Abstract

Many efforts have been devoted to import
dependency of economies. In this study, import effects of sectors and their
determinants have been researched by using input output models. Main
determinants of sectoral import dependency were classified as base of three
elements such as intensity of imported input, share of sectors in output and
inter sectoral linkages. By the use of National Turkish Input-Output Tables
from 1995 to 2011 which have been published World Input Output Database, import
dependency of Turkish Economy was examined by sectors. With respect to finding
of the study; Turkish Economy has been more import dependent during this period
and change in the import dependency of sectors exhibited large diversity during
1995-2011. Import multipliers exhibiting total import effects of sectors seem
to have changed in narrow band and closer to each other in 1995-1998 while it
has been observed an expansion of import multipliers band and an increase in
differences among sectors after 1998.
