Abstract

Çelik sektörü, Türkiye’nin en gelişmiş sektörlerinden biri olmasının yanısıra ülke ekonomisine katkı sağlayan önemli bir sektör konumundadır. Bu çalışmada ilk 10 çelik üreticisi ülkenin çelik ihracatındaki rekabet gücünün analiz edilmesi amaçlanmıştır. Bu bağlamda Açıklanmış Karşılaştırmalı Üstünlük (RCA) endeksi, Açıklanmış Simetrik Karşılaştırmalı Üstünlükler (RSCA) endeksi ve Ticaret Dengesi İndeksi (TBI) hesaplanmıştır. Ayrıca bu çalışmada, ilk 10 çelik üreticisi ülkenin TBI ve RSCA endeks değerlerinin kombinasyonu kullanılarak üretim haritası oluşturulmuştur. Son alarak Türkiye’nin, RCA analizi sonucuna göre karşılaştırmalı üstünlüğe sahip olan ülkelerle (Çin, Hindistan, Japonya, Rusya) işlenmiş ve yarı işlenmiş çelik ürünleri ihracatında Karşılaştırmalı İhracat Performans Endeksi (CEP) hesaplanmıştır. Çalışmada elde edilen bulgular, Türkiye’nin mamul ve yarı mamul çelik sektöründe dünya ticaretinde önemli bir ülke olarak yer aldığını göstermektedir. Türkiye'nin çelik sektöründe hesaplanan her endekste avantajlı bir konumda olduğu gözlemlenmiştir

Abstract

Besides being one of the most developed sectors in Turkey, the steel sector is an important sector that contributes to the country's economy. In this study, it is aimed to analyze the competitiveness of steel exports of the top 10 steel-producing countries. In this context, the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) index, the Revealed Symmetric Comparative Advantage (RSCA) index and the Trade Balance Index (TBI) were calculated. In addition, in this study, a production mapping was created by using the combination of TBI and RSCA index values of the top 10 steelproducing countries. Finally, the Comparative Export Performance Index (CEP) has been calculated for Turkey's exports of finished and semi-finished steel products to countries (China, India, Japan, Russia) that have a comparative advantage according to the result of RCA analysis. The findings obtained in the study show that Turkey is an important country in the world trade in the finished and semi-finished steel sectors. It has been observed that Turkey is in an advantageous position in every index calculated in the steel industry.
