Planning for growth, the case of Turkey

First, the structure of the economy over the 1952-1970 period has been approximated by a macroeconometric model and alternative growth rates of GDP derived. Second, sectoral output expansion consistent with the overall growth rates of GDP has been determined within the input output system, sectoral labor demand estimated, and sectoral average wage incomes compared. The results of the study can be summarized in two categories: the conclusions from the macro model and those from the input-output system. Policy implications of these results are discussed under four categories: the public sector, the agricultural sector, industrialization policies, and the labor strategy and income distribution.
