Abstract: In this study, the effect of using new generation fuel injection
system and electronic ignition system in a spark ignition (SI) vehicle as an
alternative fuel by using bioethanol on the exhaust emissions and performance
of vehicle will be experimentally examined. By mixing bioethanol and gasoline
in diverse proportions as 50%, the effects of this on the exhaust emissions and
performance of vehicle will be searched. An order to establish the emissions of
vehicle, by running the vehicle in different clutch types and various vehicle
speed were accounted through measuring wheel power, fuel consumption and
CO, CO2, HC, NOx exhaust emissions were measured at each gear for each
fuels.
Keywords: Bioethanol, Alternative fuels, Exhaust emissions from vehicle.

Introduction
The increase in prices of petroleum based fuels, strict governmental regulations on exhaust
emissions with increasing focus on global warming due to the greenhouse gas effect and future depletion of
worldwide petroleum reserves encourage studies to search for alternative fuels. Alcohols (ethanol and
methanol) have been considered as alternative fuels for Otto and Diesel engines. One of these alternative
fuels, bioethanol, can offer substantial reductions in consumption of fosil fuels and emission of greenhouse
gases [1-2].
Bioethanol has the opportunity to contribute to the gradual substitution of fossil fuels not only in the
gasoline sector but even in the diesel one, by two means: direct blending and ethanolysis. Besides the
advantages in production costs, direct blending of bioethanol provides higher oxygen concentration, and
thus higher potential for emissions reduction with the same volume fraction of renewable fuel blended [3].
Bioethanol is a renewable energy, it can be made from many raw materials such as sugar cane,
molasses, cassava, waste biomass materials, sorghum, corn, barley, sugar beets, etc. by using already
improved and demonstrated technologies [4-5]. Since ethanol can be fermented and distilled from
biomasses, it can be considered as a renewable energy. Under the environmental consideration, using
ethanol blended with gasoline is better than methanol because of its renewability and less toxicity [6,7].
In this study, bioethanol was obtained from sugar beet by fermantasyon method. The use of
bioethanol in a vehicle having SI engine and its effect on emissions and vehicle performance were
investigated. The study is given as a new investigation due to using vehicle having new electronic ignition
and injection system, and performed on chassis dynamometer of experiments.

�Description Of The Experimental Setup And Testing Procedure
Vehicle specifications used in the study are given in Table 1. Controlling of tyre pressure and tooths,
wheel balance and rod adjustment, engine controls performed before experiments.
The vehicle was coupled to Delorenzo HPT 6100 type chassis dynamometer. Vehicle exhaust emissions
were measured using exhaust emission analyzer which Italo – Spin type, digital displaying, can measure
CO (% vol) with 0.001 sensibility, CO2 (% vol) with 0.001 sensibility, NOx (ppm) and HC (ppm) values.
As fuel, E0 (98 octane gasoline) and E50 (50% bioethanol – 50% gasoline as volumetric) were used. Fuels
specifications used in the study are given in Table 2.
First, the vehicle was tested with E0 fuel. Then, the bioethanol – gasoline blend was also tested E50
fuel. Exhaust emissions were measured at each gear and for each fuel. The ambient air temperature, relative
humidity, and atmospheric pressure were almost constant during the tests.

Results
Wheel performance

Wheel power and fuel consumption were studied as vehicle performance. The variations of wheel power
with vehicle speed for the tested all fuels at each gear is depicted in Figure 1, 2, 3. Maximum wheel power
was measured at 60 km/h as 36.4 kW for E0 at second gear. Wheel power was measured as 31.2 kW with
E50 at same gear and speed. Maximum wheel power was measured at 80 km/h as 32.7 kW for E0 at third
gear. Wheel power was measured as 28.3 kW with E50 at same gear and speed. Maximum wheel power
was measured at 110 km/h as 29.4 kW for E0 at forth gear. Wheel power was measured as 25.7 kW with
E50 at same gear and speed.

According to results, wheel power values of E50 were lower than E0. The decrease in average power was
12.13% for usage of E50 at second gear. The decrease in average power was 13.56% for usage of E50 at
third gear. The decrease in average power was 13.4% for usage of E50 at forth gear. The lower wheel

�power obtained for E50’s could be due to fuel flow problems, as higher density and higher viscosity, and
decreasing combustion efficiency as lower thermal efficiency by heating value lower than E0.

�Fuel consumption

The variations of fuel consumption with vehicle speed for the tested all fuels at each gear are depicted in
Figure 4, 5, 6. At all vehicle speed, fuel consumption values of E50 were higher than E0. The increase in
average fuel consumption was 18.86% for usage of E50 at second gear. The increase in average fuel
consumption was 28.1% for usage of E50 at third gear. The increase in average fuel consumption was
34.2% for usage of E50 at forth gear.
One possible explanation for this increase could be due to lower heating value and higher density compared
to E0 (Table 3). Therefore, thermal efficiency of E0 is higher than thermal efficiency of E50, and fuel
consumption value of E0 is lower than fuel consumption of E50.

�The variations of HC produced by running the vehicle using E0 and E50 fuels is shown in Figure 13, 14, 15.
At all vehicle speed and each gear, HC emissions of E50 fuel are higher than HC emission of E0. The
increase in average HC emission was approx. 60% for usage of E50 at second gear. The increase in average
HC emission was approx. 54.28% for usage of E50 at third gear. The increase in average HC emission was
approx. 65% for usage of E50 at forth gear. Cause of this is bad burning with bioethanol fuels. However,
HC emission of E50 fuel is decrease due to lower heating value of E50 fuel.

�NOx emission

The variations of NOx produced by running the vehicle using E0 and E50 fuels is shown in Figure 17, 18,
19. At all vehicle speed and each gear, NOx emissions of E50 fuel are lower than NOx emission of E0. The
decrease in average NOx emission was approx. 45.2% for usage of E50 at second gear. The decrease in
average NOx emission was approx. 53% for usage of E50 at third gear. The decrease in average NOx
emission was approx. 61.71% for usage of E50 at second gear. Cause of the decrease is low of lower
heating value of E50 fuel, and thus, temperature at burning end is decrease.

Abstarct: In this study, influence of blended cements produced with different types of
pozzolans on sulfate resistance of concrete was investigated. For this reason, Manisa Enli
Mining crushing waste natural zeolite (clinoptilolite) and two different types of volcanic tuff
supplied from Eskişehir and Nevşehir region were used in blended cement production
According to mechanical performance of these blended cements, sulfate resistance
experiments were carried out in accordance with ASTM C 1012 code. The mechanical
properties of the blended cements were determined on 40x40x160 mm mortar specimens. The
25x25x285 mm mortar bar specimens were produced in order to determine the length changes
of the specimens under sulfate attack. Mortar bar specimens were cured in 10% Na2SO4
solution for 6 months. The length changes and mechanical properties of the mortar specimens
with different types of blended cements showed that, zeolite and volcanic tuffs reduces the
ettringite formation when compared with ordinary CEM I 42.5 reference specimens.

Introduction
Concreteis one ofthe most widely used construction material, owing toits good durability to costratio.
However, when subjected to severe environments its durability can significantly decline due to corrosion of
embedded reinforcement and/or degradation ofthe concrete(Roy et al.,2001). The mostimportant parameter on
concrete performance is the properties of cement used in concrete production. It is possible to achieve
environmental and economical benefits with utilization of pozzolanic mineral additives in cement production.
The durability problems in concrete and reinforced concrete structures exposing to aggressive environment
effects,lead to the damages in structures before the expected service life. One of the significant concerns in the
design of durable concreteis sulfate resistance.
Deterioration of concrete by sulfate attack is commonly observed in structures exposed to soils or
groundwater containing a high concentration of sulfate ions (Irassar et al., 2000). Sodium sulfate reacts with
calcium hydroxide to form calcium sulfate (gypsum). This reaction proceeds to a greater or lesser extent,
depending on the conditions (Neville, 2004). Ettringite formation is considered to be the cause of most of the
expansion and disruption of concrete structures involved in the sulphate attack (ACI, 1994). The penetration of
sulfateions into the concrete,the calcium monosulfoaluminate crystalsin the paste may convertinto gypsum or
ettringite; this results in a change to a larger molar volume. These volumetric changes cause expansion and
internal stresses, which ultimately weaken and destroy the paste bonds, deteriorating the concrete (Tikalsky et
al., 2002, Topçu, 2006).
To mitigatethis attack, concrete codes recommend a concrete mixture with low water/cement ratio and
containing a sulfateresistant Portland cement. The lowered availability of C3 A can reduce the damage caused by
sulfate attack due to a direct reduction in the quantity of ettringite that can form. Also, ettringite formation in
chloride-rich environments is not associated with expansion and cracking (Santahanam et al., 2006).In addition
to the C3 A content, C3 S/C2 S ratio of cement is also found to be an effective parameter in the sulfate resistance
(Cao et al.,1997, Ramyar &amp; Đnan, 2007). Cements containing higher C3 S content, upon hydration produce
significantly higher quantity of calcium hydroxide which may directly react with sulfate ions of high
concentration (&gt;8000 ppm) to cause gypsum corrosion (Rasheeduzzafer et al.,1990). Gypsum corrosion reduces
the cohesion stiffness and strength ofthe hydrated cement paste.

