he literature discusses middle-income trap as middle income group of countries can not
reach high income group. This problem arises from inability to create sufficient infrastructure during
their development process. Therefore countries attempt to increase technological infrastructure-based
R&D to reach high income group of countries. This study aims to assess the role R&D on MIT for
European Union and Turkey. In this paper effect of R&D on MIT was investigated for EU-28
(Luxembourg, Denmark, Swedish, Netherlands, Austria, Finland, Germany, Belgium, Ireland, France,
England, Italy, Spain, Cyprus, Slovenia, Greece, Portugal, Malta, Czech Republic, Estonia, Slovak
Republic, Lithuania, Latvia, Poland, Croatia, Hungary, Romania, Bulgaria) and Turkey. Relationship
among per capita income, R&D and savings were analyzed by using Westerlund Bootstrap Westerlund
Durbin-Hausman cointegration and Hacker and Hatemi-J bootstrap causality in panel data analysis.
The result of the study concludes a long term relationship among variables. A unidirectional causality
was found from per capita income to R & D. But no causality effect was found from R & D to per
capita income and between other variables as well.

AR-GE HARCAMALARININ ORTA GELİR TUZAĞI ÜZERİNE ETKİSİ: AVRUPA BİRLİĞİ VE TÜRKİYE İÇİN PANEL VERİ ANALİZİ

Literatürde orta gelir tuzağı, orta gelir grubundaki ülkelerin kalkınmasında yeterli alt yapıyı
oluşturamaması nedeniyle bir üst gelir grubuna çıkamamasını açıklamaktadır. Ülkelerin yüksek gelir
grubuna geçebilmesi için teknolojik alt yapıya dayalı Ar-Ge harcamalarına ayrılan payın önemi
artmaktadır. Çalışmanın amacı Avrupa Birliği ülkeleri ve Türkiye için orta gelir tuzağı (MIT) üzerinde
Ar-Ge harcamalarının rolünün değerlendirilmesidir. Bu bağlamda çalışmada AB-28 (Lüksemburg,
Danimarka, İsveç, Hollanda, Avusturya, Finlandiya, Almanya, Belçika, İrlanda, Fransa, İngiltere,
İtalya, İspanya, Kıbrıs, Slovenya, Yunanistan, Portekiz, Malta, Çek Cumhuriyeti, Estonya, Slovak
Cumhuriyeti, Litvanya, Letonya, Polonya, Hırvatistan, Macaristan, Romanya, Bulgaristan) ve Türkiye
açısından Ar-Ge harcamalarının orta gelir tuzağı üzerine etkisi araştırılmıştır. Seçilen ülke grubu için
2000-2014 dönemi için panel veri analizi kullanılarak Westerlund Bootstrap, Westerlund DurbinHausman
eşbütünleşme ve Hacker ve Hatemi-J bootstrap nedensellik testi yöntemleriyle kişi başına
düşen gelir, Ar-Ge harcamaları ve tasarruflar arasındaki ilişki incelenmiştir. Elde edilen bulgulara
göre söz konusu değişkenler arasında uzun dönemli bir ilişki bulunmuştur. Kişi başına düşen gelir Arge
harcamalarının nedeni çıkmış iken, Ar-Ge harcamalarından kişi başına düşen gelire doğru ise
doğrudan bir nedensellik ilişkisi yoktur. Ayrıca diğer değişkenler arasında da başka bir nedensellik
ilişkisi bulunamamıştır.
