The Relationship Between Human Capital And The Export of Information And Communication Technology: A Study of G7 Countries Based on A Panel Error Correction Model Analysis

Year 2020, Volume: 22 Issue: 39, 239 - 249, 30.12.2020

Abstract

In today's information age the acceleration of technological advances increases the importance of information and communication technologies. Many countries increase their physical and human capital investments in the information and communication technologies sector to increase their production power and exports. In this study, the long and short-term relationships between exports of information and communication technology products and higher education graduate employment are analyzed by means of pooled mean group estimator, mean group estimator and dynamic fixed effects estimator. The study covers G-7 countries (Canada, Germany, France, Italy, England, Japan and the USA) and Japan is not included in the analysis due to lack of data. In the study evaluating the period between 2003-2018, it was concluded that the results of the Hausman test mean group estimator were valid. According to the pooled average group estimator results, the existence of a long-term relationship between information and communication technology products exports and higher education graduate employment has been confirmed.

Bilgi ve İletişim Teknolojileri Malları İhracatı ve Beşeri Sermaye Arasındaki İlişki: G-7 Ülkeleri İçin Panel Hata Düzeltme Modeli Analizi

Year 2020, Volume: 22 Issue: 39, 239 - 249, 30.12.2020

Abstract

Bilgi çağının yaşandığı günümüzde teknolojik ilerlemelerin hız kazanması bilgi ve iletişim teknolojilerinin önemini arttırmaktadır. Birçok ülke bilgi ve iletişim teknolojileri sektöründe üretim gücü ve ihracat artışı sağlamak adına sektöre yönelik fiziksel ve beşeri sermaye yatırımlarını arttırmaktadır. Bu çalışmada bilgi ve iletişim teknolojileri ürünleri ihracatı ile yüksek öğretim mezunu istihdam arasındaki uzun ve kısa dönemli ilişkiler havuzlanmış ortalama grup tahmincisi, dinamik sabit etkiler tahmincisi ve ortalama grup tahmincisi aracılığı ile analiz edilmektedir. Çalışma G-7 ülkelerini (Kanada, Almanya, Fransa, İtalya, İngiltere, Japonya ve ABD) kapsamakta ve veri eksikliğinden dolayı Japonya analize dahil edilmemektedir. 2003-2018 yılları arası dönemin değerlendirildiği çalışmada Hausman testi ile havuzlanmış ortalama grup tahmincisinin sonuçlarının geçerli olduğuna kanaat getirilmiştir. Havuzlanmış ortalama grup tahmincisi sonuçlarına göre bilgi ve iletişim teknolojisi ürünleri ihracatı ve yüksek öğretim mezunu istihdamı arasında uzun dönemli ilişkinin varlığı doğrulanmıştır.
