“…Households receiving cash or in-kind assistance from individuals or private institutions, on the other hand, were found to be less likely to spend on mobile phones (3.3 percentage points), and that they have less mobile phone spending level (3.29₺ overall). As expected, the households receiving aid have a very low income, having to devote a significant portion of their budget to meet basic needs such as food [50]. Also, considering that the households in these groups do not have a regular job or that they have a low income, they can be said to spend less on mobile phones, which is in line with expectations.…”

The roles of socio-demographic and economic characteristics in the probability and levels of household mobile phone spending were determined by estimating the inverse hyperbolic sine double-hurdle model (IHS-DH). Data were obtained from the Household Budget Surveys conducted by the Turkish Statistical Institute (TSI) during 2019. The IHS-DH model has a statistical advantage over all other competing models. In addition, statistical test results have provided support for the heteroscedastic error specification and use of instruments in parameter identification. Findings suggest that most of the socio-demographic and economic characteristics of the household and the head of household have significant effects on the probability to spend and levels of spending on mobile phones. In particular, the creation of different policy and intervention structures suitable for the statistically significant characteristics of the family will both ensure the efficiency of resource allocation and facilitate the adoption of appropriate marketing strategies in the country. The Global System for Mobile Communications operators are thought to be one of the biggest beneficiaries of the returns to be received from all kinds of subventions or investment incentives made in areas where the telecommunication infrastructure is insufficient.

“…Economic development and rapid urbanization have led to a steady increase in private vehicle ownership in developing countries since the 1960s (9). As a developing country, car and vehicle ownership in Turkish cities has showed rapid growth in the past two decades, whereas passenger car ownership has more than doubled for the last 15 years (10). According to the 2019 report released by the Turkish Statistical Institute (11), the number of registered motor vehicles in Turkey exceeded 23.1 million by late August 2019; car owners comprised 54.1% of this number.…”

Car and vehicle ownership levels in developing countries are gradually increasing, leading to traffic congestion, energy consumption, and air pollution. As a developing country, Turkey encounters many of the issues caused by this rapid increase in car ownership. This paper aims to examine potential determinants of household car and vehicle ownership behavior in urban areas of Turkey by concentrating on three cities (Ankara, Erzurum, and Bayburt) that are distinct in population, geographical region, and public transit services. For this purpose, a written survey was administered to 1389 households living in these cities. The data is analyzed using alternative ordered response models—the generalized ordered logit, partial proportional odds (PPO), and heteroskedastic ordered logit models. To the best of our knowledge, this study is the first attempt to compare alternative ordered response models to determine car and vehicle ownership behavior in Turkey. Consequently, the PPO model was found to be the most parsimonious model among the others. The results demonstrated that household car and vehicle ownership behavior in Turkey differs significantly with urban area size. The estimation results also revealed that several key drivers, including type of dwelling, parking availability, household monthly income, and public transit use, significantly influence Turkish households’ car and vehicle ownership levels. This study’s empirical findings may provide insight to policymakers and stakeholders for future transportation strategies and policies.
