İnovasyon ve Güven Esaslı Sosyal Sermayenin Ekonomik Büyüme Üzerindeki Olası Etkileri: 43 Ülkeden Panel Veri Analizi

Abstract

İnsanların ortak hedeflere ulaşmak için eylemleri koordine etmelerini sağlayan sosyal yapıya gömülü normlar ve sosyal ilişkiler olarak tanımlanan sosyal sermaye, ülkelerin sahip olduğu güven düzeyi ile ölçülmektedir. Sosyal sermayenin olası etkileri katılım, bilgi transferi, risk azaltmak ve inovasyondur. Ekonomik büyümenin bilgi yoğun tarafında önemli artışların yaşanması bilgi yaratma ve bilgi transferine ilgiyi arttırarak bilgi yaratmanın en önemli yönü olan inovasyona odaklanılmasına yol açmıştır. İnovasyon işbirlikçi öğrenme, fikir üretme ve fikir gerçekleştirme uygulamalarına bağlıdır ve aynı zamanda sosyal sermayeyi ekonomik büyümeye dönüştüren önemli bir mekanizmadır. 2017-2020 döneminde 43 ülkeden kanıtlar sunan çalışmada, inovasyon ve sosyal sermayenin ekonomik büyüme üzerinde belirleyici olduğunu ve ayrıca güven düzeyi yüksek toplumlarda bu belirleyiciliğin daha etkin; güven düzeyi düşük ülkelerde ise etkinliği azaltıcı etki yaptığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

Possible Effects of Innovation and Trust-Based Social Capital on Economic Growth: Panel Data Analysis from 43 Countries

Abstract

Social capital, defined as the norms and social relations embedded in the social structure that enable people to coordinate actions to achieve common goals, is measured by the level of trust that countries have. Possible effects of social capital are participation, knowledge transfer, risk reduction and innovation. Significant increases in the knowledge-intensive side of economic growth have increased the interest in knowledge creation and knowledge transfer, leading to a focus on innovation, which is the most important aspect of knowledge creation. Innovation depends on collaborative learning, idea generation and idea realization practices, and is also an important mechanism that transforms social capital into economic growth. In the study, which provides evidence from 43 countries in the 2017-2020 period, it is stated that innovation and social capital are determinants on economic growth, and that this determinant is more effective in societies with high levels of trust; In countries with low confidence levels, it has been concluded that it has a reducing effect on effectiveness.
