ozlem; Ipek, Egemen
    Indoor air pollution caused by the use of biomass energy in heating and cooking adversely affects the health status of household members. In Turkey, with the rapid economic growth of the last decade, biomass has been among the most consumed types of household energy for heating and cooking due to inadequate infrastructure, dependence on foreign energy, and high energy prices. This study aims to add empirical evidence to the literature on health status and indoor air pollution in Turkey caused by households' energy choices. This study analyzed these effects with random effects panel discrete ordered models using the Income Living Conditions Micro Longitudinal Data Set for the period 2014-2017. As a result of the analysis, we found that the factors of age, being female, having dependent children, and indoor air pollution have adverse effects on health status. However, education level and income level affect health status positively. The most important observation obtained from this study is that even high-income households are adversely affected by indoor air pollution due to the lack of access to clean energy resources.

    How Housing Conditions Affect Health: Findings From the Turkish National Household Panel Survey
    (Routledge Journals, Taylor & Francis Ltd, 2023) Selcuk, Isil Sirin; Ipek, Egemen; Koktas, Altug Murat
    Housing is an important expression of prosperity for a society and a determinant of health and well-being. Despite the fact that the housing industry, which has faced rapid transformation and growth in Turkey since the 2000s, has made many people homeowners, being a homeowner alone does not ensure the subjective well-being of individuals. The conditions of individuals' houses are also significant for their well-being. Accordingly, the Survey on Income and Living Conditions covering the years 2014-2017 was used to determine whether inequalities in housing conditions are linked to health problems among households. An index that measures the housing conditions of 5,549 households was devised and its effects on self-rated health, along with other socioeconomic indicators, were examined using a random-effects ordered logistic model. The findings indicate that the quality of housing enhances self-rated health in Turkey. More specifically, improved housing conditions tend to increase the likelihood of individuals being healthier. As the results show that inequality in housing conditions has a significant effect on general health, alongside education, gender, and marital status, housing policies should not only focus on the affordability of housing but should also take social welfare indicators into account.
