On the Dynamics of the Agricultural Trade of Turkey

Year 2019, Volume: 8 Issue: 1, 1 - 10, 01.01.2019

Abstract

In this study, the dynamics of the agricultural trade of Turkey are empirically analyzed within a gravity model framework. Using a panel of 33 countries over the period 1993-2015, we found that the economic magnitude of the partner country, the real exchange rate volatility and common borders are significant factors determining the agricultural trade of Turkey. Furthermore, after the global crisis in 2008, the agricultural trade volume of Turkey exhibits a positive shift unlike the decline in the world agricultural trade. The results also indicate that Turkey’s agricultural trade with the European Union tends to decrease after 2008 although the EU countries are still important trade partners.

Türkiye’nin Tarımsal Ticaretinin Dinamikleri Üstüne

Year 2019, Volume: 8 Issue: 1, 1 - 10, 01.01.2019

Abstract

Bu çalışmada Türkiye’nin tarım ürünleri ticareti, çekim modeli kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. 33 ülkenin 1993-2005 dönemi gözlemleriyle oluşturulan panel veri seti kullanılmıştır. Ampirik analiz sonucunda Türkiye’nin tarım ürünleri dış ticaretindeki değişimin, ilgili ülkenin ekonomik büyüklüğü, reel döviz kuru oynaklığı ve ortak sınır sahipliğiyle ilişkili olduğu görülmüştür. Bunun ötesinde, 2008 küresel krizinin ardından, dünya tarım ürünleri ticaretindeki düşüşün aksine, Türkiye’nin tarım ürünleri dış ticaretinde pozitif bir kayma olduğu tespit edilmiştir. Ayrıca, Avrupa Birliği (AB) üyesi ülkeler Türkiye için önemli birer ortak olma özelliğini korumakla beraber, 2008 krizinden itibaren Türkiye’nin tarım ürünleri dış ticaretinde AB üyesi olmayan ülkelere doğru artan bir yönelim olduğu görülmektedir.
