Ordu-Üniversite-Sanayi İşbirliğinin Ekonomik Gelişme Üzerindeki Rolü

Abstract

The cooperation between the different institutions in an economic system, is one of the elements that contributes to the development of the economic system. The main purpose of this study is to analyze the main determinants of growth rate of the defense industry based patent production as a concretized indicator of the information economics, in order to determine in which ways the army-university-industry cooperation will contribute to economic development. In this study, generated basic and derivative hypotheses were tested using panel data method on NATO countries and were developed an econometric model to provide and improve the army-university-industry cooperation. The contribution of the army-university-industry cooperation to economic development have been revealed with a model proposal. According to the results of analysis, the basic dynamics that determined the growth rate of patent production resulting from army-university-industry cooperation are the share of technological progress of army on national income received by the army, the share of university R&D expenditures in total R&D expenditure and technological gap levels of the countries. It’s observed that any reduction in technological gap levels of the countries or any increase in military-oriented technological progress or the share of university R&D expenditures in total R&D expenditure increases the growth rate of patent production resulting from the army-university-industry cooperation.
