Abstract

Today innovation is one of the most significant policy tools. From this perspective, the factors affecting innovation are receiving increasing attention. Despite the fact that innovation has the same theoretical meaning for developed and developing countries, its nature differs in terms of the factors affecting it. At the same time, the factors and environment that affect innovation, which is a dynamic process, are changing rapidly. In this respect, these changes and differences should be well observed and analysed.
This study investigates how the knowledge production function works on different country groups by comparing the developed and developing G20 countries with similar market size. In this respect, factors affecting innovation output on both developed and developing G20 countries are discussed. For the countries discussed, the study is carried out with panel data analysis covering 1995-2018 period. Driscoll-Kraay and Arellano-Bond GMM methods are used for panel data analysis. According to the empirical findings of the study, it has been observed that R-D has a positive effect on patent output both in case of a model with prior classification of countries with similar market size into developed and developing and in case of a model with no prior classification. It is also well understood that these effects vary according to the country group. Another important result is that unlike R-D other innovation inputs seem to have different effects according to the development classification of countries. While it is observed that different employment sectors have a significant effect on innovative output for all country groups it is understood that this effect differs according to country groups.

Gelişmiş ve Gelişmekte Olan G20 Ülkelerinin İnovasyon Çıktılarını Etkileyen Faktörlerin Bilgi Üretim Fonksiyonu ile Analizi

Abstract

İnovasyon, günümüzün en önemli politika araçlarından biridir. Bu bakımdan inovasyonu etkileyen faktörler günümüzde ön plana çıkmaktadır. Özellikle gelişmiş ve gelişmekte olan ülkeler için inovasyon teorik olarak aynı anlamı ifade etmesine rağmen onu etkileyen etmenler farklılık göstermektedir. Aynı zamanda dinamik bir sürece de sahip olan inovasyonu etkileyen etmenler ve çıktıları, büyük bir hızla değişmektedir. Bu bakımdan bu değişiklikler ve farklılıklar iyi gözlenmeli ve incelenmelidir.
Bu çalışmada, benzer pazar büyüklüğüne sahip G20 ülkeleri ile yine G20 içinde; gelişmiş ve gelişmekte olarak sınıflandırılan ülkeler karşılaştırarak bilgi üretim fonksiyonunun farklı ülke grupları üzerinde nasıl çalıştığını araştırılmaktadır. Bu bakımdan, gerek G20 gerekse de gelişmiş ve gelişmekte olan ülkeler üzerinde inovasyon çıktısını etkileyen etmenler tartışılmıştır. Ele alınan ülkeler için 1995-2018 dönemini kapsayan panel veri analizi yöntemiyle çalışma yürütülmüştür. Panel analizi için Driscoll-Kraay ile Arellano Bond GMM yöntemi kullanılmıştır. Çalışmanın ampirik bulgularına göre, benzer pazar büyüklüğüne sahip tüm örneklem ile benzer pazar büyüklüğüne sahip fakat gelişmiş ve gelişmekte olarak sınıflandırılan ülkelerde Ar-Ge’nin patent çıktısı üzerinde pozitif bir etkiye sahip olduğu gözlenmiş ayrıca bu etkilerin ülke grubuna göre de değiştiği anlaşılmıştır. Diğer önemli bir sonuç Ar-Ge’nin yanında diğer inovasyon girdilerinin, ülkelerin gelişmişlik sınıflandırmasına göre farklı etkilere sahip olduğu da ortaya çıkmıştır. Tüm ülke grupları için farklı istihdam alanlarının inovatif çıktı üzerinde önemli bir etkiye sahip olduğu görülürken; bu etkinin, ülke gruplarına göre farklılaştığı anlaşılmıştır.
