Using the Panel Data Analysis method in the study by utilizing the Pedroni and Kao panel cointegration, Dumitrescu-Hurlin causality methods tests. In this paper it was examined the data of 2000-2015 period for Emerging economies, As a result of the analyzes, it has been observed that R & D expenditures, exported information and communication technology goods and the number of patents have a long-term cointegration relationship with economic growth and these variables have a positive effect on economic growth.
