Abstract

The automotive sector plays a significant role in the Turkish economy in creating relatively high added value and employment and accelerating the country's global trade share. The sector is so substantial that it has become the leader in Turkish exports in the last decade. There are plenty of papers in the literature regarding the automotive sector and economic growth nexus and implementing various methods. Still, hardly any studies focus merely on the current account deficits the sector generates, incorporating an input-output analysis. This paper examines the automotive sector and current account deficit nexus through input-output analysis. The results highlight that the automotive sector is highly dependent on imports.

Türkiye’de Otomotiv Sektörü ve Cari İşlemler Açığı İlişkisi: Bir Girdi Çıktı Analizi

Abstract

Otomotiv sektörü görece yüksek katma değer ve küresel ticaretten aldığı pay ile Türkiye ihracatı açısından büyük önem taşımaktadır. Öyle ki son yıllarda Türkiye ihracatının (%17-18) lokomotifi konumuna ulaşmıştır. Literatürde sektörünün ekonomiye katkısını regresyon ve benzeri analizlerle ortaya koymayı amaçlayan birçok çalışma bulunmaktadır. Ancak sektör üretiminin cari işlemler açığına etkisini girdi çıktı analizi kapsamında değerlendiren az sayıda çalışma bulunduğu gözlemlenmiştir. Bu bağlamda bu çalışmada girdi çıktı analizi kapsamında, sektör üretiminin cari işlemler hesabına etkisinin ortaya konulması amaçlanmıştır. TÜİK tarafından yayınlanan 2012 yılına ait girdi-çıktı tablolarından sektöre yönelik sızıntı ve bağlantı katsayıları hesaplanmış; sektörün üretim aşamasında ithalata bağımlı olduğu tespit edilmiştir.
