The Level and Structure of Turkey’s Intra-Industry Trade with Countries of Organization of The Black Sea Economic Cooperation
Abstract
In this study, intra-industry trade (IIT) level and structure between
Turkey and Organization of the Black Sea Economic Cooperation (BSEC),
which is a regional development movement which Turkey led its establishment
and has recently tried to revive, have been analyzed. In the study, Grubel-Lloyd
(GL) index, most widely used in the measurement of IIT, is used. According to
the calculations made by using SITC classification foreign trade data for 20072014,
it is observed that Turkey’s intra-industry trade with this region is low
according to GL index. In the specified period, intra-industry trade-intense
industries are beverages and tobacco, machinery and transport equipment and
chemicals industries. Besides, manufactured goods classified chiefly by
material and miscellaneous manufactured articles industry have relatively
higher intra-industry trade. As in other countries of the region, Turkey`s
increasing intra-industry level with this region which is low will be one of the
important factors in inversion to a more advanced level of regional integration.
