Empirical findings of this study are that instabilities in foreign exchange and real exchange rate appreciation has negative role on TFP growth, on the other hand, growth of export of goods, imports of intermediate goods as a share of GDP, growth of public real infrastructure investments and current account deficit as a share of GDP have positive impacts on TFP growth. Inflation rates, interest rates, public sector borrowing requirement and foreign direct investment inflow insignificant variables to determine TFP growth in the Turkish economy. Also, in this thesis, the Turkish economy is investigated in the context of import-substituting industrialization period, export-led growth period and post-financial liberalization period.Can, RaifM.S

In contrast with most previous publications, this paper investigates these determinants in an emerging country, Turkey, at the provincial level between 2004 and 2014. We find that GDP/capita, population, distance to alternative airports, tourism, leading cities, and international migrations all support more air traffic. Furthermore, market concentration is associated with less traffic, and the presence of academics with more traffic. Mapping models' residuals suggest catchment areas, surface transport options, domestic migrations and (geo)politics could also matter. Accordingly, it appears the determinants of Turkey's air passenger traffic do not differ from those of developed economies. The results also suggest new airports should be built based on the aforementioned factors.
