Türkiye’de 1980’de gerçekleştirilen ekonomik reformlar üzerine yapılan kantitatif çalışmalar genellikle dışa açılmanın büyüme üzerinde pozitif etki yaptığı sonucuna varmışlardır. Fakat, bu konuda elde edilen ampirik bulgular, analizlerde kullanılan dışa açılma endeklerinin objektif bir ölçüsünün olmadığı, ölçme hataları içerdiği ve dışa açılmanın bütün yönlerini kapsamadığı gerekçeleriyle literatürde sıkça eleştirilmişlerdir.Bu makale ,Ana Bileşenler Analizi kullanılarak oluşturulacak karma bir dışa açılma endeksinin, literatürde yapılan eleştirileri büyük ölçüde ortadan kaldırabileceğini göstermektedir. Zira bu karma endeks, dışa açılmanın farklı boyutlarını bir araya getirdiğinden, Türkiye ekonomisi için dışa açılmanın objektif ve güvenilir bir ölçüsü olarak ampirik çalışmalarda kullanılabilir

QUANTIFYING INTERNATIONAL OPENNESS IN TURKEY, 1965-1995

Öz

The results of empirical studies on the 1980 Turkish economic reform programme frequently suggest that openness has a positive impact on growth in Turkey. However, the results of empirical literature on the relationship between openness and growth have always been under criticism for using openness variables, which are not objective measures of openness, involve measurement errors and do not capture all dimensions of openness. To overcome these criticisms, in this article, we introduce a composite openness proxy obtained using the principle component methodology that captures all dimensions of openness and provide an objective and more reliable measure of openness for Turkey.
