Abstract

Energy sector plays a fundamental part (either as a cause or the as a facilitator) in the economic growth process. As known, agricultural sector also plays a strategic role in the process of economic development of a country. Agriculture and energy sector are considered to be important drivers of the economy due to their strong inter-industrial linkages. The purpose of this study is to analyse the structural interdependency of the agriculture, food and energy sectors in Turkey. In this study, it has been discussed whether agriculture, energy and food manufacturing industries can be considered as the drivers of the Turkish economy. For this purpose, the input-output tables constructed by the TurkStat national accounts in 2012 has been employed and several multipliers have been calculated by using input-output tables. According to the multipliers, employment creation capacity of agriculture, energy and food manufacturing sector is relatively weak. However, their income creation impact is remarkably high. Among the others, agriculture is the most income creative sector in case of final demand increase in the economy. Similarly, energy sector has key role in the economy, since it's both direct and indirect income generating effect is quite high. These results ensure useful information for policy makers to stimulate growth via more appropriate investments in the economy.
