Ab ülkeleri karşısında Türk tarımının rekabet gücü: dinamik veri zarflama analizi

Tarım sektöründe gerçekleştirilecek verimlilik artışı özellikle gelişmekte olan ülkeler için sürdürülebilir bir ekonomik büyümenin temel kaynağı olarak gösterilmektedir. Sürdürülebilir büyümenin sağlanabilmesi için kaynakların optimal düzeyde dağıtılması ve maksimum verimin elde edilmesi gerekmektedir. Bu çalışmada Türkiye ve Avrupa Birliği üyesi 26 ülkenin 1992- 2006 dönemi için tarımsal etkinlik düzeyleri ölçülmektedir. Ülkelerin etkinlik düzeylerinin ölçülmesinde ekonomik karar birimlerinin dönemlerarası davranışlarının modellenmesine olanak veren Dinamik Veri Zarflama Analizi Yaklaşımı kullanılmıştır. Çalışma bulguları, Avrupa Birliği içinde gelişmiş ülkelerin dinamik etkinlik skorlarının diğer ülkelere göre daha yüksek olduğunu göstermektedir. Çalışmada Türkiye’nin dinamik etkinlik skorunun ise 0.520 olduğu ve çoğu Avrupa Birliği üyesi ülkelerin aksine Türkiye tarımında genel etkinsizliğin oluşmasında daha ziyade statik faktörlerin baskın olduğu görülmüştür.

The competitive power of Turkish agriculture compared to the european union countries: A dynamic data envelopment analysis

The continuous increase in the demand for agricultural products with the limited resources makes productivity increases imperative. Furthermore, the growth in the agricultural productivity is also one of the main factors of sustainable development especially for developing countries in which the agricultural sector is more influential on the economic structure and employment. In this study, we measure long term agricultural (dynamic) efficiencies of Turkey and 26 European Union (EU) countries between the years 1992-2006 using the Dynamic Data Envelopment Analysis approach which allows to model intertemopral behaviours of decision makers. Our results show that more developed countries in the European Union have also higher overall dynamic efficiencies. For the study period, the overall dynamic efficiency score for Turkey is found as 0.520. In contrast with the most of the European Union countries, the static factors play more dominant role for the inefficiency of the agriculture sector in Turkey.
