Öz
The aim of this study is to research whether there is a statistically significant relationship between R&D expenditures and firm profitability. In this study 66 manufacturing firms, listed Istanbul Stock Exchange (ISE) between 2010 and 2013 and spending incessantly on R&D in relevant years, were analyzed. Also, Panel Least Squares regression method was used. In this context, a multiple regression model was established to measure the effect on Return Assets (ROA) of R&D expenditures. In the established multiple regression model R&D expenditures, leverage ratio and firm size variables were used as independent variables. As a result, it was determined that one year lagged R&D expenditures have positive and statistically significant effect on firm profitability. Also, it was seen that leverage ratio has negative effect on firm profitability.
