Özet:

With the increase of globalization, international interaction is increasing in many areas. One of the areas where this similarity takes place is the similarities in the goods and services demanded by the countries. In the face of this situation, countries with export competitiveness in international trade are more profitable. Therefore, producing products suitable for foreign demand and offering these products to international markets provide countries with a competitive advantage. From this point of view, in our study, we investigated the effect of exports diversity on economic growth for the Turkish economy. However, the difference of our study from other studies is that export data is handled in groups in terms of technological intensity. The study covers the period 1989-2020. ARDL boundary approach test was used. As a result of empirical applications, it has been observed that there is a long-term relationship between exports and economic growth in Turkey. It has been seen that labor-intensive goods have a positive effect on economic growth, while capital and technology-intensive goods have a negative effect. No significant relationship could be obtained between the export of raw material-intensive goods and economic growth.
