Abstract :The purpose of this paper is to investigate the likely effects of the Customs Union between Turkey and the EU on the profitability of Turkish manufacturing industry\`. With that aim, the determinants of the price-cost margins of 12 Turkish manufacturing sub-sectors for the years 1994-2000 are estimated by using panel data analysis. Our results suggest that the import ratio has an inverse effect on the price-cost margin of the Turkish manufacturing industry. Similarly, our study also indicates that there is a negative relation between the export ratio and the price-cost margin. Thus, it can be concluded that by creating competitive effect the Customs Union decreased the price-cost margins in the Turkish manufacturing industry.
