Abstract (2. Language): 
This paper explores a series of unit root, cointegration and causality test to identify the impact of different educational levels on economic growth in Turkey for the period 1955 to 2002. Further, the educational variables are broken down by gender to see separately the effect of female and male educations at each category on economic growth. Results reveal that education has a significant and negative effect on Turkish’s economic growth in primary and university education level and positive effect on high school education both for women and men. In addition it is found that the effect of women’s educational attainment at all levels has a higher impact on economic growth than men’s educational attainment at same levels.

Abstract (Original Language): 
Bu çalışma, 1955-2002 yılları arasındaki dönemde farklı eğitim seviyelerinin Türkiye’nin ekonomik büyümesi üzerindeki etkisini belirlemek için birim kök, eşbütünleşme ve nedensellik testlerini incelemektedir. Ayrıca erkek ve kadın eğitimlerinin her katogori için ekonomik büyüme üzerindeki etkilerinin ayrı ayrı görülebilmesi için eğitimle ilgili veriler cinsiyete göre ayrılmıştır. Sonuçlar, hem erkek hem de kadınlar için, ilköğretim ve üniversite eğitimi seviyesinde eğitimin ekonomik büyüme üzerinde anlamlı ve negatif yönlü etkisi olduğunu; orta öğretim seviyesinde pozitif yönlü etkisi olduğunu göstermektedir. İlaveten, kadınların tüm seviyelerde eğitime erişiminin ekonomik büyüme üzerinde erkeklerinin aynı seviyelerde eğitime erişiminden daha yüksek etkisinin olduğu bulunmuştur.