Under the new specification, various materials can be used freely, but the material design methods of
various cementitious materials must be established to satisfy the performance requirements of concrete (Sakai et
al., 2005). Pozzolanic materials have been widely used as substitutes for Portland cement in many applications
because of their advantageous properties which include cost decrease, reduction in heat evaluation, decreased
permeability, alkali aggregate-expansion control, decreased chemical resistance, reduced concrete drying
shrinkage and the improvementin the properties of fresh concrete (Shi &amp; Day, 2001). Amorphous silica present
in the pozzolanic materials combines with lime and forms cementitious materials. These materials improve the
durability of concrete and the rate of gain in strength and can also reduce the rate of liberation of heat that is
beneficial for mass concrete (Khandaker &amp; Hossain, 2003). Nevertheless, the use of natural and artificial
pozzolans as blend materials for cement has been constantly increasing in order to reduce energy consumption
and CO2 emission without causing any degradation to cement properties.
Zeolites are crystalline alumina silicates with uniform pores,channels and cavities. They posses special
properties like ion exchange, molecular sieves, a large surface area and a catalytic activity which makes them a
preferable material for tremendous industrial applications (Breck, 1971). About 40 natural zeolites have been
identified during the past 200 years; the most commons are analcime, chabazite, clinoptilolite, mordenite and
philipsite. Worldwide production of natural zeolite was estimated at about 3-4 M ton on the basis of recorded
production and production estimates (Virta, 2001). Ratherthan the known application areas, higher quantities of
research (de Gennaro et al.,2004, de Gennaro et al., 2005) concerning the using of natural zeolite, especially
clinoptilolitein concrete applications as pozzolanic cement,light weight aggregates and dimension stone is being
increased in recent years. Zeolitictuffs and amorphous silicatetuffs arethe main natural pozzolansinthe cement
industry. The pozzolanic activity of zeolites depends on their chemical and mineralogical composition. The
pozzolanic properties of zeolites are due totheirreactive SiO2 and Al2 O3, which react with the Ca(OH)2 liberated
during the hydration of cementand convertitinto C–S–H gelsand aluminates. As a result,the micro-structure of
hardened cement concrete isimproved and the concrete becomes more impervious (Gervais &amp; Ouki, 2002). On
the other hand, some waste materials such as fly ash (FA) and ground granulated blastfurnace slag (BFS) can be
used as supplementary cementing material, or artificial pozzolan,in concrete industry. The reactivity of FA and
BFS is supposed to be particularly influenced by the glass content and its composition.
In this study, influence of blended cements produced with different types of pozzolans on sulfate
resistance of concrete was investigated. For this reason, Manisa Enli Mining crushing waste natural zeolite
(clinoptilolite) and two differenttypes of volcanictuffsupplied from Eskişehir and Nevşehirregion were used in
blended cement production. The first group single composition cements are produced by grinding different
pozzolans replacing clinker, provided from Çimsa Cement Factory, at the ratios of 10, 20, 30, 40 and 45%
together with gypsum stone in a ball mill. The second group composite cements are produced with 20-30%
replacement ratios in binary replacement compositions. According to mechanical performance of these blended
cements, sulfate resistance experiments were carried out in accordance with AST M C 1012 code (AST M C
1012, 2002). The mechanical properties of the blended cements were determined on 40x40x160 mm mortar
specimens. The 25x25x285 mm mortar bar specimens were produced in orderto determine thelength changes of
the specimens under sulfate attack. Mortar bar specimens were cured in 10% Na2 SO4 solution for 6 months. The
length changes and mechanical properties ofthe mortar specimens with differenttypes of blended cements were
determined and analyzed in order to obtain a durable cement composition against sulfate attack.

Experimental Study
The raw materials of blended cement compositions were supplied from different sources. Cement
clinker, gypsum limestone and Eskişehir trass were supplied from Çimsa Eskişehir cement factory. Natural
zeolite in clinoptilolite form was provided from Manisa Gördes region and Nevşehir Tuff was supplied from
Nevşehir-Đnli region. Chemical analyses of the materials were made by means of X-ray spectrophotometer
(XRF) and the test results are given in Table 1. In this study, 24 different types of blended cement mixes with
zeolite (Z), Eskişehir tuff (ET) and Nevşehir tuff (NT), replacement of 10, 20, 30, 40 and 45% by weight, 5%
limestone for particle size arrangement and 3% gypsum were produced by intergrinding these materials in ball
mill. These are defined as first group. According to compressive strength results of first group cements, the
optimum replacement ratio of additives was found as 20 and 30% of clinker. Then the second group mixes were
designed by means of 20 and 30% replacement ratio as binary composition. These blended cements were
compared with reference to CE M I 42.5 ordinary Portland cement in experimental studies.

The prepared cement mortars with the produced cements were castin 40x40x160 mm prismatic moulds
according to TS EN 196-1. The mortar specimens were removed from the moulds after 1 day and were then
cured inlime saturated water at 20±1°C untilthe age of considering strength test. Atthe end ofthe curing period
(2, 7, 28 and 180 days), mortar specimens were subjected to compressive strength test(TS EN 196-1, 2002).
Mortar bars were prepared according to AST M C 1012 in dimension with 25x25x285 m m and
40x40x160 mm in orderto determine the effects of sulfate on differenttypes of produced blended cements. After
the initial curing period, specimens were demolded and cured in lime saturated water (23 ± 1.7 °C) until the
mortar cube specimens gained a compressive strength of 20 MPa as described by ASTM C 1012 (Sahmaran et
al., 2007). Upon reaching a compressive strength of 20 MPa, the performance of cements under sulfate-attack
were determined weekly through expansion measurements of mortar bars with which are immersed in 10%
Na2 SO4 solution for one year. During this curing cycle, compressive strength and ultrasound pulse velocitytests
were carried outto determine the mechanical and physical properties of different blended cement mortars.

Results and Discussion
Co mpressive Strength
The aim of this study is to determine the strength development and sulfate resistance of different
pozzolan blended cements. The mechanical performance of produced blended cements was determined by
compressive strength test. The considered testresults are given in Table 2. The compressive strength testresults
showed different behaviors depending upon the replacement ratio of pozzolans and age of the mortar specimens.
In the early stage of cement hydration, Ca(OH)2 from the hydrating paste was incorporated into the pozzolan
structure and led to the formation of hydration producttype C-S-H and hydrated aluminate phases (Topçu et al.,
2008). According to compressive strength resultsthe early age strengths of blended cements were reduced with
increasing amounts of replacement ratio. At the age of 28 days, the compressive strength values of zeolite
blended cements were higher than reference CE M I 42.5 cement up to 40% replacement ratios. Moreover at 180
days, the compressive strength of BFS, FA and zeolite blended cements reached approximately 57 MPa
depending on the pozzolanic reaction of the considered mineral additive. This result was higher than the
reference ordinary Portland cement mortars (50 MPa). According to mechanicaltesting results,it may be stated
thatlong term strength performances of natural zeolite (clinoptilolite) and Eskişehirtuff blended cements were
better than reference CE M I 42.5 type cement. A comparison based on strength development indicates that the
replacement of zeolite and volcanic tuffisthe most effective method in blended cement production.

Sulfate Resistance
According to compressive strength test results, the optimum usage of mineral additive in blended
cement mixtures was found as 30% replacement ratio. Forthis reason the sulfate resistance tests were carried on
30% blended cements. The volume expansion of mortar bars was measured with 0.001 mm sensitive comparator
for 6 months in order with AST M C 1012 code. According to AST M C 1157 the expansion limits of hydraulic
cements were 0.10% and 0.05% at 26 weeks as moderate sulfate resistant and high sulfate resistant,respectively
(AST M C 1157, 2000). Also 0.10% expansion limit was suggested for high sulfate resistant cements. Volume

According to these results natural zeolite blended cements is more durable than ordinary Portland
cement, under aggressive sulfate environments.It also seemsthat asthe proportion ofthe replacement of clinker
by pozzolanic materialincreased,the sulfate resistance of the mixture also increased. This conclusion, which is
in accordance with other research results indicates that the decrease of C3 A content of the mixture in
combination with the reduction of large pores caused by the pozzolanic reaction, are more criticalthan the total
porosity alone (which increases as the w/c ratio also increases) when sulfate resistance is of primary interest
(Sideris et al., 2006).
Mechanical behavior of different cement mortars during the sulfate test were investigated with
compressive strength test results. As seen from Table 3 compressive strength of CEM I 42.5 cement was
increased up to 59 MPa more rapidly than other cements at early ages. This increase should be attributed with
the supplementary ettringite formation in the C-S-H structure of the composite. However,atthe end of 8 weeks
this trend changed and strength reduction occurred with the expansion of ettringite salt in the composite
structure. The same behavior was seen on ETC-30 specimens. On the other hand ZBC-30 and NTZBC-10
cement mortars were increased their compressive strength 61.00 MPa and 64.32 MPa respectively, atthe end of
the experimental study. Compressive strength test results show a good agreement with volume expansion of
cement mortars.

