TI  - RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN EMPLOYMENT, CONFIDENCE INDEX, AND COST INDEX: AN APPLICATION FOR THE TURKISH CONSTRUCTION SECTOR
AB  - The manufacturing industry is the real driver of growth for developing country economies. However, the sectors that trigger economic growth differ due to geographical reasons and structural changes. The construction sector is also one of those sectors that have a share in economic growth in some countries. In this case, the structure of the construction sector, the concerns about the future of the sector, and the labor supply to which the sector responds gain importance. In the study, the cost structure in the Turkish construction sector, the expectations of the sector stakeholders, and how much it is affected by the economic structure were analyzed with the data. Since it is a sector that has a say in employment, to what extent the employment structure of the sector is affected by the current economic situation was also investigated. Since the variables used in the study are not frequently encountered in the literature, the aim is to analyze the relationship between the variables, while providing solidity to the literature on this subject. In the analysis made using the monthly data of the Turkish Statistical Institute (TUIK), the relationship between employment rates, sector confidence index, and cost index for the construction sector in Turkey between the years 2015-2020 was analyzed with ADF-PP and Toda-Yamamoto Causality Test. In the study, no causality relationship was found from the construction sector confidence index to the employment rate. It was concluded that as the number of workers in the construction sector increased, the confidence in the construction sector also increased.
