“…If labor standards in trade agreements raise costs, then we should be able to see these effects emerge in empirical studies. The empirical results, however, are mixed, especially in the areas of labor standards on factory performance (Bakhshi 2010, Kucera and Sarna 2006, Dehejia and Samy 2004, Bonnal 2010. Some find no effects on labor costs (Flanagan 2003), while others suggest that the provisions gave firms incentives to change production techniques in ways that improved conditions and performance (Huberman 2012).…”

Developing country labor practices and the working conditions that result from them are both generally poor and increasingly drawing attention from governments, corporations, and the popular media. This review provides an introduction to some of the leading academic literature and ideas that are important for understanding the persistence of poor labor practices and possible policies to address these conditions. The literature is reviewed with the goal of moving from the root causes of poor conditions to innovative solutions. Several such solutions, such as the Better Work program, are discussed.

“…Çeşitli ülkelerin ihracat talep denklemini kuran çalışmalar arasında Warner ve Kreinin (1983), Senhadji ve Montenegro (1998) Diğer taraftan, ihracat arz denklemleri, üretim olmadan ihracat olamayacağından hareketle, ihracatı üretim yönünden incelemekte, bağımsız değişkenler olarak fiyat göstergelerinin yanısıra, birim iş gücü maliyetleri, çalışma standartları, ücretler, verimlilik, firma özellikleri, iç talep, ihracat teşvikleri, vergiler, sermaye/üretim oranları, doğrudan yabancı yatırımlar gibi arzı etkileyen değişkenleri modelde içermektedir (Rodriguez ve Samy (2003), Manez vd.

In this study, Turkey's export by manufacturing industry sectors was analysed. For this purpose, quarterly data between 1998q1-2012q1 for the first 4 highest exporting sectors within ISIC Rev. 3. two digit manufacturing industry sectors was used; namely, basic metal, motor vehicles, textile and clothing sectors. Long term and short term relationships between the variables were investigated using fully modified ordinary least squares (FMOLS) and vector error correction (VEC) models. Model results show that foreign economic activity is the most important factor affecting exports of all four sectors. Increase in unit labor costs; adversely affect exports of clothing and motor vehicle sectors in the long run. Increases in unit export prices have increasing effect in all sectors except textiles. Real appreciation of Turkish Lira adversely affect only textile sector among the four. Keywords: Exports, Time Series, Sectors, VEC, FMOLS. JEL Classification Codes : C22, F14. ÖzetBu çalışmada Türkiye'nin ihracatı sektörler bazında analiz edilmiştir. ISIC Rev. 3 iki basamaklı bazda 22 imalat sanayi sektöründen en çok ihracatı yapılan ilk 4 sektörün (ana metal, motorlu kara taşıtları, tekstil ve giyim sektörleri) 1998-2012 yılları arasında çeyrekler itibariyle zaman serisi denklemleri kurularak değişkenler arasındaki uzun ve kısa dönemli ilişkiler tamamen değiştirilmiş en küçük kareler (Fully Modified Ordinary Least Squares-FMOLS) ve vektör hata düzeltme (Vector Error Correction-VEC) yöntemiyle araştırılmıştır. Regresyon sonuçlarına göre, incelenen sektörlerin tamamında ihracatını etkileyen en önemli değişkenin dış talep olduğu görülmektedir. Birim işgücü maliyetlerinin artması Giyim Eşyası ve Motorlu Kara Taşıtları sektörlerinin ihracatını uzun dönemde olumsuz olarak etkilemektedir. İhracat birim fiyatlarındaki artışlar tekstil sektörü hariç tüm sektörlerde ihracat gelirlerini artırıcı etkide bulunmaktadır. Reel kur değerlenmesinden incelenen sektörler içinde sadece tekstil sektörü olumsuz etkilenmektedir. Anahtar Sözcükler: İhracat, Zaman Serisi, Sektörler, VEC, FMOLS.

“…However, if bilateral trade flows are also distinguished according to differences in skill-intensities a significant negative impact is found on exports of both labour-intensive and capital-intensive commodities that are produced with relatively more high-skilled labour 31 . Samy (2008 and2008b) and Bonnal (2010) use similar outcome-based measures for labour standards to analyse the effects of labour standards on trade. Dehijia and Samy ( 2008) examine the question in the context of a gravity equation and with the use of six different outcome-based measures for labour standards: the percentage of total public expenditure of GDP, an index of labour market well-being, actual weekly hours worked, trade union density rates, the number of strikes and lockouts, and occupational injuries.…”
