The aim of this thesis is to analyze the growth performances of regions in
Turkey and the role of human capital in this process within the framework of
new growth theory. For this aim, it firstly attempts to investigate the evolution
of regional income growth differences in Turkey in the period 1980-2000 and
the tendency of provinces in Turkey towards income growth convergence.
Secondly, by taking a detailed account of human capital, it aims to explore the
contribution of human capital differences towards explaining income growth
disparities among Turkey&rsquo / s provinces. In this framework, human capital is
defined in terms of education, entrepreneurship and innovation.
