AR-GE HARCAMALARI İLE İHRACAT ARASINDAKİ İLİŞKİ: TÜRKİYE ÖRNEĞİ, 1990-2011.

Historically all the countries have been in a constant effort to increase the level of prosperity of their societies. The policies implemented together with this effort affected significantly the level of development. When considering the economy of Turkey, the outward oriented and export-led growth policies followed in the period after 1980, have led to a rapid increase in exports and also to a change in the nature of the products exported. In this context it is clear that, the labor-intensive export structure emerged after the mid-1990s has evolved into a technology-intensive dominant structure in recent years. It is very certain that this structural transformation will also affect the amount of R&D needed in export sectors. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
