THE EFFECT OF INTER-INDUSTRY TRADE ON COMPETITIVENESS; AN EVALUATION IN THE CONTEXT OF TURKEY

Abstract

Abstract Considering that the competitiveness of a country's industries is determined by many micro and macro factors, Intra-Industry Trade (IIT) in an industry determines many features of this industry such as supply-demand, product price and quality, competition and in this context affects the competitiveness of the industry. is being evaluated. Purpose: In our study, it was aimed to determine the correlation between IIT and competitiveness in Turkey's foreign trade between 2001-2019 on the basis of chapter 97 of HS/GTİP. In our research, the degree of intra-industry trade was measured by the Grubel-Lloyd method. Vollrath's (1991) Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) method was used to measure competitiveness. Method: The degree of intra-industry trade was measured by the Grubel-Lloyd method. Vollrath's (1991) Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) method was used to measure competitiveness. Correlation analysis and panel data analysis were used to determine the relationship between IIT and competitiveness. Findings: There was a very high positive correlation between IIT and competitiveness in 27 chapters and a very high negative correlation in 24 chapters. High positive correlation was determined in 24 chapters and high negative correlation was determined in 6 chapters. Within the framework of the findings, it can be stated that there is a high or very high correlation between the IIT and competitiveness, which varies according to the chapters. It was observed that the results of the Panel Data Analysis in the study were also compatible with the results of the Correlation Analysis. Originality: It is considered that it will be beneficial to carry this study and its results, which is unique for Turkey, forward and to produce guiding results in economy, development, industrialization and foreign trade policies.

ENDÜSTRİ İÇİ TİCARETİN REKABET GÜCÜNE ETKİSİ; TÜRKİYE BAĞLAMINDA BİR DEĞERLENDİRME

Abstract

Özet Ülke endüstrilerinin rekabet gücünün mikro ve makro çok sayıda faktör tarafından belirlendiği göz önüne alındığında, bir endüstrideki Endüstri İçi Ticaret’in (EİT) bu endüstrinin; arz-talep, ürün fiyat ve kalitesi, rekabet gibi birçok özelliğini belirlediği ve bu bağlamda endüstrinin rekabet gücünü etkilediği değerlendirilmektedir. Amaç: Çalışmamızda, Türkiye’nin 2001-2019 yılları arasındaki dış ticaretinde EİT ile rekabet gücü arasındaki korelasyonun, HS/GTİP’nun 97 faslı bazında belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Yöntem: Araştırmamızda endüstri-içi ticaretin derecesi Grubel-Lloyd yöntemi ile ölçülmüştür. Rekabet Gücünün ölçümünde Vollrath’ın (1991), Açıklanmış Karşılaştırmalı Üstünlükler (AKÜ) yöntemi kullanılmıştır. EİT ile rekabet gücü arasındaki ilişkinin belirlenmesinde, korelasyon analizi ve panel veri analizi kullanılmıştır. Bulgular: EİT ile rekabet gücü arasında 27 fasılda çok yüksek pozitif ve 24 fasılda çok yüksek negatif korelasyon ilişkisi belirlenmiştir. 24 Fasılda da yüksek pozitif, 6 fasılda yüksek negatif korelasyon belirlenmiştir. Bulgular çerçevesinde EİT ve rekabet gücü arasında fasıllara göre değişen yüksek veya çok yüksek korelasyonun olduğu ifade edilebilir. Çalışmadaki Panel Veri Analizi sonuçlarının da Korelasyon Analizi sonuçları ile uyumlu olduğu gözlenmiştir. Özgünlük: Türkiye için özgün olan bu çalışma ve sonuçlarının ileriye taşınması ve iktisat, kalkınma, sanayileşme ve dış ticaret politikalarında yol gösterici sonuçların üretilmesinin faydalı olacağı değerlendirilmektedir.
