“…Studies investigating dependency on imported inputs using Turkish data employ different methods and claim that the weight of imports used in production is very high. These studies put forward the import-intermediate input dependency of sectoral production (see: Şisman et al, 2004;Yükseler and Türkan, 2006;Ersungur and Kızıltan, 2007;Saygılı et al, 2010;Şenesen and Şenesen, 2010;Ersungur et al, 2011;Özlale and Karakurt, 2012;Duman and Özgüzer, 2013;Aydın et al, 2015;Aydoğuş et al, 2015;Kundak and Aydoğuş, 2018;Tok and Sevinç, 2019;Ünal, 2020;Dineri and Işık, 2021;Kurt, 2023). Şenesen and Şenesen (2003) assess the structure of import dependency in Türkiye via backward linkages by using inputoutput tables from the 1970s to the 1990s in the context of economic policies.…”

The high import dependency of exports is an important cause of external vulnerability for economies pursuing an export-led growth strategy. The purpose of this paper is to analyze the import dependency of exports in Türkiye, which adopts the export-led growth model, and to identify the sectors that will contribute to reducing the import dependency of exports. This study investigates Türkye’s time-varying import dependency of exports from January 2013 to January 2024 using ISIC Rev.4 classification and state space model. The findings reveal that while the import dependency of exports was on a downward trend from early 2013 until September 2019, this trend reversed after this date and the import dependency of exports started to increase rapidly. A one percentage increase in the deviation of exports from their potential increases the import dependency of exports by 0.65% on average. The highest import dependence of exports is observed in the Manufacturing sector. When examining manufacturing sub-sectors, Textile, Wearing Apparel and Basic Metals show the highest dependency increase, while Beverages, Tobacco Products and Printing & Reproduction of Recorded Media sub-sectors exhibit the lowest. From this point of view, in order to reduce the import dependency of exports, policies such as increasing export potential, reducing deviations from potential and encouraging vertical integration with the domestic industrial structure, as well as providing tax advantages to encourage the use of domestic intermediate goods especially in sectors with high import dependency can be recommended. Furthermore, technological innovations that allow using domestically produced intermediate goods and capital goods also may create permanent effects on decreasing import dependency.

“…Besides Sözen, 2009;Demir, 2013;Sözen and İskender, 2014;Yılmaz et al, 2015;Katırcıoğlu et al, 2017 analyzed the imported energy dependency in Turkey using other techniques like the cointegration test, error correction model, data envelopment, vector autoregression analysis (VAR), band artificial neural network (ANN). On the other hand, Günlük - Şenesen and Şenesen 2001;Şenesen and Günlük -Şenesen, 2003;Günlük -Şenesen, 2005;Ersungur and Kızıltan, 2007;Eşiyok, 2008;Yükseler and Türkkan, 2008;Ersungur et al, 2011;Yalçın et al, 2012;Aydoğuş et al, 2015;Aydoğuş et al, 2018 focused on import dependence of the manufacturing industry in Turkey, by I-O analysis. The closest research to ours is from Topçuoğlu and Oral (2020) using I-O analysis where the structure, impact, importance, and relationship of the energy sector with other sectors in Turkey are examined.…”

The main goal of this paper is to reveal the extent of the import dependency on electricity, gas, steam, and air conditioning supply (EGSA), the basic component of energy, in Turkey. Such that growing industrialization in Turkey has expanded the need for energy since many sectors use energy as input to produce output. However, Turkey’s domestic production fails to meet the energy demand. For this reason, Turkey meets approximately 75 percent of its energy needs through imports, leading to an increase in the current account deficit. Energy imports, approximately 20 percent of total imports, have become the primary component of the current account deficit, exposing the Turkish economy to instabilities in global gas and oil prices and several additional risks. In this context, we analyzed the extent of the dependency on energy by the input-output tables of 2002 and 2012. The results underline that as production increases, energy imports increase, and the economic leakage generated by the rise in demand for energy increases. This creates a significant obstacle to the development of the Turkish economy. Hence, existing policies for domestic energy production need to be strengthened for sustainable development goals and to decrease the high current account deficit in Turkey.
