Özet: Countries trade with each other for many reasons such as economic growth, technical progress, cost advantage, and income to the treasury. Because of these advantages, various trade theories have emerged. It is defined as the trade between industries, which is explained by classical trade theories and economically produces full homogeneous goods under fixed income conditions according to the scale of countries with different characteristics while the economy is at full employment level. Countries with similar characteristics over time have started to trade differentiated goods under constant return conditions. The classical trade theories of this type of trade, which are described as intra-industry foreign trade, cannot be explained and new trade theories have emerged. In this study, intra-industry trade calculated by using standard Grubel Lloyd Index for Turkey and its biggest trade partner Germany in 2018 in terms of most traded sectors, SITC 78 Coded Automotive, SITC 84 Clothing, SITC 67 Iron and Steel, SITC 05 Coded Chemistry and SITC 00 Coded food. According to the results, the trade between Turkey and Germany is inter-industry trade rather than intra-industry trade.
