Girişimcilik ve İnovasyonun Ekonomik Büyüme Üzerindeki Etkisi: Ampirik Bir Araştırma

Abstract

Bir toplumun refah ve zenginlik seviyesinin yükselmesi büyümeyi etkileyebilme münasebeti ile gelişen girişimcilik ve inovasyon potansiyeline bağlıdır. Küreselleşme ve bilgi iletişim teknolojilerinde meydana gelen hızlı değişimler ile birlikte girişimcilik ve inovasyon verimliliği arttıran en önemli unsurlar haline gelmiştir. Dolayısıyla birçok gelişmiş ve gelişmekte olan ülkede sürdürülebilir ekonomik büyümenin temel kaynağı olarak girişimcilik ve inovasyon gösterilmektedir. Bu bağlamda çalışmada girişimcilik ve inovasyonun ekonomik büyüme üzerindeki etkisi 2002-2013 yıllarını kapsayan, verileri tam olan 9 OECD ülkesinin GEM verilerinden yararlanılarak panel veri analizi ile incelenmiştir. Araştırma bulgularına göre kurulan beş modelde de teknolojik inovasyon yoğunluğunun pozitif ve anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olduğu, yeni firma yaratma olarak değerlendirilen girişimciliğin ise sadece olgunlaşmamış girişimcilik oranı ve zorunluluğa dayalı girişimcilik faaliyeti olarak girişimciliğin kurgulandığı modellerde ekonomik büyüme üzerinde pozitif ve anlamlı bir etkiye sahip olduğu bulunmuştur
