Özet

The relationship between economic development (GDP) and the number of graduate students from highschool-university have been analyzed by using Sims, modified Sims, Toda-Yamamoto causality, variance decomposition analyses and impulse-response functions from 1950 to 2012 period in Turkey. Alternative causality tests show that there is a positive uni-directional causalit running from the GDP to the number of graduated university students and from the graduated regular and vocational high schools students to the GDP.
