Abstract

Countries that have the ability to diversify their product portfolios and gather the set of capabilities required to produce and export complex products grow fast and achieve economic development. This study examines the structural change in Turkey’s export composition within the 1995-2015 period by focusing on the complexity and diversification of its exports. The findings show that Turkey has failed to diversify its exports into complex products to generate a structural transformation in its exports. Turkey’s abandonment of selective sectoral incentives after 1995 play a major role in this failure.

Türkiye’nin İhracatının Yapısı ve Teşvik Politikaları

Abstract

Ürün portföyünü çeşitlendirebilen ve karmaşık ürünler üretip ihraç edebilecek kabiliyetler kümesi geliştiren ülkeler hızlı büyüyor ve ekonomileri kalkınıyor. Bu çalışmada karmaşıklık ve çeşitlilik kavramları merkeze alınarak Türkiye'nin 1995 ve 2015 yılları arasındaki ihracat kompozisyonundaki yapısal değişimi ve bu değişimin Türkiye’de uygulanan teşvik politikalarıyla ilintisi incelenmektedir. Türkiye ihracatını karmaşıklığı yüksek seviyede olan ürünlere doğru çeşitlendirememiş ve dolayısıyla ihracat yapısını dönüştürememiştir. Bu başarısızlıkta Türkiye'nin 1995 yılından sonra seçici sektörel teşvik politikalarını terk etmesinin rolü vardır.
