A Study on Determination of Economic Factors Affecting Agricultural Growth
Abstract
Positive developments in Turkey’s economy in recent years, led to the rapid growth of the economy. The agricultural sector has created a driving force for this growth. The agricultural sector grew by 3.9 % on average in the last ve years, whereas the GDP grew only by 3.1%. These results indicate that the contribution of agriculture does not burden the economy; on the contrary it provides a contribution. Determination of the economic factors affecting the growth occurred in the agricultural sector is the subject of the study. For this purpose, 23 years time series data between the years1990-2012 were used. Regression analysis was carried out to determine the economic factors that affect agricultural growth. According to the results obtained from the regression analysis, gross xed capital investment in agriculture, agricultural subsidies and agricultural growth positively affect the share of agriculture in GDP, the number of agricultural population employed in agriculture has been found to affect growth negatively.
