TÜRKİYE İMALAT SANAYİİNDE YOĞUNLAŞMA, KARLILIK VE ÜCRET İLİŞKİSİ: YENİDEN

Öz

Piyasa yapısının ücretler ve karlar üzerindeki etkileri 1950’li yıllardan itibaren hem iktisatçıların hem de regülasyon otoritelerinin ilgisini çeken önemli konulardan biri olmuştur. Yüksek yoğunlaşmanın (eksik rekabetin) ücretler ve karlar üzerinde olumlu etki yarattığını ileri süren birçok teorik ve uygulamalı çalışma bulunmaktadır. Türkiye için ise yoğunlaşma, ücret ve karlılık ilişkileri Aksoy (1983) tarafından incelenmiş ve yoğunlaşmanın yüksek olduğu endüstrilerde gerek ücretlerin gerekse karların yüksek olduğu sonucuna varılmıştır. Bu çalışmada daha önce Aksoy (1983)’de ele alınan yoğunlaşma, karlılık ve ücret ilişkileri, Türkiye imalat sanayii alt sektörlerinden derlenen veriler ile ileri panel veri yöntemlerinden yararlanılarak yeniden incelenmiştir. Elde edilen sonuçlara göre yoğunlaşma oranı, hem ücretler hem de karlar üzerinde pozitif etkiye sahiptir.

THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN CONCENTRATION, PROFITABİLITY, AND WAGES IN TURKEY'S MANUFACTURING INDUSTRIES: RECONSIDERED

Öz

The Relationship between Concentration, Profitability, and Wages in Turkey's Manufacturing Industries: Reconsidered The effects of market structure on the wages and profits have been one of the hot topics in the economics field drawing considerable interest of both economists and regulatory authorities since 1950s. There is a vast-both theoretical and applied-literature suggesting that high concentration levels are positively related with wages and profits. Aksoy (1983) examined concentration-wages and concentration-profitability relationships for Turkey and showed that both wages and profits are higher in high-concentration industries than that of low-concentration industries. Using advanced panel-data methods and Turkey’s manufacturing industry sub-sector data, this study reinvestigates these relationships studied by Aksoy (1983). Our findings suggest that concentration ratio have positive effects on both wages and profits in Turkey’s manufacturing sector
