THE IMPACT OF THE INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGIES ON PRODUCTIVITY: CASE OF TURKEY

Yıl 2019, Sayı: 3, 41 - 55, 15.06.0209

Öz

The emergence and
intensive utilization of information and communication technologies (ICTs),
which spawned the beginning of the digitization two decades ago, brought
economic prosperity and sustained long-term productivity growth. The spread of
ICT generates economic growth because it leads to reduction in interaction
costs, expansion of information flows and market boundaries. In other words,
countries with limited ICT infrastructure encounter several economic problems
such as limited information flows, overpriced cost of interaction, reduced
market opportunities and thus low incomes. Therefore, technological
developments have generated considerable interest among academics and
practitioners in recent years. In recent decades, information and communication
technologies, as computers, e-mail, internet and their applications have become
the major drivers of innovation, growth and social change. This study aims to
provide a country study of Turkey with respect to the impact of ICT on the
productivity. At the end of the study, long- term significant statistical
relationship is found between information and communication technology and
productivity in accordance with the literature.

BİLGİ VE İLETİŞİM TEKNOLOJİLERİNİN VERİMLİLİK ÜZERİNE ETKİSİ: TÜRKİYE ÖRNEĞİ

Yıl 2019, Sayı: 3, 41 - 55, 15.06.0209

Öz

Yaklaşık 20 yıl önce dijitalleşme ile birlikte bilgi
ve iletişim teknolojilerinin yoğun kullanımı ekonomik refahı ve uzun vadeli
sürdürülebilir verimlilik artışını desteklemektedir. Bilgi ve İletişim
Teknolojileri (BİT) sayesinde bilgi akışı ve piyasa sınırları genişlemekte,
maliyetler azalmakta ve ekonomik büyüme sağlanmaktadır. Diğer bir söylemle, sınırlı
bilgi ve iletişim teknolojileri altyapısına sahip olan ülkelerde maliyetler
daha yüksek, bilgi akışı daha az, pazar fırsatları daha kısıtlı olmakta ve
dolayısıyla daha düşük gelir elde edilmesi gibi çeşitli ekonomik sorunlarla karşı
karşıya kalınmaktadır. Bu yüzden, son yıllarda bilgi ve iletişim teknolojileri
hem akademisyenler hem de politika uygulayıcıları tarafından dikkat çeken bir
konu haline gelmektedir. Son on yılda, bilgisayar, e-mail, internet kullanımı
gibi bilgi ve iletişim teknolojileri araçları, yeniliği, büyümeyi ve sosyal değişimi
teşvik eden en önemli araçlardır. Bu nedenle bu çalışmanın amacı, bilgi ve
iletişim teknolojilerinin verimlilik üzerine olan etkisinin Türkiye için ortaya
konulmasıdır. Uygulama sonucunda, bilgi ve iletişim teknolojileri ile
verimlilik arasında literatüre uyumlu olarak uzun dönemli bir ilişkinin var
olduğu kanıtlanmıştır.
