AbstractThe aim of the paper is to examine the effects on employment of the large-scale structural adjustment programme undertaken by Turkey from the early 1980s onwards.In this respect, we particularly analyse how appropriate the choices of factor intensity after structural adjustment programme have been in the domestic production in comparison with the availability of domestic factor endowment. Our findings show that foreign trade in intermediate goods creates extra use of domestic labour, which can be considered as the labour cost of importing intermediate goods. This is the case in the majority of industries in the pre-and post-liberalisation period in Turkey. However, the capacity of using extra labour as a result of importing intermediate goods appeared to have decreased in the post-liberalisation period.
During the last two decades, Turkey implemented a number of structural adjustment programmes, and changed the economic structural priorities from agriculture to manufacturing sectors. However, agricultural sector has still remained as the most important sector in terms of employing almost 29.5% of total employment in the economy. Despite this situation share of agricultural production in total value added has drastically declined. This research aims to enlighten changing role of agricultural sector in Turkish economy. In doing so, we employ inputoutput model, in which sectoral inter-linkages can be de¯ned. Our research uses input-output tables from 1968 to 2002 and analyzes the importance of agricultural sector basing upon the forward and backward linkages calculated under di®erent hypothetical cases. Therefore, we can examine the changes in total production in the economy. Through such a sensitivity analyses, we are able to investigate the extent of which other sectors rely on the production of the agricultural sector.
Turkey undertook a far-reaching structural adjustment programme in 1980. As an integral element of this programme, financial liberalisation aimed at increasing domestic savings and directing them efficiently towards financing investment projects, which will be likely to have positive impacts on economic growth. After 20 years the performance of these reforms in financial markets is still a matter of concern among academics. The aim of this paper is to examine the role of the financial sector in the whole economy and to assess the sources of gross output of the sector. By doing that we are able to connect financial reforms with different source of growth, and analyse the impacts of reforms on the production of financial services in the pre-and pro-liberalisation periods. To accomplish this aim, we introduce a new methodology, which is based upon the Leontief's input-output models. The results imply that the production sector of the Turkish economy has increasingly become independent from the use of financial service produced by the banking and insurance sector particularly in the post-reform period.
