Özet:

Summary In this study, the validity of Linder Hypothesis in the export of goods of Turkey within the period 2003-2018 is empirically questioned. The analysis carried out in line with this objective also responds to the question of what are the factors that direct the export of Turkey. While the analysis of the study takes advantage of the Extended Traction model, the prediction process of the econometric model uses the Fixed Effects, Hausman-Taylor and Amemia-MaCurdy methods. The findings of the study have shown that the basic draw variables meet theoretical expectations, while the Linder hypothesis has concluded that it is not applicable to exports to Turkey. In this context, rather than preferential similarities with the country of trade partner in exports of Turkey, the factor equipment differences play an effective role. This findings indicate the increasing importance of vertical specialization in exports to Turkey. In this context, it can be said that access to the target export level depends on the successful performance of adding to the global value chains.
