To study Turkey's competitiveness and its progress two widely used indexes are calculated: the revealed comparative advantage (RCA) and the comparative export performance (CEP) index. In addition, import demand functions of the EU are estimated for rival countries. Using regression analysis we hypothesize that if Turkey is a competitor for these countries, its price will have a statistically significant effect on export demand functions. Both index and regression results indicate that Turkey has a strikingly high comparative advantage in the fruit juice and olive oil markets in the EU but this is not the case in the tomato market. pubtype: Academic Journal doctype: Article src: R language: English refInfo: copyright: @attributes: flag: N holdings: @attributes: islocal: N |
