This paper investigates the innovative capabilities of the Turkish economy by using a new Turkish patent data set for the period 1985-1999. The technological composition of the granted patents is presented by making a distinction between resident and non-resident applicants. The so-called auto-sufficiency and revealed technological advantage indices are calculated to determine whether the sector under consideration is selfsufficient in terms of generating its own technology. Finally, resident applications/grants are grouped according to their sources of innovations (i.e., academics, individuals, public and private corporations) in order to ascertain the innovative capabilities of each sub-group.

Innovation patterns in firms and intra-industry heterogeneity empirical evidence from Turkey Yurtseven, Alp Eren; Pamukcu, Mehmet Teoman (2022-03-01) This paper aims to explore sector-level sources of intra-industry heterogeneity of innovation patterns among Turkish firms. We constructed a taxonomy of innovative firms and explored the different modes of innovation. We then analyzed the sector-level determinants of intra-industry heterogeneity. Analysis results indicate that groups of firms within the same sector that display distinct innovation characteristics and firm's resource position, knowledge base, and cooperation behavior have a bearing on firms'...
Long run relationship between entry and exit: time series evidence from Turkish manufacturing industry Soytaş, Uğur (2006-12-01) This paper investigates the long run relationship between entry and exit using aggregate annual data from the Turkish manufacturing industry for the period 1968-2001. The time series properties of the data imply that simple OLS regressions may yield spurious results. We employ both bivariate and multivariate models to test for Granger causality. Utilizing relatively new time series techniques, we find that exit Granger causes entry in the long run, but not vice versa. However, unlike many empirical fin...
Consideration of Network Constraints in the Turkish Day Ahead Electricity it Market Sahin, Cem (2018-11-01) This paper proposes a new model for the Turkish Day Ahead Electricity Market including network equations. The existing one does not implicitly consider the power flow limitations, and these are considered separately that might result with a suboptimal day-ahead schedule. The dc network equations are added to the model, which is used to determine the Day Ahead System Sell and Buy Decisions and System Marginal Price in day-ahead planning. The impact of integration of network equations is exhibited using a sma...
Technological innovation activities in Turkey: the case of manufacturing industry, 1995-1997 Uzun, A (2001-03-01) This paper is based on the initial findings of a nation-wide survey of technological innovation activities of 2100 firms in Turkish manufacturing industry. Our findings show that the innovation activities are more widespread in the firms having large sizes of employment. In some sectors of manufacturing industry 60-80% of the firms undertake innovation activities. Improving the product quality and opening up new markets rank at the top of the main objectives of innovation activities. In-house R&D turn out t...
Appraising the integration of sustainable development into sectoral policies: The case of Turkish Science and Technology policies Erdil, Erkan (Science And Technology Policies Research Center, Middle East Technical University (Ankara, Turkey), 2009) This paper presents the results of a study investigating how sustainable development can be integrated in Turkish science and technology policies. It contributes to the elaboration of the national sustainable development strategy and to the implementation of the EU acquis. The project’s originality for Turkey lies in its methodology (a participatory approach), and in its topic since sustainable development integration has never been dealt with in Turkey. Suggestions to improve this integration include stren...
