Özet:

The supporting countries of the free trade have started to argue that these measures should be revoked by the developments in the 20th centrury and globalism. A new protectionist approach has been developed by these countries in order to protect their interest in the domestic markets as well as international markets when the tariff measures were lowered. These restraining measures of the new protectionist approach are called non-tariff measures. In this study, the non-tariff measures are analyzed to understand whether there is a restrictive impact on the Turkish textile industry in the globalised world. Accordingly, a panel data set is generated from the Turkey’s highest 20 import relations between 2005 and 2013 and gravity model is applied. Estimated results by Parks-Kmenta estimator of random effect method of the gravity model reveals that import quotas have a negative impact on Turkish textile imports. Besides the import quotas, sum of Turkey and exports countries GDP, distance to Turkey, and relative factor endowment of Turkey and exports countries have impacts on the Turkish textile imports.
