Abstract

1980’den sonra bilgisayar kullanımının artmasıyla ve internetin hızla yayılmasıyla birlikte bilgi ve iletişim teknolojileri önem kazanmıştır. Bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerinin yaygınlaşması ile birlikte ekonomideki verimlilik de gözle görülür şekilde artmıştır. Ekonomiler, pazar paylarını geliştirip genişletmek, daha az maliyetle üretim yapmak ve verimliliği artırmak amacı ile bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerini kullanmaya yönelmişlerdir.
Bu çalışmada, bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerindeki gelişmeler ile işgücü verimliliği arasındaki nedensellik ilişkilerinin Bootstrap Panel nedensellik testi olan Konya (2006) nedensellik analizi ile 1985-2010 dönemi ve verisi olan OECD ülkeleri için araştırılması amaçlanmıştır. Elde edilen sonuçlar ülkeden ülkeye farklılık göstermiştir. Bazı ülkelerde anlamlı nedensellik ilişkileri tespit edilmişken, bazı ülkelerde herhangi bir nedensellik ilişkisi tespit edilememiştir.

THE EFFECT OF INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES ON LABOR EFFICIENCY IN OECD COUNTRIES

Abstract

Information and communication technologies have gained importance with the increase in computer usage and the rapid spread of the Internet after 1980. Productivity in the economy has increased considerably with the spread of information and communication technologies. Economies have turned to using information and communication technologies in order to develop and expand their market shares, to produce at less cost and to increase productivity.
In this study, it is aimed to investigate the causality relationship between developments in information and communication technologies and labor productivity with the causality analysis of Konya (2006), which is the Bootstrap Panel causality test, for 1985-2010 period and OECD countries with data. The results obtained differed from country to country. While significant causal relationships have been identified in some countries, no causal relationship has been identified in some countries.
