TÜRKİYE’DEKİ KONTEYNER LİMANLARINDA YOĞUNLAŞMA VE REKABET: İSTATİSTİKSEL BİR ANALİZ

Araştırmalara göre, gelişmekte olan ülkelerde ekonomik büyümenin sağlanması için, kamu yatırımlarının mahiyeti, özel sektör yatırımlarını teşvik edecek şekilde ayarlanmalıdır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türkiye’deki güncel özelleştirme sürecini, konteyner limanları açısından değerlendirmektir. Bu amaçla, Türkiye’deki konteyner limanlarındaki yoğunlaşma eğilimleri ve rekabet şartları, özelleştirme dönemi boyunca, istatistiksel ölçütler ile incelenmiştir. Çalışmanın bulgularına göre, Türkiye’deki limanların özelleştirilmesi süreci, özel sektör yatırımlarının teşviki açısından başarılıdır. Ancak, özelleştirme sonrası liman performansında makroekonomik ve kurumsal faktörler önemlidir. Bu nedenle, sektöre yeni giren yatırımcıların rekabet avantajlarının Türkiye için küresel bir rekabet gücüne dönüşebilmesinde liman politikaları ve sektörel düzenlemelerin sürekli gelişimi gerekmektedir

CONCENTRATION AND COMPETITION OF CONTAINER PORTS IN TURKEY: A STATISTICAL ANALYSIS

Literature implies that in developing countries, the level and natureof public investments should be adjusted to stimulate private investments foreconomic growth. This study aims to assess the outcome of Turkey’s recentprivatization process by analyzing the industry concentration andcompetition in the specific context of container ports. For this purpose, theconcentration dynamics of Turkish container ports are examined by applyingstatistical measures of market concentration and competition throughout theport privatization period. The statistical findings of this study suggest that therecent port privatizations have been successful in stimulating privateinvestments and competition. However, for the post-privatizationperformance, macro-economic and institutional factors are influential.Therefore, the continuous improvements in the port policy and regulatoryframework are required for using the competitive advantage of thenewcomers to the sector as a future advantage for Turkey’s globalcompetitiveness.
