Bu çalışma, çeşitli ekonomilerde sektörler arası ara mal işlemleri yoluyla şekillenmiş teknoloji akışlarını
incelemekte ve bunların inovasyonla olan bağlantılarına ilişkin belirsizliğe odaklanmaktadır. Şekillenmiş
araştırma transferi’nin endüstriler arasındaki ara mal işlemleri yoluyla emek verimliliği üzerindeki
doğrudan etkisi ile bilgi yaratma yoluyla dolaylı etkisini karşılaştırıyoruz. Araştırma sermayesi için bir
ağırlıklandırma yöntemi olarak girdi-çıktı tablolarını ve çoklu denklem GMM yaklaşımını kullanıyoruz.
Model, emek verimliliğini ve bilgi üretimini ölçen iki denklemden oluşmakta, bilgi üretimi verimliliğin
açıklayıcı değiskeni olarak ölçülmektedir. Eşzamanlı denklem sonuçlarımız, şekillenmiş teknoloji
yayılmalarının her iki kanalının da anlamlı olduğunu göstererek, tanıttığımız sistemi desteklemektedir.
Bilgi üretimi yoluyla teknoloji transferinin doğrudan ve dolaylı kullanımı aracılığıyla emek verimliliğinin
arttığını gözlemliyoruz.

THE NEXUS BETWEEN EMBODIED TECHNOLOGY DIFFUSION AND PRODUCTIVITY: KNOWLEDGE PRODUCTION

Öz

This study examines embodied technology flows through intermediate good transactions between industries
in various economies and focuses on the ambiguity about their link to innovation. The model consists
of two equations measuring labor productivity and knowledge production, and knowledge production
is measured as the explanatory variable of productivity. We compare direct effect of embodied research
transfer on labor productivity through intermediate good transactions between industries and its indirect
effect via knowledge creation. We use input-output tables as a proximity mechanism for research capital
and utilize production function approach. Simultaneous equations results support the system we introduce,
indicating that both channels of embodied technology spillovers are significant. We observe that labor
productivity soars with direct and indirect utilization of technology transfer via knowledge production.
