Together with this expansion, there was also a significant increase in intra-industry trade even though the major characteristic of Turkish trade is still inter-industry. However, since intra-industry trade is hypothesised to reduce adjustment costs due to trade expansion and changes in trade patterns, this paper investigates whether this so-called “smooth adjustment hypothesis” holds for Turkey, in view of the developments in the post-1980 period.
