THE RELATIONSHIP BETWEEN R&D PERSONNEL AND EXPORT IN TURKEY'S MANUFACTURING INDUSTRY: AN APPLICATION WITH TODA YAMAMOTO CAUSALITY ANALYSIS
Abstract
Technological innovation is considered a key element of industrialization and determines the efficiency of
a country's pattern of opening up. The role of innovation in building a strong export system is related to various
channels of domestic innovation and international technology spillovers. The impact of innovation on exports
can be associated with domestic R&D efforts and technological spillovers of foreign R&D. The strongest
consensus in the theoretical literature is that exports are often a by-product of the innovative activities of
domestic firms. This study investigates the causality relationship between the number of R&D personnel working
in the manufacturing industry and exports in Turkey. The study covers the period 2009-2022. Toda Yamamoto
causality analysis was used to test causality and a bidirectional causality relationship was found both from
exports to R&D personnel and from R&D personnel to exports. In order to further increase the export
competitiveness of Turkey's manufacturing industry, some suggestions can be made, such as paying attention to
the development of digital infrastructure, optimizing the integration of the manufacturing sector and the digital
economy, and increasing international cooperation in digital technology innovation.
