ŞEKİLLENMİŞ TEKNOLOJİ YAYILIMI İLE VERİMLİLİK ARASINDAKİ BAĞLANTI: BİLGİ ÜRETİMİ

Abstract

Bu çalışma, çeşitli ekonomilerde sektörler arası ara mal işlemleri yoluyla şekillenmiş teknoloji akışlarını incelemekte ve bunların inovasyonla olan bağlantılarına ilişkin belirsizliğe odaklanmaktadır. Şekillenmiş araştırma transferi’nin endüstriler arasındaki ara mal işlemleri yoluyla emek verimliliği üzerindeki doğrudan etkisi ile bilgi yaratma yoluyla dolaylı etkisini karşılaştırıyoruz. Araştırma sermayesi için bir ağırlıklandırma yöntemi olarak girdi-çıktı tablolarını ve çoklu denklem GMM yaklaşımını kullanıyoruz. Model, emek verimliliğini ve bilgi üretimini ölçen iki denklemden oluşmakta, bilgi üretimi verimliliğin açıklayıcı değiskeni olarak ölçülmektedir. Eşzamanlı denklem sonuçlarımız, şekillenmiş teknoloji yayılmalarının her iki kanalının da anlamlı olduğunu göstererek, tanıttığımız sistemi desteklemektedir. Bilgi üretimi yoluyla teknoloji transferinin doğrudan ve dolaylı kullanımı aracılığıyla emek verimliliğinin arttığını gözlemliyoruz.

THE NEXUS BETWEEN EMBODIED TECHNOLOGY DIFFUSION AND PRODUCTIVITY: KNOWLEDGE PRODUCTION

Abstract

This study examines embodied technology flows through intermediate good transactions between industries in various economies and focuses on the ambiguity about their link to innovation. The model consists of two equations measuring labor productivity and knowledge production, and knowledge production is measured as the explanatory variable of productivity. We compare direct effect of embodied research transfer on labor productivity through intermediate good transactions between industries and its indirect effect via knowledge creation. We use input-output tables as a proximity mechanism for research capital and utilize production function approach. Simultaneous equations results support the system we introduce, indicating that both channels of embodied technology spillovers are significant. We observe that labor productivity soars with direct and indirect utilization of technology transfer via knowledge production.
