Economic growth literature shows that there is a direct and strong relationship between human capital accumulation and the growth of national income. This study aims to analyze the importance of human capital in regional economic development of Turkey. In terms of data, Turkish Statistical Institute's First Level Regional data has been used for the period of 1990-2001. We considered education and health investments as components of economics growth. Since there is no city level economic growth data available for Turkey, we used GDP figures as indicator of economic growth. In order to determine the regional differences E-Views 5.0 Econometric Package has been used and the required tests have been done. The results indicate that even if not for all, some regions show statistically different characteristics. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
