COMPARATIVE ANALYSIS OF THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN R&D INDICATORS AND ECONOMIC GROWTH IN THE PROCESS OF TÜRKİYE’S FULL MEMBERSHIP TO THE EUROPEAN UNION

Abstract

The main purpose of this study is to comparatively investigate the existence, direction and size of the possible relationship between R&D indicators and growth as a result of innovation and R&D policies in Türkiye's EU full membership negotiation process and to test the hypothesis that there is a positive relationship between innovative R&D policies and economic growth. For this purpose, annual data for the period 2005-2021 on growth and five R&D indicators (R&D expenditures, number of researchers, number of patents, high technology exports, number of scientific publications) for Türkiye and the general average of 27 EU countries were compiled from the World Bank and Eurostat databases and their course was interpreted through figures. In addition, in accordance with the trend in applied studies, in this study, firstly, stationarity (KPSS unit root test) and cointegration (ARDL bounds test) analyzes from time series analyses were performed for the variables and then the relationship between R&D indicators and growth was estimated with a multiple regression model. According to the findings, it was determined that all series for the EU and Türkiye (except LnGSYHt for Türkiye) comply with the I(1) process and there are no long-term relationships between them.