Ultrasonic methods are generally used for analyzing the porous structure, mechanical strength of
concrete and to detectinternal defects(voids,cracks, delaminations,etc.)(Lafhaj etal.,2006). Mortar specimens
were subjected to UPV testto determine the crack formation of the composite material.As seen from Table 4,
the UPV values of mortars were increased with the curing time. However,the ultrasound pulse velocity (UPV)
value of CE M I 42.5 specimen was reduced after 8 weeks exposure time. This significantreduction showed that
the increasing volume expansion of the composite structure was the cause of the initial crack formation. Higher
C3 A content of ordinary Portland cement causes rapid ettringite formation in the composite structure compared
with othertypes of cements. The same UPV reduction occurred for Eskisehirtrass used ETC-30 blended cement
specimen. On the other hand, ZBC-30, ETZBC-20 and NTZBC-20 blended cements were increased the UPV
values purposefully with the pozzolanic reaction between mineral additives and Ca(OH)2.

Conclusions
Improving the durability of concrete structure members is an important point to achieve a sustainable
developmentin structure industry. Prolonging the service life of concretein aggressive environmentsis possible
with increasing the durability of these members. The sulfate resistance of concrete is related with the ettringite,
gypsum and thaumasite formation in the composite. The main cause of ettringiteis C3 A content of cement used
in concrete. Ordinary sulfate resistance cements are low C3 A (less than 5%) cements. According to test results
zeolite blended cements showed high sulfate resistance performance against reference Portland cement.
Utilization of economic blended cementsin sulfate environments has beneficial effects on concrete durability.

Abstract:Ferrous based materials manufactured by powder metallurgy (P/M)
method are widely used in industry. These materials are very important in
applications where no machining is required, can also be used as journal bearing
material due to their self-lubricated property, and find applications in the
medical industry. In this study, powder metal parts were manufactured from
composites ferrous based FeCu-Graphite by P/M method. Fatigue test samples
were carried out on manufactured samples receiving no treatment or boronizing
treatment or boronizing+shot treatment. Fatigue properties of these parts were
investigated by rotating bending fatigue test rig.
Keywords: Powder metalurgy, Boronizing, Shot peening, Fatigue.

Introduction
Powder metallurgy is one of the methods used for used or semi-processed parts [1]. Because of higher
melting temperatures of some metals, super alloy and hard metals must have been produced by powder
metallurgy method [2, 3].
Mechanical properties of P/M parts depend on pore amount, distribution, type, size and form. As pore
amount decreases, fatigue strength and the other mechanical properties improve [4]. Strength of machine
parts is not as strong as that of conventional steels produced by powder metallurgy method [5]. In order to
produce high density parts, high capacity presses or hot isostatic pressing method can be used. Thus,
mechanical properties of P/M parts match mechanical properties of forging parts [1, 6]. Furthermore,
powder metal materials exhibit different microstructure and density at various sintering conditions [7]. In
addition to that, physical properties are affected from pore ratio. Porousity increase sound and vibration
absorbution property. Therefore, a significant portion of powder metallurgy products is designed to take
54

�advantage of porousity into consideration [8]. Pore size and distribution are the most important parameters
affecting mechanical properties [9, 10].
Boronizing is a thermo chemical surface hardening treatment that enriches the material surface in boron
atoms via the diffusion of elemental boron into the surface of material in contact at high temperatures.
Boronizing treatment is performed at temperatures of 950 0C for varying times between 1 and 10 hours.
The characteristics of this boride layer depending on boronizing temperature, process time and properties of
the boronized material. The boronizing elements placed into the heat resistant container and specimens are
inserted into this powder [11]. The particle size of the powder is an important factor in the formation of the
boride layer [12]. The advantages of boronizing treatment over the other types of surface hardening
methods are that the surface layer is very hard, and no extra heat treatment is required after boronizing. The
most important aim in boronizing is to achieve the desired hardness [13-15]. Fatigue resistance increases by
boronizing. Therefore, boronizing can be applied to ferrous based P/M materials [1, 16].
Shot peening is an applied process where the surface of a machine part are treated with a lot of small
spherical shot jet under controlled conditions. A compressive stressed layer occurs as a result of the nonhomogeneous plastic deformation on metal material by shot peening. The aim of the shot peening is to
improve fatigue, corrosion fatigue, and stressed corrosion of metal materials [17-20]. Improving fatigue
properties of materials are important because machine elements are generally exposed to dynamic loads.
One of the methods used to improve fatigue properties of materials is shot peening. Shot peening process
can be applied to any metal based machine part. However, surface hardness and quality increases with shot
peening in P/M materials due to a decrease in the number of pores [21-23].
In this study, powder metal parts were manufactured from composites ferrous based FeCu-Graphite by P/M
method. Boronizing and boronizing+shot peening was applied to samples. Fatigue properties of these parts
were investigated. In addition; microstructural properties of fracture surfaces were investigated.

Experimental Studies

1120 0C sintering by P/M method. Non-boronized FeCu-Graphite (Group 1), boronized FeCu-Graphite
(Group 2), boronized and shot peened FeCu-Graphite (Group 3) P/M materials were used. The chemical
compositions of the materials used in the experiments are given in Table 1. Some basic properties of ASC

The box boronizing method has been used for the boronizing process. The box was held in electric
resistance oven for 4 h at 950 0C. At the end of the boronizing process, the box was cooled to room
temperature and then the specimens were cleaned.

BiH has all conditions to become tourism oriented European country. It is
found in heart of Europe, on intersection of important communication and
transportation roads. It has all necessary natural and social resources, favorable
climate, geographic and geomorphologic conditions, to have good developed
tourism sector. In this research influence of neighbor countries on B&amp;H and
their tourism development will be analyzed. Also it will be shown what are the
strengths, opportunities, weaknesses and threats of BiH in cooperation with
countries from the region. As a conclusion of this research paper it will be
proved that BiH can compete with all countries on Balkan region and Europe,
but it must make good strategy and improve a lot of spheres of economy and
tourism sector. All the resources and infrastructure is not important if there is
not enough investments and desire for progress.

Fiscal policy and debt in the context of financial crisis: The case of
Bosnia and Herzegovina
Zehra Mahmutović
International Burch University / Sarajevo, Bosnia and Herzegovina
ABSTRACT
The “Great Recession” that took place in the period of 2008/2012 has caused
the emerging and developing economies to replace advanced economies to lead
global economic growth. Since this crisis has been characterized as being both
global and severe, but furthermore as a good tool for testing the strength and
credibility of economic policies and theories, the complete recuperation could
take many years. The economy of Bosnia and Herzegovina was in structural
crisis before the economic crisis, due to its lack of planned development,
incompetent government structures, and political interference in economic
decision making. The holders of fiscal and monetary policy in Bosnia and
Herzegovina today are not taking significant measures in order to promote
growth and sustainability. The situation is thus, that public spending is
excessive, public debt is constantly growing, as well as current account deficit,
and unemployment rate. An economy cannnot be successfully managed
without an appropriate balance and harmony between its fiscal and monetary

EFFECT OF DIFFERENT FERTILIZERS TYPES ON FLAX FIBRES
CHARACTERISTICS
IN DIFFERENT CULTIVARS OF FLAX
Dervišević Selma, Veladžić Mirsad, Jogić Vildana
University of Bihac
Biotechnical Faculty

Abstract
This work presents the results of research on the impact of organic, minerals, organic and
microbiological fertilizers on characteristics of flax fibers in three different varieties of flax.
The experiment was performed in the municipality of Bosanska Krupa in 2012. The parcel
was set up in randomized block of design with four replications, and the size of the
assessment parcel was 10 m2. All three varieties are sown on the basis of 1000 germinable
seeds per m2. They represented two foreign sorts: Michael, Belstar and domestic sort X. In the
autumn mineral fertilizers were entered in soil in the scale of NPK = 15:15:15, 250 g/20m2, 3
kg/20m2 of manure and 10 l/ha of microbiological fertilizers ''Azoter''. The different
combinations of fertilizers were used: organic fertilizer, microbiological fertilizer,
organic+microbiological fertilizer and control (without fertilization) - for each tested sort. The
research was a multi-factorial (cultivar and method of fertilization). According to the results
obtained during the one-year research, Michael and Belstar varieties have achieved the best
results with organic+bacteriological fertilizer. Fibers got out of Michael and Belstar variety
have better quality, they are longer and harder, which makes them suitable for use in technical
textiles where even coarser fibres get more important. X sort fibres are the shortest and the
thickest, so they give better results with bacteriological fertilizers.
Keywords: flax, sort, morphological characteristics, phenological characteristics, fiber,
fertilizer.

1. Introduction
In addition to the elastic properties of which have, flax fibers are characterized by high
strength which reinforces their component (Kocjan &amp; Rijavec, 2010). According to EU
guidelines by summer 2012, 95% of all new vehicles must be able to be recycled, which is the
recommended use of natural fibers, especially flax. There is increasing interest in the use of
flax fibers in the field of technical textiles where the coarse fibers gaining increasing
importance of (bio-composites), and therefore hards now considered very valuable component
of the insulating material (Šurina et al. 2006 &amp; 2009b).
Length and fineness of the fibers are the most important characteristics that determine the
quality and suitability of flax fibers as raw material for the production of textile yarn and
fabrics (Butorac et al. 2008). Hann (2005) considers that the wetting stems is most demanding
stage in the production of flax fibers, usually it is the natural way, with the help of enzymes
produced by microorganisms. Biological process takes 8 to 14 day in cold water, but 3 to 4
days at a temperature of 30 to 40 ° C, with a regular change of the water.
With proper selection of varieties and production technology (eg optimum nitrogen
fertilization) and processing would ensure the natural fibers from own production for the
textile industry, but also the raw material for other industries with minimal environmental
pollution.

