Economic growth is one of the most important and discussed topics of economics in the last fifty years. An increase in quantity of output produced in a given time is called economic growth. In order to mention about economic development or growth, there must be continuous increase in production. Otherwise, there would be economic stagnation or recession in the country. In the study, the sources of economic growth are analyzed with panel data of some selected OECD countries for the years 1990-2021 and 1996-2020. 28 OECD countries, which have all dataset in the model, wearere specified as sample in the study. In this sense per capita income (dependent variable), population, technological development (R&D expenses), education (schooling rate), health (infant mortality rate), inflation, foreign direct investment and trade openness are used as variables for the panel data analysis. It is concluded that while foreign direct investments, schooling rate, trade openness, population and R&D variables affect economic growth positively; infant mortality rate and inflation rate affect negatively.
