    An Empirical Analysis of the Effects of Consanguineous Marriages on Economic Development
    (Sage Publications Inc, 2010) Bildirici, Melike; Kokdener, Meltem; Ersin, Ozgur Omer
    In this study, development experiences toward economic development are investigated to provide an alternative analysis of economic development, human capital, and genetic inheritance in the light of consanguineous marriages. The countries analyzed in the study are discussed in accordance with consanguineous marriage practices and classified by their per capita gross domestic product (GDP) growth. A broad range of countries are analyzed in the study. Arab countries that experienced high rates of growth in their gross national income during the twentieth century but failed to fulfill adequate development measures as reflected in the growth in national income, countries undergoing transition from tight government regulation to free market democracy, and African nations that have experienced complications in the process of development show important differences in the process of economic development. It is shown that the countries that have reached high average development within the context of per capita GDP have overcome problems integral to consanguineous marriage.

    Genetic structure, consanguineous marriages and economic development: Panel cointegration and panel cointegration neural network analyses
    (Pergamon-Elsevier Science Ltd, 2011) Bildirici, Melike; Ersin, Ozgur Omer; Kokdener, Meltem
    Consanguineous marriages and their effects on human beings in light of biological effects of genetic sicknesses are discussed in many studies. Among many, the likelihood of sicknesses such as phenylketonuria, thalassemia, Landsteiner-Fanconi-Anderson's syndrome, hemophilia and many neuro system anomalies increase drastically in countries with consanguineous marriage practices resulting in increasing economic costs. In the study, we aimed to analyze the effects of consanguineous marriage and its effect on economic growth and development. We also analyzed infant mortality in these countries in light of consanguineous marriages and economic development. In the study, Panel Cointegration specifications are integrated into Neural Network models known with their strong generalization properties. The study focuses the econometric analyses, where the Panel Cointegration Neural Network Model is investigated and compared to the Panel Cointegration Model. According to MSE, MAE and RMSE error criteria and Die-bold Mariano tests of equal forecast accuracy, the results suggest strong advantages of Panel Cointegration MLP models compared to Panel Cointegration models used in regression analysis.
