This book investigates the causes of Turkish export-boom after 2000 by concentrating on cost and productivity aspects of the production in the manufacturing sector. Moreover, the importance of these factors is examined for the rising and declining sectors.

Dynamic panel data technique is employed for these analyses. By considering the case of Turkey the book shed light on the basic determinants of export performance in developing countries.
