Regional Innovation Performances in Turkey

The purpose of this study is to provide a temporal dynamic analysis transitions the regions in Turkey from one state innovative performance another by using successive Markov Chains. Regarding intellectual assets, consisting patent, utility model, trademark and design applications, Chains have revealed that there are regional disparities (between i. located east west country, ii. metropolitan non-metropolitan regions, iii. high-developed relatively less-developed regions). Results show higher performances. Innovation leaders which take place all indicators time periods terms applications Adana, Ankara, Bursa, Eskişehir, İstanbul, İzmir, Kayseri, Kocaeli, Konya Manisa regions. It explicitly distinct İstanbul leads innovation performances for each variable periods. In contrast, with lowest Ağrı, Artvin, Bingöl, Bitlis, Erzincan, Hakkari, Kars, Muş, Siirt, Tunceli, Bayburt, Bartın, Ardahan, Iğdır Kilis. addition having performances, these identified policies as ‘priority development’ or ‘state emergency regions’.
