ABSTRACT
In this paper we attempt to investigate technical aspects of the sources of the post-1980 growth path in Turkey. Sectorial data over the post 1980 era reveal that the industrial sectors have generally been reduced to a secondary position as the domestic economy redirected its priorities towards services and construction. Furthermore, our growth decomposition analysis suggests that sources of growth over this period came largely from accumulation of imported capital, and that the sources from gains in labor employment and technical productivity enhancements had been on a declining path.
