A Theoretical Investigation about the Relationship of Economic Growth and Research & Development (R&D) Expenditure

Abstract

In the economics literature, it has been investigated for a long time whether technology and Research and Development (R&D) activities have an effect on economic growth. Technological innovations contribute to the economic growth by increasing productivity in the production process. One of the most important factors in technological innovations are R&D activities. Today, many economists point out the differences of R & D activities and technological knowledge as the reason of differences in countries economic levels. In this study, the opinions of some great economists about R&D and technology in the economic literature, associated economic growth models as Pre Endogenous Growth Model period and Endogenous Growth Models period and R&D issues were examined under headings.
