In this study by employing revealed comparative advantage analyze the competitive of Turkey in the ECO market (except Afghanistan, Uzbekistan, Tajikistan and Turkmenistan). Our research is based on different measures of revealed comparative advantage (RCA) indices (in addition to simple Balassa Index) and Vollrath index. The consistency and stability of different measures of RCA is also tested. At the end of measuring Turkey has revealed comparative advantage in the labor material intensive goods and has maintained this advantage for years.
