Bu çalışmada, Türkiye tekstil ve hazır giyim sanayilerinin son on yıllık dönemdeki rekabet gücü ve rekabet koşullarındaki değişimler incelenmiştir. Yapılan analizler sonucu bu sanayilerin AB ve ABD pazarlarında oldukça başarılı olduğu ve yakın dönemde rekabetçi gücünü sürdürebileceği saptanmıştır. Fakat, tektsil ve hazır giyim sanayilerindeki gelişmeler ve özellikle 2005’den sonra kotaların kalkmasıyla sonucu, rekabet koşullarının önemli ölçüde değişmesi beklenmektedir. Türkiye’nin ihracat

Türkiye’nin Avrupa Birliği üyeliği, halen Türkiye ile Avrupa Birliği arasında yürürlükte olan Gümrük Birliği antlaşmasını gıda ve tarım ürünlerine de içine alacak şekilde genişletecektir. Bu gelişme sadece Türkiye ile AB arasındaki gıda ve tarımsal ürünler dış ticaretinin tam serbestleşmesi anlamına gelmeyecek, aynı zamanda üçüncü ülkelere karşı ortak dış tarifelerin uygulanmasına da sebep olacaktır. Bu yeni durumda gıda ve tarım ürünleri

Turkey's membership of EU will lead to the enlargement of already established customs union between EU and Turkey to the agro-food products. This involves not only a full liberalization of agricultural trade within the EU but also the implementation of a common external tariff. Trade diversion and creation effects for agro-food trade will emerge. According to the article XXIV of GATT, the possible results of these counteracting effects are important. In this paper, the trade diversion and creation effects of the membership of Turkey to the EU for the agro-food trade will be calculated and analyzed using the Armington assumption.

Bank efficiency has been the core topic in the discussions about the economic fragility of Turkey. The last two economic crises of Turkey had deep impacts in the financial system. The banking system in Turkey is frequently criticized on the grounds of the fact that their main income source is government borrowing and exchange rate speculations. Banks are accused of taking extensive risks. Hence after 2001 economic crisis, government intervention on the banking system has significantly increased. Banks have forced to adjust their risk and capital structure. The current literature of the studies conducted about the Turkish banking sector relates the bank efficiency to the macroeconomic environment; banks operates and tries to figure out if the macroeconomic changes have effects on bank efficiency. The relationship between the macroeconomic environment and the bank efficiency turns out to be undeniable. However, none of the studies have related the efficiency to the market structure of...

The origin of entropy dates back to 19th century. In 1948, the entropy concept as a measure of uncertainty was developed by Shannon. A decade after in 1957, Jaynes formulated Shannon’s entropy as a method for estimation and inference particularly for ill-posed problems by proposing the so called Maximum Entropy (ME) principle. More recently, Golan et al. (1996) developed the Generalized Maximum Entropy (GME) estimator and started a new discussion in econometrics. This paper is divided into two parts. The first part considers the formulation of this new technique (GME). Second, by Monte Carlo simulations the estimation results of GME will be discussed in the context of non-normal disturbances.

The skill biased technological change (SBTC) hypothesis relates earnings inequality to the change in technology with the hypothesis that technology increases the relative demand for skilled labor. In this paper we will investigate the evidence of SBTC hypothesis for two digit level 9 sectors in Turkey between 1982-1998. This paper is, in fact, a replication of Betts (1997) with Turkish data. The main finding of our study is the fact that there is no statistically significant support for skill biased technological change hypothesis for Turkish manufacturing sector between 1982 and 1998.
