Abstract

This paper employs two complimentary techniques to test the impact of foreign trade on output productivity and on employment between 1971 1981 for Turkey The findings are striking: approximately one million potential job losses in the manufacturing sector and only a few manufacturing subsectors passed the absorption test The agriculture sector created approximately six hundred thousand new jobs and the sector as a whole passed the absorption test We conclude that not withstanding the recent impressive success in exporting manufacturing goods The Turkish economic planning efforts must not neglect the agricultural sector for the reasons discussed in the paper