2. Materials and Methods
The study was conducted during the vegetation period of 2012. the location of Bosanska
Krupa, a sample plot is set in randomized block design with four replications. In the research
are used three varieties of flax: Michael, Belstar and variety X and 5 variants od fertilization:
T1 - control (without fertilizer application), T2 - mineral fertilizers, T3 - organic fertilization
(bovine manure), T4 - bacterial fertilizer (azoter) and T5 - organic+bacterial fertilizer.
Applied is a common technology growing of flax. During the vegetation were followed the
following features: time of emergence and growth of the plants, while the the harvest of flax
carried out in the second half of July. Selected samples of flax are wetted and dried fruits in
the river, where the does not have frequent visitors.
After immersion, the stems are washed and dried naturally in daily temperature which was
about 35 °C in the period of 10 days. The fibers were separated in the traditional way. Splint
was removed with hand-made crusher. Quality control of fiber, was performed in the
laboratory Saniteks - Velika Kladuša, and was examined length, thickness, weight and
elasticity of the fiber. Length and thickness of the fibers were determined using a micrometer,
brand Stoßgeschützt (Germany), the elasticity was determined by dynamometer brand Instron
1026 (USA), while the weight of the fibers was determined with the help of analytical
balances. In accordance with the applied research plan, for all the studied traits, was
conducted statistical analyzes of variance analysis using the statistical package SPSS version
16.0 trial.

3. Results and Discussion
Attendees were statistically significant differences between the studied varieties for all the
characters (table 1-4). For the purposes of textile fiber length and finesse are the most
important characteristics that determine the quality of the fiber. It is recommended that the
technical stem length be longer than 60 cm (Butorac et al. 2009). During of our research the
resulting values were not lower.
By statistical analysis the significance of the results can be concluded that the differences in
stem length are conditioned with the variety and method of fertilization.

Variety Michael fertilized with T5 has resulted with the longest fibers (34.20 cm), while the
shortest fibers were measured at T1. The hypothesis is rejected at the significance level of
0.01 (F (2) = 40.75, P = 0.000). Differences in the length of the fibers are random and sort
Michael has significantly longer fibers compared to the other two tested varieties and fertilizer
treatments T5 and T4 compared to other treatments. Kocjan and Rijavec (2010) in research
conducted in the area of Bijela Krajina reported that the average length of domestic technical
textile fiber flax was 19 cm. Based on this can be said that the results of this study agree with
the studies mentioned authors, and that the fibers are all tested varieties can be successfully
used in textile industry. The fineness of the fibers is primarily related to the thickness, weight
and elasticity of the fiber (table 3, 4 and 5).

4. Conclusion
After the research and statistical processing of the obtained data, we can conclude that are
present statistically significant differences based on the characteristics of the studied varieties
and fertilizer treatments.
The best results were achieved with the fertilization treatment T5 (organic+bacterial fertilizer).
Based on the analysis of the length, thickness and elasticity of fibers, very good results were
obtained with the cultivar Michael and Belstar, and it can be concluded that these two
varieties are intended for the processing. The variety X has the most tender and shortest fibers,
and it can be concluded that gives better results with bacteriological fertilization.
Therefore, this work is a contribution to the improvement of fiber flax cultivation and
encouragement of this type of cultivation and production in the northwestern part of Bosnia
and Herzegovina, and beyond.

                <text>This work presents the results of research on the impact of organic, minerals, organic and  microbiological fertilizers on characteristics of flax fibers in three different varieties of flax.  The experiment was performed in the municipality of Bosanska Krupa in 2012. The parcel  was set up in randomized block of design with four replications, and the size of the  assessment parcel was 10 m2. All three varieties are sown on the basis of 1000 germinable  seeds per m2. They represented two foreign sorts: Michael, Belstar and domestic sort X. In the  autumn mineral fertilizers were entered in soil in the scale of NPK = 15:15:15, 250 g/20m2, 3  kg/20m2 of manure and 10 l/ha of microbiological fertilizers ''Azoter''. The different  combinations of fertilizers were used: organic fertilizer, microbiological fertilizer,  organic+microbiological fertilizer and control (without fertilization) - for each tested sort. The  research was a multi-factorial (cultivar and method of fertilization). According to the results  obtained during the one-year research, Michael and Belstar varieties have achieved the best  results with organic+bacteriological fertilizer. Fibers got out of Michael and Belstar variety  have better quality, they are longer and harder, which makes them suitable for use in technical  textiles where even coarser fibres get more important. X sort fibres are the shortest and the  thickest, so they give better results with bacteriological fertilizers.

Abstract
Foreign direct investments are regarded as a significant source of investment in developing
countries. However, foreign direct investments may affect domestic investments in different
aspects. They can enforce the domestic firms to crowd out of the sector, or crowd in them.
In this study; the effects of foreign direct investments for developing countries was examined
by means of panel unit root tests and dynamic panel data analysis, within using belonging 35
countries 1992-2010 period data. As an empirical results obtained from the analysis; foreign
direct investments increases domestic investments and has got crowding in effects in
developing countries. In these countries, $1 of foreign direct investment (FDI) causes $2.64
increasing in total investment.
Keywords: Foreign Direct Investment, Crowding in-Crowding out Effects, Developing
Countries.

1. INTRODUCTION
FDI is an investment involving a long-term relationship that control of a resident entity in one
economy is reflecting a lasting interest and in that enterprise resident in an economy other
than that of the foreign direct investor (OECD, 1992). FDI refers to the net inflows of
investment to acquire a lasting management interest, 10 percent or more of voting stock, in an
enterprise operating in an economy other than the investor (World Bank, 1999). These kind
investments involve setting up the factory; purchase domestic firm (including privatization),
joint venture with a local firm, licensing agreements and purchases of real estate.
FDI have significant effects for economies. It can provide a country access to new markets,
cheap production, new technology, alternative products, labor and management skills and
financing (Sun, 1996; Barelli and Pain, 1997; Sun, 1998; Jayaraman, 1998; Borensztein,
Gregoria and Lee, 1998 and Javorcik, 2004).
FDI has come to play a major role in the internationalization of business lately. FDI reached
this volume owing to liberalization policies, new economic integrations, trade acts, tariff
liberalization, thanks to new information technology decline the communication and remote
management costs. FDI flows have increased from $54 billion in the 1980’s to $1244 billion
in 2010. FDI firms exported $6 trillion, which about thirty percent of global exports, created
94

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

added value $7 trillion and supply $33 trillion income to employee in 2010 (UNCTAD-WIR,
2011).
FDI may have some different effects on host country economies. It may cause crowding out
or crowding in of domestic firms from sector. Purpose of this study is to analysis this effect
on developing countries economy. These effects will be analyzed via panel unit root tests and
dynamic panel data analysis method using 35 developing country’s 1992-2010 period data.
2. THEORETICAL FRAMEWORK
FDI can affect investments of domestic firms via its own investment activities in various
ways. Some of the positive and negative effects of FDI on domestic investment are regarded.
Impact of FDI on domestic investments may determine according to its complementarity and
substitution features. While FDI producing substitute goods, it may crowding out especially
inefficient domestic firms; on the other hand FDI will crowding in domestic investment that
producing complementary goods or it will uses row material from domestic market (Buffie,
1993).
If there are FDIs’ crowds out effects on the domestic investments; one unit FDI increases will
lead to increase of total investment in the host country smaller than one unit. On the other
hand, if FDI has got crowds in effects on the domestic investment, one unit FDI increases will
lead to more than one unit increase of total investment in the host country. If the effect is
neutral, a unit FDI increases causes a unit increases on total investment (Misun and Tomsik,
2002).
Crowding out effects of FDI may takes place when foreign and domestic firms are in the same
industry. When FDI has come to a sector which included intensive domestic activities, the
firms that will compete and domestic firms cannot stand this competition, and will be
crowded out of sector. If the FDI goes towards the indigenous sectors, which there is less
investment in this sector, through increase the volume of trading and market in this sector, it
will be crowding in the domestic firms in this sector (De Mello, 1999).
2.1. Mathematical Framework of Crowding In and Crowding Out Effects
For analysis this effects of FDI may beginning with a simple equation where investment in a
country is the sum of domestic investment (Id) and FDI: 13

I  I d  FDI
(1)
From the point of view of the recipient country, FDI can be considered to be an exogenous
variable (because it depends on conditions in the world economy, Transnational Corporations
(TNCs) strategies, etc.).
Domestic investment is depending on the domestic revenue (GDP). The model simply maybe
arranged as follows:
I d    1GDP
By replacing (2) in (1), a model for total investment was obtained:

(2)

