Abstract

Bu çalışma ekonominin serbestleşmesi öncesi ve sonrası Türk imalat sanayisinde verimlilik büyümesinin dinamiklerini inceliyor. Makale, sektör düzeyinde veri kullanarak, ithal ikameci sanayileşmeden dışa yönelik stratejiye geçişin büyüme performansını ve verimliliğini geliştirdiğini ve bunun neredeyse katma değer artışının yarısını sağladığını gösteriyor. Ayrıca, artan ihracat verimliliği anlamlı olarak etkilenmezken, reform sonrası daha güçlü rekabet ile yüz yüze gelen endüstrilerde daha yüksek verimlilik artışının gözlendiğine dair işaretler de bulunmaktadır.

Openness and Productivity Growth in Turkish Manufacturing

Abstract

This paper examines the dynamics of productivity growth in Turkish manufacturing industry before and after the liberalization of the economy. Using industry level data, the paper shows that the move from import-substituting industrialization to an outward-oriented strategy improved growth performance and it is productivity that is responsible for almost half of the growth in value added. There is also evidence that industries that face stronger competition after reform observed higher productivity growth rates whereas increased exports do not significantly affect productivity.
