Today, energy is as important as labour, capital and technology for the growth of countries. As countries grow economically, they try to achieve the same or more amounts of output with fewer inputs. In other words, countries target efficiency based growth. As the economic growth of countries increases, their energy requirements also increase. Regarding countries that are not rich in domestic resources, this increase, imposes significant costs. On the other hand, the finite energy supply in countries rich in domestic resources is an important problem. That is why the phenomenon of renewable energy has become a trend all over the world. In addition to reducing import dependence on energy, new policies are required to reduce the effects of climate changes and to protect natural resources. That is why; renewable energy and economic efficiency are an attractive research area. In the study, efficiency scores were obtained by calculating the Malmquist total factor productivity index in the period 1992–2018 for 10 countries among the N11 countries. Then, the efficiency values obtained by using the two stage estimation method were used as the dependent variables. The test results based on Tobit regression indicated that the increase in the supply of renewable energy positively increases economic efficiency. It can be said that the supply of renewable energy will lead to economic efficiency in the future.

The basic canonical model fails to predict the aggregate college premium outside of the original sample period (1963-1987) or to account for the observed deviations in college premia for younger vs. older workers. This paper documents that these failings are due to mis-measurement of the relevant prices and quantities when using composition adjustment methods to construct relative skill prices and supplies, which ignore cohort effects that are particularly important in the 1980s and 1990s. Re-estimating the model with prices and quantities that incorporate cohort effects produces a good fit for the out of sample prediction and explains the observed deviation in the college premium for younger vs. older workers even with perfect substitutability across age. Moreover, the estimated elasticity of substitution between high and low skill is higher and there is a much smaller role for SBTC in explaining the path of the college wage premium. The elasticity of substitution is also an important parameter for the broader literature on education and wages, especially in assessing general equilibrium responses to government policies. In the case of a tuition subsidy, price responses can undo most of the direct (partial equilibrium) effect of the subsidy on enrolment, so that general equilibrium enrolment responses are substantially weaker. The higher elasticity estimated in this paper, produces much weaker general equilibrium relative price changes and stronger enrolment effects.

Bilişim teknolojilerindeki ilerleme eğitimde zaman, mekân ve mesafe gibi kavramların daralarak yeniden yorumlanmasına olanak tanımış ve yeni nesil açıköğretim sisteminin ortaya çıkmasını sağlamıştır. Atatürk Üniversitesi Açıköğretim Fakültesi'nin en önemli amacı kadınlar, yaşlılar ve engelliler gibi dezavantajlı grupta bulunup, yükseköğrenime devam etmek isteyen bireylere hizmet vermektir. Yaklaşık beş yüz bin öğrencisi bulunan Atatürk Üniversitesi Açıköğretim Fakültesi'nde dezavantajlı grup içerisinde sayılan yedi bini aşkın engelli öğrenci de yer almaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı, engelli öğrencilerin Fakülte'ye kayıt süreçleri ile başlayıp mezuniyetleriyle son bulacak öğrenim süreleri boyunca karşılaşabilecekleri güçlükleri en aza indirmektir. Öğrencilerin materyal ücreti muafiyet ya da iade işlemlerini takip etmek, engel durumlarına göre sağlıklı sınav hizmeti alabilmeleri ve işleyişi hızlandırarak yapılan tüm işlemleri sistematiğe bağlamak üzere bir talep/takip ve yönetim sistemi oluşturulmuştur. Bu çerçevede ASP.NET web geliştirme platformu ve SQL Server veri tabanı kullanılarak bir sistem geliştirilmiştir. İlgili sistem 7568 engelli öğrencinin işlemleri için kullanılmaya başlanmış ve engelsiz üniversite için bir katkı sunulmuştur.
