Abstract
This study is intended to discuss turning a broken global supply chain into an opportunity by Turkey in post-COVID-19 period and the possibility to be an alternative to China in the sectors in which Turkey is more advantageous and solution seeking to repair the employment structure which has been damaged in pandemic process. Partial direct backward linkages coefficients of both countries were calculated and Leontief similarity test and Spearman correlation test were applied to the obtained coefficients, and the results of both tests were evaluated together. As a result of the analysis, sectors having the advantage of Turkey's foreign trade is as follows: “manufacture of food products”, “manufacture of textiles”, "manufacture of other non-metalic mineral products", "construction" “manufacture of articles of straw and plaiting materials” and “manufacture of computer, electronic and optical products, manufacture of electrical equipment”. The activities of the first 4 of these sectors are among the 6 activities which were published by TOBB and they were most affected by the Covid-19 outbreak and closed down.electronic and optical products, manufacture of electrical equipment”.
Highlights
COVID-19 caused millions of people to become ill and the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people and global disruptions occurred in supply chains
While the global supply chain was at the forefront before the COVID-19 epidemic, it is among the possibilities that the concepts of selfsufficiency and regional foreign trade partnership will come to the fore in the period after the epidemic, if this expectation is realized
The changing balances with COVID-19 are examined in terms of global trade and employment in the first part of the study, the studies comparing the sectors of the country on the basis of input-output analysis are examined in the second part, the consolidation principles used in the analysis carried out are explained, the theoretical basis of the analysis is created, the analysis is applied and the obtained results are described in detail in the third part
Summary
COVID-19 caused millions of people to become ill and the deaths of hundreds of thousands of people and global disruptions occurred in supply chains. Looking for solutions for Turkey's economy to overcome this multi-dimensional global crisis with little damage constitutes the main motivation of the study. For this purpose, the changing balances with COVID-19 are examined in terms of global trade and employment in the first part of the study, the studies comparing the sectors of the country on the basis of input-output analysis are examined in the second part, the consolidation principles used in the analysis carried out are explained, the theoretical basis of the analysis is created, the analysis is applied and the obtained results are described in detail in the third part.
