In this thesis, the terms of trade changes in Turkey since 1970 are analyzed. In the 1970s, Turkey faced strong terms of trade declines mainly due to two oil price shocks. Rapid diversification of Turkish exports into manufactures was instrumental in avoiding further declines in its terms of trade in the 1980s. However, the slow pace of the diversification into more skill- and technology-intensive manufactures in Turkey combined with the fallacy of composition problem in low-tech, labourintensive manufactures may pose a real danger to the prices of its exports. To the extent that in the long-term, the changes in terms of trade of a country are determined by the level of technology embodied in its exports, the concentration of Turkish exports in low-tech, labour-intensive manufactures may highlight the need for upgrading exports and establishing backward- and forward-linkages between industries to escape from the trap of terms of trade deterioration in the long-term.

An Analysis of geographic and sectoral diversification using city and sector indices of Turkey
Ayan, Hamdi; Soytaş, Uğur; Oran, Adil; Department of Business Administration (2015)
This thesis examines the potentials of geographic and sectoral diversification in Turkey.

All data are 5-day week daily time series and sourced from Borsa Istanbul. City index data covers the period January 2, 2009 between November 24, 2014, whereas sectoral index data covers the period April 1, 2004 a...
Crisis in Slovenia: Roots, effects, prospects
Kržan, Marko (Orta Doğu Teknik Üniversitesi (Ankara, Turkey), 2014-12)
The author examines the last 20 years of Slovenian economic history. He argues that export-led economic model based on depreciated domestic currency and capital controls enabled stabilization and convergence with developed EU economies until 2004. The period of debt-led growth characterized by instability and recurrent recession after 2008 is explained by dissolution of the earlier economic model after Slovenia’s accession to EU. A brief comparison is then made that reveals a striking resemblance with ...
