  25. OECD-WTO Joint Database on “Trade in Value Added” (TiVA) [ Current Coverage: 2005, 2008, 2009; Planned Coverage: since 1995 ] What is Trade in Value Added? “Trade in value-added describes a statistical approach used to estimate the source(s) of value (by country and industry) that is added in producing goods and services for export (and import). It recognises that growing global value chains mean that a country's exports increasingly rely on significant intermediate imports (and, so, value added by industries in upstream countries). For example, a motor vehicle exported by country A may require significant parts, such as engines, seats etc produced in other countries. In turn these countries will use intermediate inputs imported from other countries, such as steel, rubber etc to produce the parts exported to A. The Trade in value-added approach traces the value added by each industry and country in the production chain and allocates the value-added to these source industries and countries.” Source & More Info: http://www.oecd.org/trade/valueadded Database: http://stats.oecd.org/Index.aspx?DataSetCode=TIVA_OECD_WTO WTO’s Trade Data Day: 16 January 2013, http://www.wto.org/english/res_e/statis_e/miwi_e/tradedataday13_e/tradedataday13_e.htm Linkages

  30. Empirical Observations on Turkish-Austrian Trade in Goods: Major Conclusions? • Turkey’s and Austria’s shares in global trade in goods have increased between 1980 and 2011. • However they are still not major players/exporters in world goods markets. • To a large extent, the trade between Turkey and Austria consists of two-way trade of “machinery and transport equipment” (SITC-7) and “manufactured goods” (SITC-6). • Moreover, Turkey and Austria are in general not unignorable trade partners for each other. • Possible reasons to think that this fact will not change easily in a short period of time: • Austria’s orientation towards new EU member countries (EU12) to make more trade since early 1990s. • Turkey’s trade orientation towards MENA region countries & Russian Federation since early 2000s. Back to Question?

  31. What then may occur, or is there still room for politics/initiatives to promote bilateral trade? • Positive indirect effects of labor movements and/or immigrants on Turkish exports to Austria? • Possible effects of Austrian FDIs in Turkey on bilateral trade between Turkey and Austria: • Substitution of existing trade with production in Turkey: negative effects? • Increases in exports of intermediate goods from Austria to Turkey: positive effects? • Austria and Turkey both have free market economies, and producers and exporters in both countries are free to choose where to export. • Both countries are WTO members too. • So, should we wait and see what happens? No ? ? Or?

  33. “Turkish Day” in Vienna, Austria (2009) Economic Linkages between Austria & Turkey: International Migration • Labor mobility between Turkey and Austria is functioning to a great extent in a one-way direction: from TR to A. • OECD’s “International Migration Database” shows that the stock of Turkish population in Austria is more than 113 thousand persons as of 2010.

  37. President Gül’s Austria visit to boost economic relationship Vienna, May 2011 Still Room for Politics, or Political Initiatives? • High level political initiatives from both sides to foster trade in goods between two countries may be key to succeed in increasing the trade volume between two countries. • Governmental organizations and platforms to strengthen the economic linkages between Turkey and Austria? • Transition to green economy: • Joint green investments? • Joint green R&D efforts? Institutions?
