Abstract

Bu çalışmada Asya Kaplanları, (Hong Kong, Güney Kore, Singapur), Çin ve Türkiye için Ar-Ge harcamaları ile kişi başına düşen gelir arasındaki ilişkilerin araştırılması amaçlanmaktadır. Bu amaç doğrultusunda değişkenler arasındaki ilişkiler Konya (2006) tarafından geliştirilen bootstrap panel nedensellik testi kullanılarak araştırılmaktadır. Çalışmada 1998-2016 dönemi verileri kullanılarak analizler yapılmaktadır. Analiz sonuçlarına göre Hong Kong ve Güney Kore’de Ar-Ge harcamalarından kişi başına düşen gelire doğru tek yönlü nedensellik ilişkisi vardır. Öte yandan, Çin ve Türkiye’de ise kişi başına düşen gelirden Ar-Ge harcamalarına doğru tek yönlü nedensellik ilişkisi vardır. Son olarak, bu nedensellik ilişkilerinin katsayıları ise pozitiftir.

Causality Relationships Between Per Capita Income and Research and Development (R&D) Expenditures in Asian Tigers, China, and Turkey

Abstract

This study aims to investigate the relationship between R & D expenditures and per capita income for Asian Tigers (Hong Kong, Korea, Singapore), China, and Turkey. For this purpose, the relationships between variables are investigated using the bootstrap panel causality test developed by Konya (2006). In the study, analyses are made by using data for the period 1998-2016. According to the analysis results, there is a unidirectional causality relationship from R&D expenditures to per capita income in Hong Kong and Korea. On the other hand, there is a unidirectional causality relationship from per capita income to R&D expenditures in China and Turkey. The coefficients of these causality relationships are positive.
