THE EFFECT OF HEALTH RESEARCH AND DEVELOPMENT EXPENDITURES ON ECONOMIC GROWTH

Öz:
This study aims to determine the effect of health R&D (Research and Development) expenditures on economic growth at the level of 10 countries (Czech Republic, Hungary, Korea, Poland, Portugal, Slovakia, Turkey, Romania, Russia, and South Africa) by using data between 2004-2019. Gross Domestic Product (GDP) as representative of economic growth; as the representative of R&D Expenditures in health, Health R&D Expenditures were considered. In the analysis of the relationships between variables Least Square Test, Granger Causality Test, Cointegration Tests, FMOLS and DOLS tests were applied within the framework of Panel Data Analysis. The existence of a bidirectional Granger-type causality relationship between Health R&D Expenditures and GDP and the long-term cointegration relationship between them was determined. FMOLS and DOLS analysis results revealed the positive effect of Health R&D expenditures on economic growth. The results showed that health R&D activities play an important role in general R&D activities in the countries covered by the study and that health R&D expenditures/investments positively affect economic growth.

SAĞLIKTA ARAŞTIRMA VE GELİŞTİRME HARCAMALARININ EKONOMİK BÜYÜME ÜZERİNDEKİ ETKİSİ

Öz:
Bu çalışma, sağlık alanında Araştırma ve Geliştirme (Ar-Ge) harcamalarının ekonomik büyüme üzerindeki etkisini belirlemek amacıyla 2004-2019 yılları arasında sağlık Ar-Ge harcamalarına ait düzenli verisi bulunan 10 ülke düzeyinde (Çek Cumhuriyeti, Macaristan, Kore, Polonya, Portekiz, Slovakya, Türkiye, Romanya, Rusya ve Güney Afrika) analizler yapılmıştır. Ekonomik büyümenin temsilcisi olarak Gayri Safi Yurtiçi Hasıla (GSYİH); Ar-Ge Harcamalarının sağlıktaki temsilcisi olarak Sağlık Ar-Ge Harcamaları araştırma değişkenleri olarak ele alınmıştır. Değişkenler arasındaki ilişkilerin analizinde Panel Veri Analizi çerçevesinde En Küçük Kareler Testi, Granger Nedensellik Testi, Eş bütünleşme Testleri, FMOLS ve DOLS testleri uygulanmıştır. Sağlık Ar-Ge Harcamaları ile GSYİH arasında çift yönlü Granger tipi nedensellik ilişkisinin varlığı ve aralarında uzun dönemli eşbütünleşme ilişkisi tespit edilmiştir. FMOLS ve DOLS tahmin yöntemlerinden elde edilen temel bulgular, sağlık alanında araştırma ve geliştirme harcamalarının ekonomik büyüme üzerinde pozitif yönde etkisi olduğunu ortaya koymuştur. Çalışma kapsamında değerlendirilen ülkelerde sağlık Ar-Ge harcamalarının/yatırımlarının ekonomik büyümeyi olumlu yönde etkilediği tespit edilmiştir.
