KAYSERĠ CITY’S FURNITURE INDUSTRY COMPETITIVE POWER: REVEALED COMPARATIVE ADVANTAGE INDEX
Abstract :
The furniture industry has an important position both in Turkey and in Kayseri. With the emergence of many companies creating employment and engaging in manufacturing and exports, the city has become a major furniture production center. In this study we have tried to determine the comparative advantage of Kayseri compared with both the world and Turkey and to determine the comparative advantage of Turkey compared with the world. This study is of great importance because it is aimed to reveal the structure of comparative advantage by making comparisons with Turkey and the World to explain the revealed comparative advantage index. The revealed Competitive Advantage Index (RCI) shows that the export of the furniture industry in Kayseri has a comparative advantage compared with the world and Turkey but this advantage has experienced a declining trend over time.
