research projects

2006-2007. ‘The Effect of Political Regime Type on Health,’ Research Grant from The Scientific and Technological Research Council of Turkey (with Arzu Akkoyunlu). Our aim in this project is to (1) establish whether political regime type is a significant determinant of morbidity and mortality, (2) compare the effect of political regime type with other determinants of health and (3) examine through what causal channels, if any, political regime type has an effect on morbidity and mortality.
