BRICS Ülkelerinin Hizmet Ticaretinde Açıklanmış Karşılaştırmalı Üstünlükleri

Abstract

Regardless of the level of development, the services sector has an important place in changing the economic structure, ensuring economic growth, decreasing unemployment and increasing exports for countries. In this study, competitiveness in 12 service sub-sectors for the BRICS country group and each country in the group was examined by using the Revealed Comparative Advantage (RCA) index for the period 2016-2020. As a result of the study, it has been determined that BRICS countries have a comparative advantage against the world in construction services, telecommunications, computer and information services and other business services. When the countries in the BRICS group are evaluated separately, China has a strong comparative advantage in manufacturing services on physical inputs owned by others, and Russia in construction services. However, there is no service sub-sector with strong comparative advantage for India, Brazil and South Africa.

Evaluation of Comparative Advantages of Trade in Service in Türkiye with RCA and TBI Indices

“…Findings obtained from the study of Eken and Yazıcı (2022), in which they investigated the competitiveness of 12 sub-service branches of Turkey in the 2013-2019 period using the RCA index, show that Turkey has a high level of comparative advantage in transportation and transportation services, and a moderate comparative advantage in insurance and maintenance-repair services. Dumrul and Kılıçarslan (2022), on the other hand, investigated the competitive advantages of 12 sub-service sectors of the BRICS countries in 2016-2020 using the RCA index. According to the findings obtained from the study, BRICS countries are in the position of a country with a comparative advantage in construction, telecommunications, computer informatics, and other commercial services.…”
