Abstract

Instead of making R&D expenditures, developing countries generally obtain technology either directly by transferring technology or indirectly by importing technology contained commodities. In this study, using the Turkey’s case, the relationship between foreign trade and economic growth is investigated in terms of knowledge transfer through foreign trade for the period 1989-2009. Using Johansen cointegration method and VAR methodology, the effect of knowledge transfer through foreign trade on economic growth is investigated in terms of direction and dimension. The estimations reveal that knowledge transfer through capital and intermediate goods imports has no significant effect on economic growth of Turkey in the period investigated. Comparisons of variables show that the effect of knowledge transfer through less knowledge contained intermediate goods imports is higher than the effect of knowledge transfer through high knowledge contained capital goods imports. This result implies that Turkey should import more capital goods and have enough human capital to use technology within capital goods

Özet

Gelişmekte olan ülkeler AR-GE harcaması yapmak yerine daha çok ya doğrudan teknoloji transfer ederek veya teknoloji içeriğine sahip malları ithal ederek dolaylı yoldan teknolojiye sahip olmaktadırlar. Yapılan bu çalışmada Türkiye örneği üzerinde dış ticaret ve ekonomik büyüme ilişkisi, dış ticaret ile sağlanan bilgi transferleri yönünden incelenmiştir. Çalışmada Türkiye'nin 1989-2009 yıllarını kapsayan veri seti ile Johansen Eşbütünleşme Testi ve VAR yöntemleri kullanılarak dış ticaret yoluyla gerçekleşen bilgi transferlerinin ekonomik büyümeye etkisinin yönü ve boyutları tespit edilmiştir. Yapılan tahmin sonuçları incelenen dönemde Türkiye'nin ekonomik büyümesinde, sermaye malları ithalatı ve ara malları ithalatı ile sağlanan bilgi transferinin önemli bir etkisinin olmadığını göstermektedir. Değişkenlerin etkisi karşılaştırıldığında ise daha düşük seviyede bilgiyi barındıran ara malı ithalatının daha yüksek bilgi içeren sermaye malı ithalatına göre ekonomik büyüme üzerinde daha fazla etkisinin olduğu sonucuna ulaşılmıştır. Bu sonuç Türkiye'nin daha fazla sermaye malları ithal etmesi ve bu mallardaki ileri teknolojiyi özümseyecek beşeri sermayeye sahip olması gerektiğini ima etmektedir
