Analysis of the impact of global innovation indicators on enhancing Turkish exports for the period (2011-2021)

Abstract

The study analyzed the impact of global innovation indicators in enhancing Turkish exports for the period (2011-2021). The importance of the study comes from the importance of the impact of global innovation indicators in stimulating Turkish exports, in order to benefit from them in Turkey in the future. The problem of the study lies in the following question: - Is there an impact of global innovation indicators on Turkish exports during the period (2011-2021), while the study aims to demonstrate the impact of global innovation indicators on Turkish exports during the period (2011-2021). The hypothesis of the study is:

1- The study assumes a direct impact of each of the indicators (institutions, human capital, infrastructure research, market development, business environment development, knowledge and technology outputs) on Turkish exports.

2- The study assumes that there is an inverse effect of the indicator (creative outputs) on Turkish exports.

  The study reached a number of conclusions and recommendations, the most important of which are:

1- The study proved that there is a long-term direct and balanced relationship between human capital and research with exports, that is, when increasing one unit of the human capital index, it will lead to an increase in exports by (21,906) units.

2-The study proved that there is a long-term direct and balanced relationship between the market development index and Turkish exports, that is, when increasing one unit of the market development index, it will lead to an increase in exports by (15.274).

3- The study proved that there is a long-term inverse and balanced relationship between the creative outputs index and Turkish exports, that is, when the creative outputs index is increased by one unit, it will lead to a decrease in Turkish exports, and this is due to the weakness of innovations in the Turkish economy. Based on the conclusions, it recommends the following:

1- It is the responsibility of the Turkish government to work to enhance global innovation indicators in order to enhance its exports, especially exports of services in the Turkish economy.

2- It is the responsibility of the Turkish Ministry of Higher Education to increase spending on scientific research and cognitive training in order to provide the labor market with qualified personnel in Turkey.

3- It is imperative for the Turkish government to work to establish the Creativity and Innovation Authority in the Kurdistan Region in order to encourage and develop ideas and then transform them into reality.
