Türkiye'de rekabet, ar-ge, inovasyon ve ekonomik büyüme: Nasıl bir ilişki söz konusudur?

İçsel büyüme teorisi endüstrilerin içinde bulunduğu rekabet koşulları, yürüttükleri Ar-Ge faaliyetleri, gerçekleştirilen inovasyonlar ve bunların ekonomik büyüme üzerine etkilerine odaklanmıştır. Üç nesil olarak gruplandırılan içsel büyüme modellerinin üçüncü nesli, rekabet artışının Schumpeter etkisini yenip endüstrilerdeki inovasyon yoğunluğunu artırarak büyümeyi tetikleyeceği görüşündedir. Bu görüş gelişmiş ülkeler için ampirik verilerle desteklenmektedir. Gelişmekte olan ülkeler için ise ilgili modelleri sınayabileceğimiz veri tabanı henüz mevcut değildir. Bu eksiklik Türkiyedeki politika yapıcıların gelişmiş ülkelerin sanayi politikalarının gelecekte nasıl şekillenebileceğini kestirememelerine neden olabilir. Çalışma rekabet, Ar-Ge, inovasyon ve ekonomik büyüme arasındaki ilişkiye odaklanarak Türkiyenin dünyadaki yerini üçüncü nesil içsel büyüme teorileri ışığında 2003-2014 dönemi için analiz etmeyi amaçlamaktadır.

Competition, r&d, innovation and economic growth in Turkey: What linkage?

The developments in endogenous growth theory have focused on competitive conditions of industries, R&D efforts thereof, innovations achieved and their overall effect on economic growth. Different from the previous growth models classified as three generation, the third generation models agree that an increase in competition overwhelms usual Schumpeter effect and promotes the density of innovations in industries and triggers the overall growth rate of the economy. These findings are also verified by the empirical data for developed countries. However, it has still been impossible to reach whole data and statistical information required for testing the models for developing countries. This deficiency may result in Turkish policy makers not being able to envisage the course of future industrial policies of developed countries. The present study aims to fill this gap and to respond the question given in the title of the study through third generation endogenous growth theories and empirical approach for the period of 2003-2014.
