Poisson Regresyon Uygulaması: Türkiye deki Grevlerin Belirleyicileri 1964 - 1998

This study applies a Poisson regression model to annual Turkish strikes data of the period of 1964-1998. The Poisson regression model is preferable when the dependent variable is count data. Economical and social variables are used as determinants of the number of strikes. Empirical results show that the unemployment rate and a dummy variable that takes 0 before 1980 1 otherwise are significantly affects the number of strikes.
