Yenilik Üretimi (Inovasyon) İle Bilgi Ve İletişim Teknolojileri (ICT) Yatırımlarının İnsani Gelişme Endeksine Etkisinin Ekonometrik Analizi

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, yenilik üretimi (inovasyon) ile Bilgi ve İletişim Teknolojileri (ICT) yatırımlarının insani gelişme endeksi üzerindeki etkisi OECD ülkeleri açısından ekonometrik olarak incelenmiştir. Bilindiği gibi insani gelişim endeksi, sosyal, eğitimsel ve ekonomik açıdan yaşam kalitesindeki değişimi ölçmektedir. Diğer yandan, teknolojideki değişimler, ülke ekonomilerinin büyümesine ve toplumsal refaha katkı yapmaktadır. Teknolojik gelişim ise ancak yenilik üreterek ortaya çıkmaktadır. Bilgi ve iletişim teknolojisindeki ilerlemeler ise hem mikro bazda hem de makro bazda ülke ekonomilerine katkı yapmaktadır. Bu sebeple bilgi ve iletişim teknolojisindeki gelişmeler, yenilik üretimi ve insani gelişim endeksi arasındaki karşılıklı ilişkileri çözümlemek, toplumun sosyal ve ekonomik gelişimine yönelik etkin politikalar tasarlanmasına imkân verecektir
