Küresel Rekabet Gücü ve İhracat Performansı İlişkisi: OECD Ülkeleri Örneği

Öz

Bu çalışmanın amacı, OECD ülkeleri için 2006-2019 dönemi arasında küresel rekabet endeksi, temel gereklilikler endeksi, etkinliği artırıcılar endeksi, yenilik ve gelişmişlik endeksi ile ihracat performansı arasındaki ilişkiyi analiz etmektir. Analiz kapsamında yatay kesit bağımlılığı dikkate alan ve durağan olmama durumunda da etkin bir tahminci olan Genişletilmiş Ortalama Grup (AMG) tahmincisi kullanılarak heterojen panel veri analizi uygulanmıştır. AMG tahmincisinden elde edilen bulgulara göre, panelin genelinde küresel rekabet endeksi, temel gereklilikler endeksi, etkinliği artırıcılar endeksi, yenilik ve gelişmişlik endeksi ile ihracat performansı arasında pozitif ve istatiksel olarak anlamlı bir ilişki olduğu tespit edilmiştir.

The Relationship Between Global Competitiveness and Export Performance: The Case of OECD Countries

Abstract

The aim of this study is to analyze the relationship between global competitiveness index, basic requirements index, efficiency enhancers index, innovation and sophistication index and export performance for OECD countries between the period of 2006-2019. In the study, heterogeneous panel data analysis was applied by using the Augmented Mean Group (AMG) estimator, which takes into account the cross-sectional dependence and is an effective estimator in the case of non-stationarity. Based on the AMG results, we found that there is a positive and statistically significant relationship between the global competitiveness index, basic requirements index, efficiency enhancers index, innovation and sophistication index and export performance throughout the panel.
