Çalışmanın amacı, G7 ülkelerinde teknolojik gelişme ile ekonomik büyüme arasındaki ilişkisinin 1996-2018 dönemini içeren verilerle panel nedensellik yöntemiyle incelenmesidir. Çalışmada teknolojik gelişme, Ar&Ge harcamaları ve patent başvuruları olmak üzere iki farklı gösterge ile ölçülmüştür. Emirmahmutoğlu ve Köse (2011) panel nedensellik testi sonuçlarına göre, teknolojik gelişme ile ekonomik büyüme arasındaki ilişkinin kullanılan göstergeye göre farklılık gösterdiği tespit edilmiştir. Teknolojik gelişme Ar&Ge harcamaları ile ölçüldüğünde, Ar&Ge harcamaları ile ekonomik büyüme arasında çift yönlü bir nedensellik ilişkisinin varlığı kanıtlanmıştır. Teknolojik gelişme patent başvuruları ile ölçüldüğünde ise, ekonomik büyümeden teknolojik gelişmeye doğru tek yönlü bir nedenselllik ilişkisi gözlemlenmiştir.

THE CAUSAL NEXUS BETWEEN TECHNOLOGICAL DEVELOPMENT AND ECONOMIC GROWTH: AN EVIDENCE FROM G7 COUNTRIES

Öz

The aim of this study is to examine the relationship between technological development and economic growth in G-7 countries over the period of 1996-2018 using panel causality method. In study, technological development is measured by R&D expenditures and patent applications. According to Emirmahmutoglu ve Kose (2011) panel causality test results, the relationship between technological development and economic growth differs according to the indicator used. When the technological development is measured by R&D expenditures, the existence of a bidirectional causality relationship between R&D expenditures and economic growth has been proven. When the technological development is measured by patent applications, a unidirectional causality relationship from economic growth to technological development has been observed.