13 UNCTAD-WIR, (1999) has been followed here and the model has been extended by the authors.

95

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

I    1GDP  FDI

(3)

The model of equation (3) assumes that FDI has no macroeconomic externalities on domestic
investment and that, therefore, one dollar of FDI becomes one dollar of investment. Since the
purpose of the exercise is to verify whether these externalities exist and, if they do, whether
they are positive of negative, a more general formulation is used:

I    1GDP  2 FDI

(4)

An empirical finding that β2&gt; 1 is evidence for crowding in while β2&lt; 1 is evidence for
crowding out. While investors are investing not only current year, but also look at the past
years’ economic growth rate. So investments dynamic process can expand as follows:
p

j 1

j 0

I i ,t  i    j Fi ,t  j    j Ii ,t  j    j Gi ,t  j   i ,t

(5)

Where I = investment; F = FDI; G = growth of GDP;  is the fixed country effects and  is a
serially uncorrelated random error.
That long-term crowding in and crowding out will be tested with this the relevant coefficient
is:
p

The criterion used to determine crowding in or crowding out is the value and significance of
ˆLT . Wald test constraints: If ˆLT =1, means that foreign direct investment caused neither
crowding in effect nor crowding out effect on domestic investment, that is neutral (N) effect.
ˆ
An increase of one unit FDI will make a total investment also increased one unit; If LT ＞1,
means that FDI caused crowding-in effect on domestic investment, that a unit of FDI can
ˆ
bring more than one unit of total investment; If LT ＜1, means that foreign direct investment
caused crowding-out effect on domestic investment, that a unit of increase in FDI to the total
increase in investment is less than one unit of.
3. SITUATIONIN DEVELOPING COUNTRIES
Global foreign direct investment (FDI) flows realized to $1.24 trillion in 2010. UNCTAD
estimates that global FDI will recover to its pre-crisis level in 2011, increasing to $1.4–1.6
trillion. Some of the poorest regions continued to see declines in FDI flows. Flows to Africa,
least developed countries, landlocked developing countries and small island developing states
all declined, as flows to South Asia. At the same time, major emerging regions, such as East
and South-East Asia and Latin America experienced strong growth in FDI inflows
(UNCTAD-WIR, 2011).
International production is expanding, with foreign sales, employment and assets of TNCs all
increasing. TNCs’ production worldwide generated value-added of approximately $16 trillion
in 2010, about a quarter of global GDP. Foreign affiliates of TNCs accounted for more than

According to Table 1, while FDI in developing countries increasing, decreasing in
developed countries. For the first time, developing and transition economies together attracted
more than half of global FDI flows. Outward FDI from those economies also reached record
highs, with most of their investment directed towards other countries in the South. In contrast,
FDI inflows to developed countries continued to decline. The distribution of FDI among for
2010 year top 20 developing countries is shown in Table 2.

4. LITERATURE
There have been many studies for of FDI effects on domestic investment in the economics
literature. In these studies reached different conclusions. Summary of these studies are given
in order of date of construction.
Lubitz (1966), studied relating to Canada and found a big effect FDI to domestic investment
that: $1 of FDI led to $3 of capital formation in host country. Similarly Van Loo, (1977),
studied again on Canada with 1948-1966 periods data and found that: $1 of FDI led to $1.4
of capital formation in host.
Borensztein, et al, (1998), studied of the impact of FDI on domestic investment, utilizing data
on FDI flows from developed countries to 69 developing countries on a yearly basis from
1970 to 1989, has found, that FDI has stimulated domestic investments; one dollar net inflow
of FDI increases total investment in the host economy between 1.5 and 2.3 times the increase
in the flow of FDI.

Chudnovsky, Lopez and Porta (1996), found crowding out effect in the case of Latin America,
where the development of domestic subcontractors was part and parcel of the privatization
agreement with foreign investors. Intel built a large microprocessor plant in Costa Rica and
contributed to domestic capital formation. This investment as such didn’t displace local
entrepreneurs, because they hadn’t got exist, even potentially. Intel affiliate gave rise to
investments by about 40 local suppliers. But there were some complaints by local business
people that Intel's investment crowds them out of the labor market by absorbing skilled
programmers.
Jomo (1997), studied for Indonesia, Malaysia, and Thailand, which relied heavily on FDI and
TNCs have invested in new industries of the economies of those countries mainly
microelectronics-related toys and other consumer goods for export markets, initially many of
the FDIs where with few linkages to the rest of the economy, domestic suppliers of services
and inputs have emerged in time, and FDI crowding in a lot of firms in this industries.
UNCTAD-WIR (1999), including an econometric study for FDIs’ effects on domestic
investments. This study covers 39 developing countries’ 1970-1996 period data by means of
panel data analysis. The results with respect to the effects of FDI on investment by individual
countries show that neutral effects dominate while the number of crowding in and crowding
out cases were equal: the former were found in 19 countries and the latter in 10 countries
each. As regards regional patterns, out of the 12 Latin American countries included in the test,
none was in the group with crowding-in effects and none of the 12 Asian countries was in the
crowding-out group: while neutral and crowding in effects prevailed in Asia, neutral and
crowding out effects prevailed in Latin America.
Agosin and Mayer (2000), studied for Asia, Africa and Latin America country via panel data
analysis and found that: while there were complementary relationship between investments in
Asia and Africa countries, there were substitution relationship in Latin American countries.
Driffield and Hughes (2003), found of FDIs complementarity and creation on the heap
economy features’. According to Backer and Sleuwaegen (2003), in the context of
occupational choice models, FDI declining the power of local entrepreneurs. But, FDI
increases the domestic investments through networking, chain and learning effects.
Agosin and Machado (2005), studied of the impact of FDI on domestic investment via
econometric methods and found FDI hadn’t got a positive effect on domestic investment.
Apergis, Katrakilidis and Tabakis (2006), with panel study involving 30 countries found that:
FDI had got complementary relationship between domestic investment in the single-variable
model, whereas, in the context ofa multivariate model was obtained from the substitutional
relationship. Lin and Chuang (2007), tested this effects for Taiwan economy, found that FDI
have got important effects on domestic investments. According to them, FDI crowding out to
little domestic firms and crowding in the big domestic firms.
Ang (2009), studied of the impact of FDI on domestic investment for Malaysia through VAR
analysis using 1960-2003 periods data and found that: $1 FDI increase the domestic
investments $1.25. Therefore, FDI involves crowding in effects in Malaysian economy.
Gan and Gao (2010), studied of the impact of FDI on domestic investment for China via panel
data analysis methods using 1992-2007 periods data and found that: $1 FDI increase the
domestic investment in central region $4.08 and $5.88 in Shanxi region. So, FDI have got
crowding in effects in China economy.

5. EMPIRICAL ANALYSIS
5.1. Data Set
A balanced panel of 665 annual observations from 35 developing countries over the period
1992-2010 was used in this study. The sample of countries represents all major regions in the
world as FDI attracting in 2010. It includes 11 countries from Latin America and Caribbean,
11 from Asia and the Pacific, 10 from Africa and 3 from economies in transition. Investment,
Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) are these studies’
variables. Data set was obtained from World Bank, UNCTAD and IMF. All data currency is
US dollar. I = investment to GDP ratio; F = FDI to GDP ratio; G = growth of Real GDP.
5.2. Method
For this study data set included in the dynamic processes, dynamic panel data analysis method
was used. Dynamic panel data analysis method is taken into consideration dynamic structure
between the dependent and independent variables (Baltagi, 1995). In addition to use of panel
data in estimating ensures control for missing or unobserved variables and relationships allow
identification of country-specific effects (Arellano-Bond, 1991; Matyas and Sevestre, 1996).
The dynamic panel allows dynamic effects to be introduced into the model and allows
feedback from current or past shocks (Hsiao, 1986). This approach requires that N&gt;T (Hahn,
1997) and N and T must be very big (Hsiao, 2003: 75).Simple equation of dynamic panel data
is:
yit   yi ,t 1   xit  i  uit

(7)


x
for i=1,2,...,N; and t=1,2,...,T.  is a scalar, it is kx1, it denotes the i-th individuals effect
u
and it is the remainder disturbance.
In this study, along dynamic panel data estimation methods the technique Generalized Method
of Moments (GMM) was used.GMM procedures are more efficient than other estimators
Arellano and Bond (1991). The resulting GMM estimator is asymptotically efficient (Baltagi,
1995). GMM estimators use all possible lagged values of dependent and independent
variables as instrumental variable (Arellano and Bond 1991). Sargan test is used to determine
if instrumental variables of the GMM are suitable (Greene, 2003).
The Sargan test is a test of the validity of instrumental variables. The Sargan test based on the
Arellano and Bond (1991) instrument set for the first differenced equations exhibits a zero
rejection frequency under both the null hypothesis and alternative hypothesis (Bowsher,
2002). The Sargan test is based on the observation that the residuals should be uncorrelated
with the set of exogenous variables if the instruments are truly exogenous. It is a test of the
over identifying restrictions. Hypotheses are:
H0: Instrumental variables are exogenous (Moment conditions are valid).
H1: Instrumental variables aren’t exogenous (Moment conditions are invalid).
The hypothesis tested with the Sargan-J statistic. This statistic will be asymptotically chisquared (  ) with m-k degrees of freedom. m is instrumental variables number and k is
number of the parameter. If the obtained test statistic probability value greater than 0.05, null
hypotheses will accepted. Therefore, instrumental variables are uncorrelated to residuals, and
2

