Abstract

Bu çalışmada seçili Ekonomik
İşbirliği ve Kalkınma Örgütü (OECD) ülkeleri için 1995 – 2013 yıllık verileri
kullanılarak araştırma ve geliştirme (Ar-Ge) harcamalarının patent başvuru
sayıları üzerindeki etkisinin tahmil edilmesi amaçlanmaktadır. Bu doğrultuda değişkenler
arasındaki uzun dönemli ilişkinin varlığını ortaya koymak üzere Westerlund Panel
Eşbütünleşme yaklaşımı ile uzun ve kısa dönemli katsayıları tahmin etmek
amacıyla Ortalama Grup Tahmincisi (MGE) ve Havuzlanmış Ortalama Grup Tahmincisi
(PMGE) yöntemleri kullanılmıştır. Eşbütünleşme testi ile değişkenler arasında
uzun dönemli ilişki tespit edilmiş ve uzun dönemde araştırma ve geliştirme
harcamalarının patent başvuru sayıları üzerindeki etkisinin pozitif olduğu
bulunmuştur.

THE IMPACT OF RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENDITURES ON NUMBER OF PATENT APPLICATIONS: AN APPLICATION ON SELECTED OECD COUNTRIES

Abstract

In this study, it was aimed to
estimate the effect of research and develeopment (R&D) expenditures on number
of patent applications using annual data from 1995 to 2013 for selected
Economic Cooperation and Development Organization (OECD) countries.  Accordingly Westerlund Panel Cointegration approach
for the purpose of determining long run relationship among variables, Mean
Group Estimator (MGE) and Pooled Mean Group Estimator (PMGE) methods with the
aim of estimating long and short - run coefficients were used. The
cointegration test illustrated that there was a long-run relationship between
the variables. The effect of research and development expenditures on number of
patent applications was found to be positive in the long run. 

Keywords

R&D Expenditures, Pooled Mean Group Estimator (PMGE), Innovation, Number of Patent Application
