Abstract

This study examines the impact of research and development (R&D)
expenditures on high technology exports from 7 Newly Industrialized
Countries during the period 1996-2013 by using panel data analysis. The
data for high technology exports are used from 5 different manufacturing
sectors, which are accepted by the World Bank. We found that R&D
expenditures had positive impact on high technology exports. Moreover,
there was one-way causality relationship running from R&D expenditures
to high technology exports.

* YENİ SANAYİLEŞEN ÜLKELERDE AR-GE HARCAMALARI VE YÜKSEK TEKNOLOJİ ÜRÜNÜ İHRACATI ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİNİN PANEL VERİ ANALİZİ YÖNTEMİ İLE İNCELENMESİ

Abstract

Bu çalışmada, Ar-Ge harcamalarının yüksek teknoloji ürünü ihracatına
etkisi 7 yeni sanayileşen ülkenin 1996-2013 dönemi verilerine panel veri
analiz yöntemlerinden Granger nedensellik ve sabit ve rassal etkiler tah-
min metotları uygulanılarak analiz edilmiştir. Çalışmada, Dünya Bankası
tarafından yüksek teknoloji ürünü olarak kabul edilen 5 sektörün verileri
kullanılmıştır. Granger nedensellik testi sonucuna göre Ar-Ge harcamaları
yüksek teknoloji ürünü ihracatına neden olurken, rassal etkiler tahmin so-
nuçları da Ar-Ge harcamalarının yüksek teknoloji ürünü ihracatına pozitif
ve anlamlı etki ettiğini göstermiştir.
