N/A; The current economic crises incredibly enhanced the destandardisation of life course and made the transitions among the passages riskier. It has made those who share perilous social locations in social space more vulnerable. This chapter concentrates on the intersectionality of youth, migrant and gender statuses across various welfare regimes in the European Union and analyses how these regimes respond to the growing destandardisation process for this group, particularly in school-to-work transitions. It reveals that young migrant women are negatively affected in each of the welfare regimes analysed. Universal regimes, mainly characterised by an institutionalised vocational education training and strong counselling support, perform relatively well in facilitating school-to-work transitions of different vulnerable groups. The chapter concludes that the inequality in school-to-work transitions is strongly associated with broader structural issues and, therefore, comprehensive approaches, rather the policies targeting singular areas, are needed.

Banks create liquidity by transforming liquid liabilities into illiquid assets and this is one of their main functions. Yet excessive liquidity creation, especially via off-balance sheet activities, might have contributed to the 2008-2009 financial crisis. In this chapter, we analyze the dynamics of liquidity creation in Turkey and the United States, and the contribution of off-balance sheet activities therein.

Ekici, Özgün; Sethuraman, J.
In the object reallocation problem, Ekici (2023) showed that Top Trading Cycles (TTC) is the unique rule that is strategyproof, individual-rational, and pair-efficient. We provide a short proof of this characterization result.

This paper delves into the impacts of an ongoing global crisis on the resilience of supply chains. Furthermore, it proposes measures to address and mitigate the disruptions caused by the prevailing uncertainties. For example, while the economy has started to recover after the pandemic and demand has increased, companies have not fully returned to their pre-pandemic levels. To enhance their supply chain resilience and effectively manage disruptions, one viable strategy is the implementation of flexible/hybrid manufacturing systems. This research is motivated by the specific requirements of Vestel Electronics, a household appliances company, which seeks a flexible/hybrid manufacturing production setup involving dedicated machinery to meet regular demand and the utilisation of flexible manufacturing system (FMS) to handle surges in demand. We employ a scenario-based approach to model demand uncertainty, enabling the company to make immediate and adaptive decisions that take advantage of the cost-effectiveness of standard production and the responsiveness of FMS. To solve the problem, we propose a heuristic algorithm based on column generation. The numerical results demonstrate that our optimisation model provides solutions with an average optimality gap of less than 6% while also reducing the average cost of standard production schemes without FMS by over 12%.