99

�3rd International Symposium on Sustainable Development, May 31 - June 01 2012, Sarajevo

therefore they are acceptable, instruments are healthy. If the obtained test statistic probability
value smaller than 0.05, H0 will be rejected and instrumental variables are unacceptable.
5.3. Panel Unit Root Test
Panel unit root testing is accepted more strong for only the time dimension of time series unit
root tests. Since it covers the data of both time and cross-sectional size (Im, Pesaran and Shin,
1997; Maddala and Wu, 1999; Taylor and Sarno, 1998; Levin and Lin, 1992; Hadri, 2000;
Choi, 2001; Levin, Lin and Chu, 2002; Breuer and Wallace, 2002; Carrion-i-Silvestre, 2005;
Pesaran, 2006; Beyaert and Camacho, 2008). At the same time, the addition of cross-sectional
size of the analysis, increased variability in the data.
The first problem encountered in the panel unit root tests are whether or not independent of
each cross-section. Panel unit root tests are divided into first generation and second generation
tests. While Breitung (2000), Hadri (2000) and Levin, Lin and Chu (2002) based on the
assumption of a homogeneous model; Im, Pesaran and Shin (2003), Maddala and Wu (1999),
Choi (2001) based on the assumption of a heterogeneous model.
In this study; Im, Pesaran and Shin (2003) (IPS) test will be used since the countries aren’t
homogeneous. IPS test is based on this model:
pj

Yit   iYi ,t 1   ij Yi ,t  j   X it   it

(8)

j 1

 1

for i=1,2,...,N; and t=1,2,...,T. i is a error correction model. If i
(or unit root test
probability value&lt;0.05) serial is trend stationary, or else it has got unit root and not stationary.

According to the Table 3, all series are stationary in level values. So this means analyzes to be
performed in this series is reliable.

White Period method was used to correct the standard errors. Sargan test was used to
determine whether the instruments are suitable or not by using J-statistic and instrument rank.
In this way found the p-value=0.208. This result is bigger than 0.05. Thus decided to
instruments are suitable and analysis results are reliable.
Long-term investment coefficient calculated using equation (6) and found it 2.64. This result
shows; in developing country, $1of FDI creates $2.64 in total investments. As result of FDI
increases domestic investment and it has got crowding in effect in the developing country.
This is a very high degree. Countries, which wishing to increase their domestic investments,
should utilize from this source.
6. CONCLUSIONS
There are different opinions about the effects of FDI on domestic investment in economics
literature. Some economics believe that, FDI reduces domestic investment and it has got
crowding out effects. Other claim FDI increases domestic investment and it has got crowding
in effects. The main purpose of this study is to analyze these effects in developing countries.
For this purpose, using data from 1992-2010 for 35 developing countries a dynamic panel
data analysis was performed. As an empirical results obtained from the analysis; FDI
increases domestic investment and has got crowding in effects in developing countries. $1of
dollar FDI leads to an increase $2.64 total investment in these countries. This value is very
high; FDI for the emerging countries shows how important it is. Therefore, countries, which
wishing to increase their domestic investments, absolutely should utilize from this source.
As a result, if a country wants to accelerate its developing pace; it tries to attract more FDI its
country. The same time governments should take necessary measures for foreign investments
attributes and qualities.

Abstract
The aim of this study is to examine women’s role in economic development from a historical
perspective. Many classical economists considered women to be irrational as economic
agents. They took it for granted that women were paid less than men. Feminist economists
criticise traditional-neoclassical economics claiming that conceptual basis for the mainstream
economic knowledge is gender discrimination and women’s experiences are not reflected in
economics. For this reason, they suggest that economic horizon be broadened by reviewing
and questioning economics, including women’s perspective.
Towards the end of the 1980s, the concept of human development was improved and United
Nations Development Programme (UNDP) started working under the name of Human
Development Index (HDI) in order to measure the development levels of countries. In the
same way, studies on the elimination of gender-related inequality that is one of the new
dimensions of development concept were started by UNDP. In this context, Gender-Related
Development Index (GDI) was developed. Furthermore, Gender Empowerment Measure
(GEM) has been emerged to measure the distribution and participation of women in the

enterprise resident in an economy other than that of the foreign direct
investor (OECD, 1992). FDI refers to the net inflows of investment to
acquire a lasting management interest, 10 percent or more of voting stock,
in an enterprise operating in an economy other than the investor (World
Bank, 1999). These kinds of investments involve setting up the factory;
purchasing a domestic firm and privatisation, joint venture with a local
firm, licensing agreements and purchases real estate.
FDI have significant effects on economies. It can provide a country with
access to new markets, cheap production, new technology, alternative
products, labour and management skills and financing (Sun, 1996; Barelli
and Pain, 1997; Sun, 1998; Jayaraman, 1998; Borensztein, Gregoria and
Lee, 1998 and Javorcik, 2004).
FDI has recently begun to play a major role in the internationalisation of
business. FDI reached this volume due to liberalisation policies, new
economic integrations, trade acts, tariff liberalisation, thanks to new
information technology that negates communication and remote
management costs.
FDI may have different effects on host country economies. It may cause
crowding out or crowding in of domestic firms from the sector. The
purpose of this study is to analyse these effects on developing countries.
These effects will be analysed via the dynamic panel data analysis method
using the 1992-2010 period data from 30 developing countries.
Theoretical Framework
The impacts of the FDI on domestic investments are determined by the
complementarily and substitution features. While FDI producing
substitute goods, it may cause crowding out, especially of inefficient
domestic firms; conversely FDI will cause crowding in of domestic
investment that produces complementary good so it will use row material
from the domestic market (Van, 1977; Buffie, 1993).
If FDI have got crowding out effects on domestic investments, a unit FDI
leads to an increase of total investment in the host country smaller than
one unit. Conversely, if FDI have got crowding in effects on the domestic
investment, one unit of FDI increase will lead to more than one unit
increase of total investment in the host country. If the effect is neutral, a
unit FDI increases causes a unit increases on total investment (Misun and
Tomsik, 2002).

�Effect of Foreign Direct Investments on the Domestic Investments of Developing
Countries: A Dynamic Panel Data Analysis

Crowding out effects of FDI may take place when foreign and domestic
firms are in the same industry. When FDI comes to a sector that includes
intensive domestic activities, domestic firms cannot with stand the
resulting competition and they will be crowded out of the sector (Driffield
and Hughes, 2003). If the FDI go towards the indigenous sectors, which
there are less investment in this sector, through increase in the volume of
trading and market in this sector, they will be crowding in the domestic
firms in this sector (De Mello, 1999).
FDI positively effects domestic investments by means of its investments to
factor markets, because they increase revenues of domestic firms and
factory owners (Cardoso and Dornbusch, 1989). The positive externality
and the spreading tendency of FDI empower domestic investors (Kim and
Seo, 2003). To sum up, foreign investment by creating new markets,
increasing the demand for inputs, supply new technologies will creates pill
over effects and domestic investment will stimulate the economy (Cotton
and Ramachandran, 2001: 1).
Conversely, FDI increases wages and the price of inputs in the host
country and this causes a decrease in the use of input and employment
and leads to crowding out (Apergis, Katrakilidis and Tabakis, 2006).
When the technological differences between foreign and domestic
investors are on a large scale and there are few skilled labour; FDI will
enforce the domestic firms to crowd out (Kokko, 1994; Aitken and
Harrison, 1999).
For analysis of crowding in and crowding out effects of FDI, we can begin
with a simple modelii where investment (INV) in a country is the sum of
domestic investment (INVd) and FDI;

Domestic investment depends on the Gross Domestic Product (GDP) and
domestic interest rate (INT). The model maybe arranged as follows:

By replacing (2) in (1) a model for total investment was obtained:

In the equation (3) it is assumed that FDI haven’t got any macroeconomic
externalities on domestic investment. Therefore, FDI have a neutral effect.
75

�İsmet Göçer, Mehmet Mercan, Osman Peker

Since the equation (3) is rearranged in order to determine the effect of
externalities:

While investors are investing not only the current year, but also look at the
past years’ economic growth rate. Therefore the investment dynamic
process can expand as follows:
(5)

Here p is the optimum lagiii. Weather long term crowding in and crowding
out effects will be tested with this relevant coefficient:

