Has Intra-Industry Trade Changed After Protectionism?: The Case of US Automotive Industry

Öz

The automotive industry is one of the most important engines of economic development thanks to its contribution to employment, high value added creation capacity, production size, high share in global trade and attracting international investments. Therefore, changes in the industry affect the entire economy. After the election of Donald Trump in the United States, restrictions were put on international trade in various ways and protectionism came to the fore. In the study, it is aimed to analyze the intra-industry trade and competitiveness of the automotive industry products between the years of 2007-2017. In the analyzes, the products and countries where the US has the most intense intra-industry trade in the automotive industry have been examined and the change before and after the protectionist policies have been compared. Intra-industry trade has been calculated using the Grubel-Lloyd index. In the analyzes, Harmonized System 6-digit trade data from the World Bank supported WITS software have been used. The results suggest that the share of intra-industry trade decreases as protectionism increases as expected

Korumacılık Sonrası Endüstri-İçi Ticaret Değişti mi?: Amerikan Otomotiv Endüstrisinin Durumu

Öz

Otomotiv endüstrisi, istihdama katkısı, yüksek katma değer yaratma kapasitesi, üretim büyüklüğü, küresel ticaretteki yüksek payı ve uluslararası yatırımları çekmesi nedeniyle ekonomik gelişmenin en önemli motorlarından biridir. Bu nedenle, sektördeki değişiklikler tüm ekonomiyi etkiler. ABD’de Donald Trump’ın seçilmesinden sonra çeşitli şekillerde uluslararası ticarete kısıtlamalar getirilmiştir ve korumacılık ön plana çıkmıştır. Bu çalışmada, 2007-2017 yılları arasında otomotiv endüstrisi ürünlerinin endüstri içi ticaret ve rekabet edebilirliğinin analiz edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Çalışmada, otomotiv endüstrisi ürünlerinin endüstri içi ticaret ve rekabet edebilirliğinin 2007-2017 yılları arasında incelenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Analizlerde, ABD'nin otomotiv endüstrisinde en yoğun sanayi içi ticarete sahip olduğu ürünler ve ülkeler incelenmiş ve korumacı politikalar öncesi ve sonrası değişim karşılaştırılmıştır. Grubel-Lloyd endeksi kullanılarak endüstri içi ticaret hesaplanmıştır. Analizlerde, Dünya Bankası destekli WITS yazılımından Harmonize Sistem 6 basamaklı ticari veriler kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın sonuçlarına göre, korumacılık arttıkça endüstri-içi ticaretin payının azaldığı görülmektedir.
