Özet
Product-by-product Input-Output structure models are well suited for specific analytical purposes, such asproductivity, cost structure comparison, etc. These models show analytically the economic structure and therelations of sectors with each other in a national economy. In this study, input-output relations between agriculturaland other sectors of national economy, amounted to 59, are analyzed on the data published by TurkStat (TurkishStatistical Institute), in order to determine cost (input) structure of the production and, backward - forwarddependency of the sector. According to the 2002 results, agricultural activities produced the largest supply, besidessecond largest Gross Added Value among 59 sectors in the national economy. Agriculture was fourth biggestinput user of the economy for this production on the contrary. However, 44% of the direct input requirement isprovided by the sector itself and 56% of the direct inputs were bought from outer suppliers only. MechanizationTools & Services have the biggest, 13% share, in supplying industries. This means that mechanization relatedproducts and services are the most important issues in cost composition of the agricultural production. It followsby Fertilizer & Chemicals, Trade & Finance, Transport, Electricity & Waterworks and others with 10, 7, 5, 2 and13% shares sequentially. The shares of the outer sectors are decreased for the total inputs comparing with thedirect inputs. Additionally, the total inputs required from energy related sectors have gain more importance thanas the direct inputs is considered only. Agriculture has a fewer “Backward Dependency Coefficient” compared toother sectors; it is supported by mostly itself. The rank was 46 among 59 sectors. On the other hand, agriculturehas a one of the highest “Forward Dependency Coefficient” compared to other sectors; it transfer most of itsproducts to other sectors.
