İmalat Sanayi Rekabet Gücünün Yapısal Belirleyicileri

Bir ülke ekonomisinin uluslararası rekabet gücü refah artışının ön koşulu niteliğindedir. Ülke ekonomisinin rekabet gücü özellikle imalat sanayinin rekabetçiliğini ifade etmektedir. Etkin bir kurumsal yapının varlığı, teknoloji odaklı dönüşümün gerçekleştirilmesi, nitelikli işgücü oluşumunu sağlayarak yetkinliğin arttırılması, gerekli altyapı desteklerinin sağlanması uluslararası ekonomik arenada diğer ülkelere göre öne çıkabilmek için gerekli unsurlardır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, imalat sanayi rekabet gücünün fiyat-maliyet dışı yapısal unsurlarını değerlendirerek, yapısal dönüşümün ne şekilde gerçekleştirilebileceğine ilişkin çıkarımlarda bulunmaktır. Yapısal unsurların, rekabetçi sanayi performansı üzerindeki etkisi 31 ülkeye ait 2000-2016 yılları verileri kullanılarak panel veri analizi ile araştırılmıştır. Elde edilen bulgular kurumsal çerçevedeki iyileşme, yenilikçilik, sermaye birikimi ve altyapı yatırımlarının imalat sanayi rekabetçiliğini arttırdığını göstermektedir. 

Structural Determinants of Competitiveness in Manufacturing Industry

International competitiveness of a country is a prerequisite for welfare improvement. The competitiveness of the national economy especially refers to the competitiveness of the manufacturing industry. Existence of an efficient institutional structure, carrying out technology-oriented transformation, increasing the capability by supplying high-skilled labor force, providing the necessary infrastructure are essential components to stand out against the competitors in the international economic arena. The aim of this study is to evaluate the non-price structural elements of manufacturing industry competitiveness, and to make inferences about how the structural transformation will be carried out. In this regard, the effects of structural factors on competitive industrial performance are investigated by using data of 31 countries over 2000-2016 period with panel data analysis. The findings show that improvements in the institutional framework, innovation, capital accumulation and infrastructure investments increase the competitiveness of the manufacturing industry.
