İHRACAT PERFORMANSI AÇISINDAN TEKNOLOJİK YENİLİĞİN ÖNEMİ: TÜRKİYE İMALAT SANAYİ ÖRNEĞİ

Abstract

Teknolojik yenilikler ihracat performansının arttırılmasında önemlidir. Fakat teknolojik yeniliklerin girdisi olarak kabul edilen Araştırma-Geliştirme Ar-Ge harcamalarının ihracat performansı üzerindeki etkilerini araştıran ampirik literatürde birbiriyle uyumlu olmayan sonuçlara ulaşılmıştır. Bu çalışmanın amacı, literatürdeki tartışmaya katkı sağlamaktır. Çalışmada 1995–2005 yılları arasında Türkiye imalat sanayi sektörlerinin yapmış oldukları ihracat ile Ar–Ge harcamaları arasındaki ilişki panel veri analizi ile test edilmiştir. Ar-Ge harcamalarının ihracat üzerindeki etkisinin daha çok gecikmeli olarak ortaya çıktığı bulunmuştur.

THE IMPORTANCE OF TECHNOLOGICAL INNOVATION FROM THE PERSPECTIVE OF EXPORT PERFORMANCE: THE CASE OF TURKISH MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY

Abstract

Technological innovations are important with regard to increasing export performance. However, the results that had been reached in the empirical literature investigating the effects of R&D expenses which is accepted as input of technological innovation on the export performance are not compatible with each other. The purpose of this study is to contribute to the discussion in the literature. Between years 1995–2005, a panel data analysis was used to test the relationship between Turkish manufacturing industries’ exports, and the R&D expenses. It was found that the effect of the R&D expenses on export performance was substantially lagged
