Özet:

In countries, economic recovery and sustainable economic growth are largely dependent on exports and especially high technology exports. In many studies with theoretical and empirical approaches, factors associated with the volume and performance of high-tech exports have been identified. The aim of this study is to try to evaluate the relationship between some factors identified in previous studies and high technology exports at the level of high-middle income countries. For this purpose, the period between 2000 and 2019 of 26 High-Middle income countries with appropriate data has been analyzed with panel ARDL method. According to the results of the analysis, a positive relationship has been found between high technology exports and research and development expenditures, gross capital formation, trade openness and economic freedom index variables in the long run, while a negative relationship has been found with foreign direct investment. In the short run, there is no relationship between the variables.
