Regional Wage, Productivity Differences and Location Choice of Manufacturing Sector in Turkey
Öz
Theoretical models and empirical studies focus on, in general, local characteristics such as centripetal or centrifugal forces to explain regional differences in economic activities (NEG and UE). However, how the technological characteristics of the economic activities affect the location choice are other critical issues. To this end, the paper focuses on the technological properties of the manufacturing activities in Turkey, and investigates the links between regional distribution of manufacturing subsectors and labor productivity using some basic technological indicators. Technology indicators: Wage, labor productivity and firm size at sectoral-regional level.
