Abstract

On the product basis, one of the most important indicators which is
able to use in order to measure of export competitiveness of countries is
“revealed comparative advantage (RCA) indexes”. RCA indexes can be calculated
by using Balassa Index and/or Vollrath Index. The results greater than 1 show
that the country has competitive advantage in the export of the production in
question. In the paper, between 1993-2014, it is aimed to determine the
competitiveness in the export of live animals, meat products and seafoods. In
this context, RCA indexes (Balassa Index and Vollrath Index) related to the
export of 37 products are calculated. The results indicate the condition mainly
competitive disadvantage in the export of these products.

Türkiye’nin Canlı Hayvan, Et ve Deniz Ürünleri İhracatındaki Rekabet Gücünün Analizi

Year 2016, Volume: 5 Issue: 7, 1843 - 1864, 29.10.2016

Abstract

Ülkelerin ürün bazında
ihracat rekabet gücünün ölçümü amacıyla kullanılabilecek en önemli
göstergelerden birisi “açıklanmış karşılaştırmalı üstünlük (AKÜ) katsayıları”
dır. AKÜ katsayıları Balassa İndeksi ve/veya Vollrath İndeksi kullanılarak hesaplanabilir.
Sonucun 1’den büyük olması söz konusu ürünün ihracatında ülkenin rekabet
avantajına sahip olduğunu gösterir. Çalışmada, 1993-2014 yılları arasında
Türkiye’nin canlı hayvan, et ürünleri ve deniz ürünleri ihracatındaki rekabet
gücünün belirlenmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu bağlamda, 37 ürünün ihracatına ilişkin
AKÜ katsayıları (Balassa İndeksi ve Vollrath İndeksi) hesaplanmıştır. Elde
edilen sonuçlar, söz konusu ürünlerin ihracatında ağırlıklı olarak rekabet
dezavantajı durumunu işaret etmektedir.
