Abstract

Dünya ve Türkiye’de önemi giderek artan hizmet sektörünün ticaretindeki faktör bileşenleri konusunda yapılan çalışmalar oldukça yetersizdir. Heckscher-Ohlin modeli, ülkeler arasındaki ticaretin şeklini ticari malların faktör bileşenlerine dayandırarak teorik olarak güçlü bir şekilde açıklamasına rağmen, teorinin ampirik geçerliliği araştırmacılar tarafından hala sorgulanmaktadır. Bu çalışmada, 2002 yılı girdi-çıktı ve ithalat kullanım tablosu verileri kullanılarak Türkiye’nin hizmet ticaretinin Heckscher-Ohlin modelinde öngörüldüğü gibi gerçekleşip gerçekleşme-diği incelenmiştir. Net nihai talep ve tamamlayıcı ithalat yaklaşımlarına dayanılarak yapılan hesaplamalar sonucunda, Türk hizmetler sektöründe dış ticaret ile faktör yoğunluğu arasındaki ilişkinin teoride öngörüldüğü doğrultuda geliştiği; göreceli olarak emek yoğun hizmetlerin ihraç, sermaye yoğun hizmetlerin ise ithal edildiği tespit edilmiştir.

TESTING THE HECKSCHER-OHLIN MODEL IN THE SERVICE SECTOR OF TURKEY

Abstract

Although the service sector has increasingly gained importance both in the world and in Turkey, there are few studies on factor contents of trade in service sectors. While the Heckscher-Ohlin model can strongly predict the pattern of trade across countries, its empirical testing has still be discussed by researches. This study investigates whether trade in the service sector of Turkey runs in the direction that the Heckscher-Ohlin theory predicts using 2002 input-output and import use tables of Turkey. The results using the net final demand approach and the complementary import approach reveal that the relationship between foreign trade and factor intensity is in accordance with the predictions of the theory that while Turkey’ exports include relatively labor intensive goods, its imports include relatively capital intensive goods
