16786

This paper aims to examine long-run and the causal relationships between economic growth, export and human capital in Turkey by using VAR analysis and Granger causality tests over the period 1996–2007. Our findings indicate that a positive and significant long-run relationship exists between economic growth, export, physical capital formation and human capital. Moreover, no direct Granger effect of human capital on economic growth has been found, human capital fosters economic growth in an indirect way for a reason that human capital contributes to export and physical capital formation. Empirical results show that there is a trade effects on growth and export-led growth hypothesis.
