Büyüme teorisine göre büyümenin belirleyenleri tasarruf ve yatırımlar, beşerî sermaye ve araştırma-geliştirme çabalarının sağladığı teknolojik gelişmedir. Türkiye’nin tasarruf ve yatırım oranları 1988’den beri azalmaktadır. İşgücünün ortalama eğitim seviyesi ve kalitesi giderek yükselmekte ve Türkiye’nin rakipleriyle arasındaki fark kapanmaktadır, ama bu makaledeki tahmine göre, 2023 yılında Türkiye işgücünün eğitim seviyesi ve kalitesi rakiplerinin çoğunun gerisinde kalmaya devam edecektir. Araştırma-geliştirme çabaları da hızla artmaktadır, ama diğer olumsuz gelişmeler dikkate alındığında, araştırma-geliştirme çabalarındaki gelişmenin, 2023 yılında, Türkiye’yi ilk on ülke arasına sokmaya yetmeyeceği sonucuna varılmıştır.This article inquires as to whether Turkey can be among the ten largest economies of the world in 2023.

The reform aimed to create an academia that was more in tune with the new regime while contributing to the scientific needs of the country. One of the most important contributions to the new university that was established during this reform came from an unexpected source: German academics who were forced out of their positions and countries by the Nazi regime. With the help of these refugee scholars, the first Faculty of Economics was established as part of the new university. This article analyzes the contributions of refugee economists and their students to the development of economic thought in Turkey.

This article examines Turkey’s ranking in the world with respect to these four conditions. With respect to all or some of these conditions, if Turkey is ahead of the countries with a higher per capita GDP, then there is a possibility that Turkey may catch up with those countries; if she is behind those countries, by contrast, such a possibility does not exist. The results reached in this research are negative. For a great many of these conditions, Turkey is behind the countries with a higher per capita GDP. This implies that, unless there is an improvement in these conditions, Turkey cannot catch up with the countries ahead of her.

We show, first of all, that education plays an important role in determining the output per worker Secondly, we show that depending on the way in which technology is characterised, the level of education is a significant factor in assessing the level of development. Finally, it is shown that, in addition to human capital, transfer of technology also plays an important role in the determination of output per worker and, hence, the level of development.

The first Ottoman treatises in modern economics began to be written in the second quarter of the nineteenth century, close to 300 years after the emergence of the subject during the Mercantilist era. The nineteenth century witnessed a gradual increase in economic analyses, together with the introduction of the subject in various institutions of higher education. However, a breakthrough in the development of economic thinking in the country had to wait until the foundation of the Republic in 1923, the emergence of the journal Kadro and the establishment of Istanbul University a decade later. This article traces the emergence and development of economics in the Ottoman Empire and in the first decade and a half of the Turkish Republic.
