TR5 (West Anatolia) Region With an Application on the Performance of Innovation Capacity

Abstract

Economic decision units are need in order to raise competitiveness and economic growth to provide resource to develop social welfare in the age of knowledge economy. The economic structure in these resources are emerging innovation. Therefore, the new world economy as a production factor is important where innovation of analyzing the relationship between economic growth. In this study, the relationship between regional innovation and economic growth are investigated by MATLAB program normalization methods. In this context, the innovation performance and capacity of the regions aim to develop within the scope of the level 1 metrics that allow comparison of the average regions in Turkey. Among the variables to determine the normality was performed by Kolmogorov-Smirnov statistical fit test. Also the z-score normalization method that should be applied information is presented about the regions innovation policies of determined the levels.
