Özet:

 The purpose of this study, which examines the effects of imports of intermediate goods on company productivity, is to investigate what kind of situations the use of imports of intermediate goods for the resource creation stages of companies production processes creates in terms of increases and decreases in production efficiency, in the context of discussions on the role of international trade in increasing growth in general and productivity in production in particular. It is especially important to investigate the effects of imports for developing countries such as Turkiye, whose production level largely depends on imports and which necessarily imports in high amounts. Based on this issue, our company-level research on the effects of intermediate goods imports aims to contribute to the very limited number of micro-scale studies on Turkiye on the relevant subject in the literature. In our research, a sample of 174 companies, all of which are engaged in foreign trade and have two-way openness in terms of import-export, were examined with static panel data regression analysis within the scope of 2009-2019. According to the empirical findings, no statistically significant relationship was found between the production efficiency of companies and the volume changes in intermediate goods imports of companies. The effect of the supply of intermediate goods from foreign sources and thus the imported intermediate goods inputs used in the production processes in terms of the changes in the production efficiency of the companies was not found to be significant.

 Ara malı ithalatının firma verimliliğinde meydana getirdiği etkilerin incelendiği bu çalışmanın amacı, genel çerçevede büyümenin ve bilhassa üretimde verimliliğin artırılmasında uluslararası ticaretin rolü tartışmaları bağlamında, firmaların üretim süreçlerinde kaynak yaratma aşamaları için ara malı ithalatını kullanmalarının üretim verimliliği artış ve azalışları bakımından ne tür durumlar yarattığının araştırılmasıdır. Özellikle, üretim düzeyi büyük ölçüde ithalata bağlı olan ve zorunlu olarak yüksek miktarlarda ithalat yapan Türkiye gibi gelişmekte olan ülkeler açısından ithalatın yarattığı etkilerin araştırılması önem arz etmektedir. Bu hususa istinaden ara malı ithalatının etkilerine ilişkin firma düzeyli olarak gerçekleştirdiğimiz araştırmamız, literatürde ilgili konuda Türkiye üzerine mikro ölçekli çok sınırlı sayıda olan çalışma alanına katkıda bulunmayı amaçlamaktadır. Araştırmamızda tamamı dış ticaret yapan ve ithalat-ihracat bakımından iki yönlü dışa açıklığı bulunan 174 adet firma örneklemi 2009-2019 yılları kapsamında statik panel veri regresyon analiziyle incelenmiştir. Elde edilen ampirik bulgulara göre, firmaların üretim verimliliği ile firmaların gerçekleştirdikleri ara malı ithalatı hacim değişimleri arasında istatistiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki saptanmamıştır. Firmaların üretim verimlilikleri değişimleri açısından yurt dışı kaynaklardan yapılan ara malı tedariğinin ve bu sayede üretim proseslerinde kullandıkları ithal ara malı girdilerinin etkisi anlamlı bulunmamıştır.
