Özet:

Research and development expenditures are one of the key variables which countries have focused on to attain a sustainable growth performance in recent years. Research and development expenditures have export of one country shifted from low technology products to high technology products. This in turn increases export revenues and makes a significant contribution to economic growth, because high technology products yield more value-added products. This study examines the relationship between research and development expenditures and high technology exports in G-8 countries during the period 1996-2011 by using panel data analysis. We found that research and development expenditures and real effective exchange rate had positive impact on high technology exports. Moreover there was bidirectional causality between research and development expenditures and high technology exports and between research and development expenditures and real effective exchange rate and unidirectional causality from high technology exports to real effective exchange rate
