The main objective of this study is to reveal causal relationship between labor markets and trade liberalization in Turkey. In the analysis, cointegration test, standard Granger causality test and Hsiao causality test were used. The results of analysis show that there is not any long-term causality relationship between the variables. As results of both causality tests indicate that the trade liberalization negatively affects the labor markets. On the other hand, the study has not found any causal relationship from labor markets to trade liberalization.
