RESEARCH, INNOVATION AND PRODUCTIVITY: AN ECONOMETRIC ANALYSIS AT THE MANUFACTURING SECTOR IN TURKEY

İşgücü
verimliliğinin üç belirleyicisi vardır. Birincisi insan sermayesi, ikincisi teknolojik
değişim, üçüncüsü ise imalat maliyetlerini azaltan ölçek ekonomisidir. Bu
çalışmada, ikinci faktör, teknolojik değişim, yenilik test edilecektir.
Türkiye'deki yerli patentlerin sayısı, yabancı patent sayısından önemli ölçüde
daha düşüktür. Bu nedenle, yenilikçi ürünler azdır. Ancak, patent sayısı
arttıkça, yenilikçi satışlar artacak ve bu da işgücü verimliliğini
artıracaktır. Yeni inovasyon ve keşifler, yeni ürünlerin ortaya çıkmasına ilham
kaynağı olur ve bu da emek verimliliğini artırır. Bu çalışmada Türkiye'de
imalat sektöründe verimlilik, yenilik ve araştırma arasındaki bağlantıyı
araştırmak için CDM modeli kullanılmıştır. Bu amaçla, Türkiye İstatistik Kurumu
ve Türk Patent ve Marka Ofisi’nden elde edilen; çalışan başına düşen patent
sayısı, Ar-Ge biriminde istihdam edilen personel başına ciro, çalışan başına
katma değer kullanılmaktadır. En son yayınlanan veriler 2015'e ait olduğundan,
2009-2015 yıllarına ait veriler kullanımıştır. Panel verileri kullanılarak
tahmin edilen modele göre, patent sayısındaki artış yenilikçi satışların
artmasına ve yenilikçi satışların artması da işgücü verimliliğinin artmasına
neden olmaktadır.
