Abstract

Technological innovation is considered a key element of industrialization and determines the efficiency of a country's pattern of opening up. The role of innovation in building a strong export system is related to various channels of domestic innovation and international technology spillovers. The impact of innovation on exports can be associated with domestic R&D efforts and technological spillovers of foreign R&D. The strongest consensus in the theoretical literature is that exports are often a by-product of the innovative activities of domestic firms. This study investigates the causality relationship between the number of R&D personnel working in the manufacturing industry and exports in Turkey. The study covers the period 2009-2022. Toda Yamamoto causality analysis was used to test causality and a bidirectional causality relationship was found both from exports to R&D personnel and from R&D personnel to exports. In order to further increase the export competitiveness of Turkey's manufacturing industry, some suggestions can be made, such as paying attention to the development of digital infrastructure, optimizing the integration of the manufacturing sector and the digital economy, and increasing international cooperation in digital technology innovation.

Özet

Teknolojik inovasyon, sanayileşmenin kilit bir unsuru olarak kabul edilmekte ve bir ülkenin dışa açılma modelinin verimliliğini belirlemektedir. Güçlü bir ihracat sisteminin oluşturulmasında inovasyonun rolü, çeşitli yerli inovasyon kanalları ve uluslararası teknoloji yayılımları ile ilişkilidir. İnovasyonun ihracat üzerindeki etkisi, yurtiçi Ar-Ge çalışmaları ve yurtdışı Ar-Ge'nin teknolojik yayılımları ile ilişkilendirilebilir. Teorik literatürdeki en güçlü fikir birliği, ihracatın genellikle yerli firmaların yenilikçi faaliyetlerinin bir yan ürünü olduğu yönündedir. Bu çalışmada Türkiye’de imalat sanayinde çalışan Ar-Ge personeli sayısı ile ihracatları arasındaki nedensellik ilişkisi araştırılmıştır. Çalışma 2009-2022 dönemini kapsamaktadır. Nedenselliği test etmek için Toda Yamamoto nedensellik analizi kullanılmış olup hem ihracattan Ar-Ge personeline hem de Ar-Ge personelinden ihracata doğru iki yönlü nedensellik ilişkisi bulunmuştur. Türkiye’nin imalat sanayisinin ihracat rekabet gücünü daha da artırmak için dijital altyapının geliştirilmesine dikkat edilmesi, imalat sektörü ile dijital ekonominin entegrasyonunun optimize edilmesi ve dijital teknoloji inovasyonunda uluslararası işbirliğinin artırılması gibi bazı önerilerde bulunulabilir.