If
, means that FDI haveacrowding in effect on domestic
investment that a unit of FDI can bring more than one unit of total
investment. If
, it means that FDI haveacrowding out effect on
domestic investment that a unit of increase in FDI to the total increase in
investment is less than one unit.
There have been many studies on the FDI effects on domestic investment
in the economy literature. These studies have reached different
conclusions. Lubitz (1966) determined a significant effect of FDI on
domestic investments in Canada and found that; $1 of FDI led to $3 of
capital formation in the host country. Similarly, Van Loo (1977) studied
Canada with 1948-1966 period data and found that; $1 of FDI led to $1.4
of capital formation in the host country. Borensztein, et al, (1998), tested
these effects on69 developing countries for the 1970 to 1989 period and
founded that FDI has encouraged domestic investments. Jomo (1997)
studied for Indonesia, Malaysia and Thailand the mainly
microelectronics-related toys and other consumer goods and determined
that FDI has crowding in effects in these industries. Massimiliano and
Massimiliano (2003) tested the relationship between economic growth,
domestic investment and FDI inward in Korea for the 1970 to 1989 period.
They found that FDI has some positive effects on domestic investments.
Ang (2009) studied the impact of FDI on domestic investment for
Malaysia through VAR analysis using 1960-2003 periods and found that;
$1 FDI increase domestic investments $1.25. Therefore, FDI involves
crowding in effects in the Malaysian economy. Gan and Gao (2010)

studied the impact of FDI on domestic investment for China via panel data
analysis methods using 1992-2007 period data and found that: $1 FDI
increase the domestic investment in central region $4.08 and $5.88 in
Shanxi region. So, FDI have got crowding in effects in China economy.
Agosin and Machado (2005), studied of the impact of FDI on domestic
investments and found FDI don’t have a positive effect on domestic
investment. Apergis, Katrakilidis and Tabakis (2006), with a panel study
involving 30 countries found that; FDI have crowding in effects in the
single-variable model, but have crowding out effects in the multivariate
model. Lin and Chuang (2007) tested the effects for the Taiwan economy
and found FDI crowding out to little domestic firms and crowding in the
big domestic firms.
Agosin and Mayer (2000) conducted an econometric study on the effects
of FDI on domestic investments. This study covers the 1970-1996 period
data for 39 developing countries by means of panel data analysis. They
found that; while there was crowding in effects in Asia and Africa
countries, while there was crowding out effects in Latin American
countries. Driffield and Hughes (2003) found FDI have crowding in
effects. According to Backer and Sleuwaegen (2003), in the context of
occupational choice models, FDI declines the power of local
entrepreneurs. However, FDI increases domestic investments through
networking, chains and learning effects. Acar et al. (2012) have seen that
FDI have crowding out effects in MENA countries.
FDI in Developing Countries
Global FDI flows increased from $54 billion in the 1980’s to $1.524 trillion
in 2011. Emerging regions, such as East and South-East Asia and Latin
America experienced strong growth in FDI inflows (UNCTAD, 2012). FDI
has changed course and has been directed towards developing countries in
recent years. Table 1 shows the distribution of FDI in the economies.

According to Table 1, while FDI inflows are increasing in developing
countries, they are decreasing in developed countries. Developing and
transition economies together attracted more than half of global FDI
flows. Most FDI attracting developing countries in 2011are shown in Table

�Effect of Foreign Direct Investments on the Domestic Investments of Developing
Countries: A Dynamic Panel Data Analysis

Source: UNCTADSTAT.
According to Table 2, China was the best FDI attracter among developing
countries in 2011. China and Hong Kong’s share is 13.5% of the world.
Other countries are following them. Turkey attracted $15.8 billion FDI in
2011.
Empirical Analysis
Data Set
A balanced panel of 570 annual observations from 30 developing
countries over the period of 1992-2010 was used in this study. The sample
of countries represents all major regions in the world as FDI attracting in
2010. It includes 11 countries from Latin Americaiv and the Caribbean, 9
from Asiav and the Pacific, 8 from Africavi and 2 from economies in
transitionvii. Investment (INV), Gross Domestic Product (GDP), Foreign
Direct Investment (FDI) and Interest Rate (INT) are the study variables.
All data currency is US dollars. INV represents investment to GDP ratio;
FDI represents FDI to GDP ratio; G represents growth of real GDP. The
data set was obtained from the World Bank, UNCTAD and IMF.
Method
For this study data set included in the dynamic processes, the dynamic
panel data analysis method was used. The dynamic panel data analysis
method takes into consideration the dynamic structure between the
dependent and independent variables (Baltagi, 1995). In addition, use of
panel data in estimating ensures control for missing or unobserved
variables and relationships allow identification of country-specific effects
(Arellano-Bond, 1991; Matyas and Sevestre, 1996). The dynamic panel
allows dynamic effects to be introduced into the model and allows
feedback from current or past shocks (Hsiao, 1986). A simple equation of
dynamic panel data model is (Hsiao, 2003: 75):
(7)

for i=1,2,...,N; and t=1,2,...,T.  is a scalar, xit is kx1, it denotes the ith
individuals effect and uit is the error term of regression.
In this study, among dynamic panel data estimation methods the
Generalised Method of Moments (GMM) technique was used. GMM
79

procedures are more efficient than other estimators (Arellano and Bond,
1991). The resulting GMM estimator is asymptotically efficient (Baltagi,
1995). GMM estimators use all possible lagged values of dependent and
independent variables as instrumental variable (Arellano and Bond, 1991).
There are three GMM methods; level GMM, difference GMM and system
GMM. System GMM was used in this study.
The crucial point here is that variables must be endogenous in order to
useGMM. For this reason, before beginning the analysis, a test of
endogeneityis required. For this purpose; Durbin’s score (1954) and WuHausman (Wu, 1974; Hausman, 1978) tests can be used. These hypotheses
would be expressed as:
H0: Variables are exogenous
H1: Variables are endogenous
If H0 is rejected, variables are endogenous. In this case, using the GMM is
suitable.
The Sargan test used to determine whether instrumental variables of the
GMM are suitable (Greene, 2003).These hypotheses would be expressed
as:
H0: Moment conditions are valid.
H1: Moment conditions are invalid.
The hypothesis tested with the Sargan-J statistic. This statistic will be
asymptotically chi-squared (  2 ) with m-k degrees of freedom. m is the
number of instrumental variables and k is the number of the parameter. If
the null hypothesis is accepted, instrumental variables are suitable.
Arellano and Bond (1991) developed an autocorrelation test for GMM. The
Arellano–Bond test for autocorrelation is actually valid for any GMM
regression on panel data (Roodman, 2009). These hypotheses would be
expressed as:
H0: No Autocorrelation
H1: Autocorrelation

Countries: A Dynamic Panel Data Analysis

Panel Unit Root Test
Panel unit root testing is more widely accepted for only the time
dimension of time series unit root tests, since it covers the data of both
time and cross-sectional size (Im, Pesaran and Shin, 1997; Maddala and
Wu, 1999; Taylor and Sarno, 1998; Levin and Lin, 1992; Hadri, 2000;
Choi, 2001; Levin, Lin and Chu, 2002; Breuer and Wallace, 2002;
Carrion-i-Silvestre, 2005; Pesaran, 2006; Beyaert and Camacho, 2008).
At the same time, the addition of the cross-sectional size of the analysis
increases the variation in the data.
The first problem encountered in the panel unit root tests is whether each
cross-section is independent or not. Panel unit root tests are divided into
first generation and second generation tests. While Breitung (2000),
Hadri (2000) and Levin, Lin and Chu (2002) based their studies on the
assumption of a homogeneous model; Im, Pesaran and Shin (2003),
Maddala and Wu (1999), Choi (2001) based their studies on the
assumption of a heterogeneous model.
In this study; the Im, Pesaran and Shin (2003) (IPS) test will be used,
since the countries aren’t homogeneous. The IPS test is based on this
model:

Variables

According to the Table 3, all series are stationary in level values. This
means that analysis performed in this series is reliable and equation (6)
can be used.
The Endogeneity Test
In this study, the Durbin (score) (1954) and Wu (1974)-Hausman (1978)
endogeneity test was used. Hypotheses of these tests are as follows:
H0: Variables are exogenous
H1: Variables are endogenous
Endogeneity test was applied by Stata 11 and obtained results are
presented in Table 4.

�Effect of Foreign Direct Investments on the Domestic Investments of Developing
Countries: A Dynamic Panel Data Analysis

