Abstract
After 1980, Turkey has adopted a "Export-Led Growth Strategy" based on a growth model. In this strategy, export is one of the most important elements of growth and development. To reach to Turkey's exports target, the contribution of the country's most exporting firms is great. In this study, the largest exporter of Turkey in terms of various indicators of the firm performance have been analyzed using firm level annual data from the years between 2004 and 2012. Our results show that, year by year, total exports of the top 1000 largest exporter firms is increasing. Many of these firms are privately-owned companies rather than public-owned ones. These firms are usually concentrated in big cities and many of them have a foreign partner

Abstract
Türkiye 1980 sonrası “İhracata Dayalı Büyüme Strateji” bazlı bir büyüme modeline geçmiştir. Söz konusu stratejide ihracat, büyüme ve kalkınmanın önemli unsurlarından biridir. Türkiye’nin ihracat hedefine ulaşmasında ülkenin en çok ihracat yapan firmalarının katkısı büyüktür. Çalışmada, çeşitli göstergeler açısından Türkiye’nin en büyük ihracatçı firmalarının performansı, 2004-2012 yıllarını kapsayan yıllık firma seviyesinde veri seti kullanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre, yıllar itibariyle, İlk 1000 büyük ihracatçı firmaların toplam ihracatı artmaktadır. Bu firmaların çoğu kamudan ziyade, özel sermayeli firmalardır. Söz konusu firmalar, genellikle büyük şehirlerde yoğunlaşmakta ve birçoğunun yabancı ortağı bulunmaktadır.
