Özet

In this article, we empirically investigate the role of global production chains (GPCs) in export survival by using highly disaggregated machinery exports data from Turkey for the period 1998-2013. We contribute to the literature by offering alternative indicators adopted from intra-industry trade to represent more effectively the extent of GPC in a survival analysis. Based on the estimation of a discrete-time logit model with random effects, we find that GPCs have a strong positive influence on the survival probability of Turkey's machinery exports. This impact is even stronger if trade involves vertically differentiated trade and parts and components in particular.
