The Evaluation Of Macroeconomic Impact Of Free Zones: Turkey Case

Abstract

Geçmişi iki bin yıl önce Anadolu topraklarında kurulmuş olan serbest ticaret bölgelerine dayanan serbest bölgelerin modern örneklerinin kuruldukları ülkelerin ekonomilerine yaptıkları katkılar; son kırk yıldır bilimsel araştırmalara konu olmaktadır. Ülkemizde de 1988 yılından itibaren kurulmaya başlanan serbest bölgelerin sayısı geçen yirmi yılda, yirmiye ulaşmıştır. Bu çalışmada ülkemizdeki serbest bölgelerin, ekonomiye katkısı, kuruluş yeri teorisinin temelleri ışığında ve dünya serbest bölge uygulamalarının sonuçlarıyla karşılaştırılarak incelenmeye çalışılmıştır

The Evaluation Of Macroeconomic Impact Of Free Zones: Turkey Case

Abstract

The macroeconomic impact of the free zones on host countries has been investigated for the last four decades. Free zones, having existed in the very ancient cities of Anatolia in 1900 BC, are as old as the Western civilizations. Over the two millennia, they have evolved into a quite different form in comparison to the free zones of the past. Although they still mainly serve the purpose of organizing free trade between different countries, the modern free zones deal with a complex and dynamic environment in the globalized world economy. Even though it is not certain that all parties benefit from all trade, as far as developing countries are concerned, it is certain that it would not be possible to improve their welfare without participating in the world trade system

Keywords

• Free Zones, liberalization, delocalization, macro economic impact
