The Relationship Between Information and Communication Technology (ICT), International Migration and Economic Growth in Turkey
Özet
The paper examines the information and communication technologyinternational migration-economic growth nexus for Turkish economy using
annual time series data covering the period of (1998-2019). Toda-Yamamoto
Causality Test (TY) was used in the application of econometric method The
results obtained indicated that there is a unidirectional causality from
international migration to economic growth in the long run for Turkey. This
is inline with the empirical evidences that external immigrant movements can
promote economic growth in receiving country. Although the form of
migration to Turkey is unclear in terms of skilled or unqualified labor force,
international migrants, even including daytripper workers from neighbour
countries, boost the economic activities especially in agriculture, construction
and service sectors in Turkey. The paper also concluded that there is a oneway causal relationship between ICT and economic growth. The ICT usage
can make a substantial contribution to economic growth of Turkey so Turkish
government should improve the infrastructure of Internet and mobile phone
with a conscious policy initiative. Besides, lastly, it is observed that there is
not a causal relationship between migration and ICT at 5 % for Turkey. It’s
found that there is a unidirectional causality from migration to ICT at 10 %.
