Employing dynamic panel data techniques, this paper investigates entry behavior in 66 four-digit Turkish manufacturing industries for the 1993-1999 period. The results of this paper suggest that potential entrants observe the market before the entry takes place; entry is, in general, a follow-up process; and incumbent firms seem to collude to prevent entry in Turkish manufacturing industries. In addition, the real interest rate appears to be a very important determinant of entry decision.eninfo:eu-repo/semantics/closedAccessentryexitdynamic panel dataTurkish manufacturingConference ObjectQ1Q1272-3275287WOS:000241797900012
