Abstract

Structure of the economy refers to the shares of the broad sectors agriculture, industry, and services in gross domestic income (GDP) and employment. On the other hand, structural transformation refers the change in these shares over time. The purpose of this study is to enhance our understanding of the forces behind structural transformation and investigate the link between economic growth and structural transformation in Turkey. The study begins by reviewing and evaluating the literature on structural transformation. Then the study empirically investigates the process of transformation and its link to economic growth on the basis of a multi–sector growth model. The study compares the structural transformation process in Turkey with that of some other countries on the basis of the findings of similar studies. The study concludes by making sub-sectoral economic policy suggestions in order to raise economic growth.

    Note: [Turkish Title] Türkiye’de Büyüme ve Yapısal Dönüşüm [Turkish Abstract] Ekonomik yapı ile ana sektörler olan tarım, sanayi ve hizmetlerin gayri safi yurtiçi hasıla (GSYH) ve istihdam içerisindeki paylarını ifade etmektedir. Diğer yandan yapısal dönüşüm bu paylarda zaman içerisinde ortaya çıkan değişmeyi yansıtmaktadır. Bu çalışmanın amacı Türkiye'de yapısal dönüşümün gerisinde yatan faktörleri daha iyi anlamamızı sağlamak ve ekonomik büyüme ile yapısal dönüşüm arasındaki ilişkiyi araştırmaktır. Çalışma yapısal dönüşüm ile ilgili yazını gözden geçirmek ve değerlendirmek ile başlamaktadır. Sonra, çok sektörlü bir büyüme modeli temelinde dönüşüm süreci ve bu sürecin ekonomik büyüme ile ilişkisi ampirik olarak incelenmektedir. Çalışma, benzer çalışmaların bulgularından yararlanarak Türkiye’deki yapısal dönüşüm sürecini diğer bazı ülkelerinki ile karşılaştırmaktadır. Çalışma ekonomik büyümenin artırılması için alt sektörlere ilişkin ekonomi politikaları önermeleri yaparak sonuçlanmaktadır. [Turkish Keywords] Yapısal Dönüşüm, büyüme, Türkiye
