Abstract: [EN] We follow alternative methods to estimate the share of labor income in value-added. We estimate that as of 2018 labor share in Turkey lies somewhere around 45 percent (no less than 42%, no more than 54%). We document that labor share robustly increases by about 12.2 percent from the mid-2000s to 2017. A shift-share analysis reveals that within-and between-sector forces are equally important for the rise of the Turkish labor share.
