Analysis of Turkey’s Export from the Perspective of Concentration
Abstract
Turkey’s foreign trade strategy in recent years, primarily has to reduce the trade deficit (and current account deficit) by increasing the export. However, decreasing concentration in export has been revealed as an important goal by economy policy makers. Because, decreasing concentration (increasing diversification) in export plays an important role to achieve the competitive advantage of Turkey in the global economy. In this study covering the years 2000-2014, the level of product and market concentration in Turkey’s export was determined by using Concentration Ratio of Commerce and Gini-Hirschman Index. According to the analysis, it has been revealed that product and market concentrations have decreased.
