Abstract

The construction sector in Turkey has boomed in the last decade, under the authorisation of central and/or local public bodies. In view of the fact that construction as a production activity is often cited among both causes and remedies in the context of regional and global crises, this paper studies employment and import generation structure of the Turkish construction sector. In order to unravel the interactions of the construction sector with the rest of the economy, Structural Path Analysis of both labour and imported intermediate input demand generation is undertaken. Sectoral import responses are larger than employment responses in manufacturing sectors, exceptions being labour intensive domestic sectors like trade, transportation, mining, agriculture and finance. Findings of this integrated analysis of paths are discussed with reference to the favourable growth performance of the economy concomitant with persistent unemployment and current account deficits.
