Abstract

Science and technology (S&T) indicators are important in evaluating how successful countries are in factors described by endogenous growth models. Accordingly, the aim of this paper is to investigate S&T indicators of Turkey in a comparative and more hitherto comprehensive study and to present a guiding reference for researchers and decision makers working on innovation and technology policies. This study was carried out using online databases such as those of the OECD, World Bank, Eurostat, and TÜİK considering the criteria used in the literature to measure countries’ R&D and innovation performances, and Turkey’s innovative performance is presented in comparison with the world’s by summarizations within the scope of the study. The results demonstrate that Turkey has made significant progress in the last 20 years in terms of R&D and innovation, but it is still far from reaching the indicators of developed countries. In particular, the increase in R&D and innovation performance has decreased due to the economic difficulties experienced in the world and in Turkey after 2012 and 2013. Based on the indicators evaluated in this study, some suggestions are given and prioritized to increase Turkey’s innovation performance.

土耳其科技指标比较研究

科技指标对于评估一个国家在内生增长模型所描述的因素方面的成功程度非常重要。因此，本文的目的是对土耳其的科技指标进行比较和更全面的研究，并为从事创新和技术政策的研究人员和决策者提供指导性参考。本研究是利用经合组织、世界银行、欧盟统计局和TÜİK等在线数据库进行的，考虑了文献中用于衡量各国研发和创新绩效的标准，并通过研究范围内的总结将土耳其的创新绩效与世界的创新绩效进行了比较。结果表明，近20年来，土耳其在研发和创新方面取得了显著进步，但距离发达国家的指标仍有很大差距。特别是，由于2012年和2013年之后世界和土耳其经历的经济困难，研发和创新绩效的增长有所下降。根据本研究评估的指标，提出了提高土耳其创新绩效的建议和优先级。
