This study is an attempt to analyze Customs Union effect in terms of co-integration and periodicity in international trade for Turkey. The most significant contribution of the paper is its use of improved methods to detect periodicity in international trade data. Customs Union (CU) with EU has shown to have significant impacts in EU-Turkey trade relations yet no other study measure the impact of CU in terms of periodicity. In order to search for hidden periodicities in the data, periodograms and periodogram based unit root tests having various strengths as compared to standard methods. The findings show that CU has an impact in EU-Turkey trade relations with regard to periodicity. The study has also policy contributions for similar free trade agreements such as modernized customs union, post-Brexit talks, and new EEA agreements

Trade liberalization and innovation decisions of firms: Lessons from Post-1980 Turkey Pamukcu, Mehmet Teoman (2003-01-01) Determinants of innovation decisions of Turkish manufacturing firms are estimated for 1989-93, with an emphasis on determinants that are linked to trade policy reforms of the 1980s. Using plant-level data, we find that positive effects of trade liberalization on innovation decision are transmitted mainly through technology embodied in imported machinery. Being a technology licensee, an exporter, or having a foreign partner does not exert a significant positive effect on a firm's probability to innovate, nor...
Measuring intra-industry and marginal intra-industry trade - The case for Turkey Erlat, Güzin; Erlat, Haluk (2003-11-01) Works on whether Turkey's trade structure is predominantly interindustry or intra-industry and whether there has been a shift toward intra-industry trade (HT) after 1980 are of a limited number The present study attempts to shed some light on these questions, stressing, in particular changes in HT We consider Turkey's trade with the world for the 1969-99 period. We first use the Grubel-Lloyd (GL) index and find that there is a definite difference in the pattern of the weighted average of the three-digit (SI...

Nonlinearity in the real interest parity hypothesis Kadakal, Zeynep Şeyma; Yıldırım Kasap, Dilem; Department of Economics (2013) This study examines Real Interest Parity (RIP) hypothesis for some old and present members of European Free Trade Area (EFTA). The analysis entails the application of nonlinear unit root tests proposed by Kapetanios, Shin and Snell (2003) and Kılıç (2011) for January 1967 and August 2012 period, which coincides with some stages of Balassa’s (1961) economic integration classification. The results show that nonlinearity in real interest rate differentials is significant for most cases and more supportive evid...
