Abstract (2. Language): 
Due to rapid increase in international competitiveness in recent years, discussions about competitiveness at firm, industry and country level have become a current issue in literature of economics and politics. Many new approaches are put forward on determinants and measurement methods of competitiveness. However, the number and the content of these studies are not sufficient for a sectoral examination of competitiveness in different countries. Main aim of this study is to examine the competitiveness of Turkish manufacturing industry at European Union market at both country and industry levels by using the methodology developed by Balassa and Donges and also by regression analysis. Our results indicate that Turkey has a comparative advantage with regard to the EU particularly in SITC 6 and SITC 8 and that wages and size of domestic market are key determinants of Turkey's comparative advantage.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Uluslararası rekabetin hızla artması, firma-sektör ve ülke bazında rekabet gücü ölçümüne ilişkin tartışmaları gündemde tutmaktadır. Rekabet gücünün belirlenmesine ve ölçümüne ilişkin sayısız yaklaşım ortaya konulmaktadırlar. Fakat bu tarz çalışmaların sayı ve sektör bazlı uygulamalar bakımından yetersiz kaldığı görülmektedir. Bu çalışmanın amacı, Türk imalat sanayinin Avrupa Birliği pazarındaki rekabet gücünü ülke ve endüstri temelinde Balassa ve Donges tarafından geliştirilen yöntemlerle ve ayrıca regresyon analizi ile değerlendirmek ve zaman içerisinde ortaya çıkan değişimi incelemektir. Çalışmadan elde edilen bulgular Türkiye'nin AB pazarında tekstil ve giyim eşyasının yer aldığı SITC 6 ve SITC 8 gruplarında AB ülkeleri karşısında bir rekabet avantajı varken, diğer ürün dezavantajlı konumda olduğunu göstermektedir. Regresyon analizi ise, ücret ve iç pazar büyüklüğünün hem emek hem de teknoloji yoğun sektörlerde Türkiye'nin rekabet gücünün temel belirleyicilerinden biri olduğuna işaret etmektedir.