According to Table 5; as a result of the Wald tests, it was seen the model is
meaningful. According to the Sargan tests, it was decided that instruments
are suitable. In autocorrelation tests, there are no second order
autocorrelation problems in these models. Based on these findings,
analysis results are significant and reliable.
Long term investment coefficients found for the whole panel were 0.79,
for Asia 4.67, for Latin American and the Caribbean 1.34 and for Africa
0.81. These results show; in a developing country, $1of FDI increases total
investments $0.79 in the home country. This value smaller than 1.
Therefore, FDI has a crowding out effect in these developing countries.
However, in Asian countries $1of FDI increases total investments $4.67 in
the home country and FDI has crowding in effects. $1of FDI increases
total investments $1.34 in Latin American and Caribbean countries and
FDI has crowding in effects. However in African countries $1of FDI
increases total investments $0.81 and it has a crowding out effect.
Conclusions
There are different opinions about the effects of FDI on domestic
investment in economics literature. Some economists admit that FDI
reduces domestic investment and it has crowding out effects. In other
words, FDI increases domestic investment and it has crowding in effects.
The main purpose of this study is to analyse these effects in developing
countries.
For this purpose, using data from 1992-2010 for 30 developing countries,
a dynamic panel data analysis was performed. According to the empirical
results; FDI increases domestic investment and has crowding out effects
in developing countries. $1 increase in FDI leads to an increase of $0.79
total investment for these countries. This result is similar to Chudnovsky,
Lopez and Porta (1996); Agosin and Machado (2005) and Lin and Chuang
(2007). In analysis carried out for country groups, different results were
obtained. In Asian countries, $1 FDI increases total investments by $4.67
in the home country and FDI has crowding in effects. $1 FDI increases
total investments $1.34 in Latin American and the Caribbean countries
and FDI has crowding in effects. These results are compatible with Lubitz
(1966); Van Loo, (1977); Borensztein, et al, (1998), Massimiliano and
Massimiliano, (2003); Ang, (2009) and Gan and Gao (2010). However, in
African countries $1 FDI increases total investments by $0.81 and it has a
crowding out effect.
The findings of the study suggest that; differences in results among
different country groups related with the FDI policies implemented, trade

openness ratio, human capital adequacy and to the extent that domestic
firms are ready for international competition. For example, it is a fact that
Asian countries, including China, have been providing tax advantages,
easing administrative procedures for foreign investors and establishing
free trade zones in order to accelerate economic development improve the
capital and technology capacity and attract more FDI. Owing to such
policies, foreign investments have been attracted and domestic firms have
been protected.
As a result, FDI has a significant effect on the total investment level in
developing countries. If a country wants to accelerate its development
process it should take the necessary measures to improve factors such as
taxes and social security contributions, as well as inflexibilities in the
labour market to attract more FDI.

Abstract: Artichoke is one of the important vegetable crops in Mediterranean countries
including Turkey. In our country, while artichoke production was undertaken in Đzmir, Bursa
and Yalova until 10 years ago, its area of production has broadened to include southern cities
such as Antalya and Muğla. As early artichoke production, especially in Antalya region, is
profitable for farmers, demand for growing this crop has increased. The present study
investigated the effect of gibberellic acid application times (0, 1, 2, 3 and 4) on earliness and
production of A-106 artichoke cultivar. The plants were grown in West Mediterrrenean
Agricultural Research Institute in 2007-2008. The results show that GA3 applications are very
effective to promote earliness in A-106 cultivar. it
Keywords: GA3 application, time, artichoke, A-106 and earliness.

Introduction
Artichoke is a vegetable whose forebear is thistle and is included in Cynara cenus in botanical
classifying, which belongs to the Asteraceae family, and it is perannual, in rozetta shape. It is declared in
literature that the home of this vegetable, which can be seen in Mediterranean basin, is middle and west
Mediterranean and has firstly been consumed by the Romansin 1979 B.C. (Anonymous a 2008; Graifeirberg ve
ark. 1995; Lanteri ve ark. 2001; Stamigna 2001; Hill 2001).
In our country artichoke is grown by vegetative propagation and especially in Aegean and Mediterranean
regions with our standard types for a long time. However,taking more and early products from unit area has
been the main objective, as the other branches of agriculture where the production costincreases day by day. In
this context, our region, especially Antalya and neighbours, has many advantages in earliness as in many other
kinds of fruit and vegetables. Until a few years ago, it wasn’t possible to see other plantations that were
established by other types than Sakız and Bayrampaşa. In the last years, the number of plantations that are
established with hybrid artichoke cultivarsthat are produced by seed have increased. Production by seed has an
important disadvantage, lateness, besides many important advantages like productivity, resistance to
diseases(especially Verticillium spp. ve Fusarium spp.) and profitability (Macua ve ark. 2000; Gil ve ark. 2003;
Calabrese ve ark. 2004; Bianco 2000).
The elimination oflateness has an importance in production by seed if artichoke is going to be grown in
Mediterranean region of our country, especially in Antalya where earliness is ofimportance.
Artichoke needs vernelization 250 hours under 7 C to form a head (although changing from cultivar to
cultivar). Foury ve Pecaut 1988; Welbaum 1994; Basnizki ve Goldschmidt 1994; Hill 2001). The effects of GA3
applications in artichoke on earliness and productivity has been known and applicated for a long time. It has
been declared in many scientific works that GA3 applications has taken the place of colding need for head
forming in many cultivars (Gerakis ve ark.,1969; Snyder ve ark.1971; Kocer ve Eser 1999; Miguel ve ark.,1997;
Miguel ve ark.,2004; Ercan ve ark.2004).
The effects of hormone applications on seed propagated artichoke cultivars depend on date of
plantation, time of application, number of application, dosage of application, and cultivar. (Welbaum 1994;
Schrader, 1992; Elia ve ark., 1994; Mauromicale ve Ierna 1995; Miguel ve ark., 1997; Calabrese ve Bianco
2000; Mauromicale ve Ierna 2000; Goreta ve ark.,2004; Eldin ve ark., 2007).
Mauromicale ve Ierna (2000) has decided thatthe head characteristics of Orlando and Sicilia artichoke
cultivars change by hormon applications.

Calabrese (2000) examined the early productivity of 8 hybrid artichoke types which are produced by
seed in Southern Italy. It has been decided that the period between seeding and harvest is 97-120 days. It is
declared in the studies of these investigators that productivity changes according to cultivars between 1.75/2.20
ton/ha. These results show that artichoke types that are produced by seed can be grown in October-May like
othertypes which are grown in early classical ways.

Material
In this study A-106 artichoke cultivar, which is included in Cynara cenus which belongs to Asteraceae
family, has been used as plant material. A-106 artichoke cultivaris atype which is early,has a low vernelization
need, with much productivity,which form qualified heads, and has many puple brakte leaves.
This study was conducted between the years 2007-2008 in a artichoke plantation situated in West
Mediterrenean Agricultural Research Institutein Antalya-Turkey (360 56 N', 300 51' E).

Metod
In thisresearch itis aimed to determine the most suitable GA3 application time for A-106 artichoke for
earliness.Inthisresearch 4th,6th and 8th weeks aftertransferring to soilisselected asthe firstapplication time for
vegetable development regulatory. 25 ppm GA3 applications were made to the plants by spraying. Only water is
sprayed to the plants that have been selected as the control group. In this study following criteria have been
examined:
1. Number of days from transferto soil until harvest(earliness)
Number of days from transferring the vegetables to soil until harvest is an important criteria in
determining the effectiveness of the applications on earliness.
2. Head weight (g)
Differences among the applications are determined by weighing the heads attime of harvest.
3. Head length (mm)
Differences among the applications are determined by measuring the length of heads attime of harvest.
4. Head diameter (mm)
Differences among the application are determined by measuring the diameter of heads attime of harvest.
5. Productivity (kg/da)
Productivity in da is calcuted in kg by the productivity per vegetable.
All application groups were laid out with four replications and 10 plantsin each replicantsinthe randomised
block experimental design. Data were subjectto analysis of variance by SAS statistical program (SAS Institute,
Version 7) and means were compared by LSD’s (Least Significant Differences)test at 0.05 significance levels.

Results and Discussion
In this research, where the affects of GA3 application times on A-106 artichoke cultivar on earliness,
productivity and head quality is examined,itis determined that hormone applications have important affects on
all criteriathat have been examined, compared to the control vegetables with no applications.
Although depending on the application time of hormone, average 1,5 months of earliness is provided at
the vegetables with applications. The earliest harvest atthe GA3 application made atthe 4th week happened at
the 98. day aftertransferring to soil. The latest harvest happened at 140. day atthe control group with the plants
with no hormone application.At other application times these periods were very close, between 100-110 days.
The effects of hormon application times on productivity is shown at Figure 1. As it can be seen in
Figure 1, the effects of the applications are found statistically significant. The effects of application times on
productivity changed between 1.12-1.88 t/da;the highest productivity was determined atthe GA3 application on
the 4. week as 1.88 t/da, and it is followed by the application at 6. week and the control apllication at the 8.
week. The effects of applications on productivity is found to be more succesfulin all applications than control.
Our trialresults are in accordance with many other investigators.In many studies where the effects of hormone
application times on artichoke are examined,itis reported that hormone application times increase productivity
significantly.(Esteva ve Ayala, 2004; Ercan ve ark. 2004;Gil ve ark. 1998; Goreta ve ark.2004)
Besides,the effects of hormone application times on head quality (head weight, head width and length)
are examined and the results are presented in Figure 2. The effects of the applications on the head quality are

different. As a result of the statistical evaluations it is determined that the all hormone apllication times have
important effects on all quality criteria that are examined, compared to the control group. Furthermore, the
effects of hormone application times on head quality (head weight, head width and length) are examined in this
study and the results are presented at Figure 2. The effects ofthe applications made on head quality are different.
For example,the highest head weightisfound to be 423 g atthe 4th week,thelowest head weightis 410 g atthe
heads atthe control group. Head weight values determined at other hormone application times took place in the
same group statistically with the 4th week applications. The highest value of head width was found in the heads
with hormone applications on 4th week. The highest head height is found at the vegetables with hormon
applications on 8th week. The effect of GA3 applications on head length can be explained by the fostering of the
G A’s to the cellsfor growing.
In this study, where the effects of GA3 application times on earliness, productivity and head quality of
A-106 artichoke cultivar is examined, considering all the criteria investigated it can be said that the optimum
G A3 application time isthe 4th week aftertransferring the vegetablesto soil.
