As a result of developments in science and technology, the determinants of economic growth have also changed. Accordingly, factors such as technology, education, human capital and knowledge have started to be needed to increase economic growth. New growth models have emerged to explain this situation. According to these models, both the quality and quantity of the goods and services will increase with the technical knowledge resulting from R&D activities. This increase in production will encourage exports and cause an increase in income in the treasury. In this study, the relationship between R&D investments, high-tech product exports (ICT) and economic growth in OECD countries selected for the period of 1996-2017 is tested by panel data analysis. As a result of the analysis, one-way causality relationship was determined from R&D investments to economic growth. In addition, it is concluded that there is a bilateral causality relationship between economic growth and ICT and R&D investments and ICT.
