Microeconomic Aspects of Productivity Growth under Import Substitution: Turkey

Anne O. Krueger and Baran Tuncer

No 532, NBER Working Papers from National Bureau of Economic Research, Inc

Abstract: This paper assesses the empirical relevance of "dynamic" factors in industrialization in developing countries. Using data from a sample of 91 firms, rates of growth of output per unit of input are calculated. It is shown that there is little basis, at least with regard to Turkish experience, to the notion that non-traditional industries are in some sense more "dynamic" than traditional industries.
