Türkiye’de Ar-Ge Faaliyetlerini Desteklemeye Yönelik Bir Politika Aracı Olarak Teşviklerin Firma Yenilik Performansına Etkileri

Bu çalışmada Türkiye’de faaliyet gösteren firmaların kamu kurumlarından aldığı Ar-Ge teşviklerinin firma yenilik performansına etkisi olup olmadığı araştırılmaya çalışılmıştır. Çalışmada Dünya Bankası tarafından 2015 yılı için Girişim Anketi ile toplanan Türkiye’ye ait 6006 firma verisi kullanılmaktadır. Bağımlı değişken olarak firmaların ürün, süreç, pazarlama, tedarik ve organizasyonel yeniliklerinin toplamı olarak gösterilen yenilik yapma ikili değişkeni kullanılmıştır. Kamu teşviklerinin yanı sıra tam zamanlı çalışan sayısının, firma yaşının, ihracat, firma büyüklüğü, yönetici deneyimi ve yönetici mezuniyetinin yenilik üzerindeki etkileri incelenmiştir. Sadece firmaların kamu hibesi alıp almamalarının değil, hibe miktarı ve hibeyi veren kurumun hangisi olduğunun da yenilik yapma olasılığını arttırdığı sonucuna ulaşılmıştır.

The Effects of Incentives on Firm Innovation Performance as a Policy Tool to Support R&D Activities in Turkey

In this study, it is investigated whether the R&D incentives, received by companies operating in Turkey from public institutions, have an effect on firm innovation performance or not. Data from 6006 companies for Turkey, collected by the World Bank’s Enterprise Survey at 2015 are used in the study. As a dependent variable, the binary variable of innovation - which is the sum of the product, process, marketing, supply and organizational innovations of the companies-was used. In addition to public incentives, the effects of the number of full-time employees, firm age, exports, firm size, executive experience and executive graduation on innovation were examined. It has been concluded that not only whether the companies receive public grants or not, but also the amount of grant and the institution giving the grant increases the possibility of innovation.
