The growth of Turkey in world trade : opportunity or threat for mena countries?

الملخص EN

The aim of this paper is to study the impact of the emergence of the Turkish economy on the MENA region.

We focus on two channels through which MENA countries and Turkey interact, namely FDI and trade flows.

We use different econometric techniques and estimation methods to find that crowding-in effects are more likely than the competitive threat of Turkish economy.
