Abstract
The aim of the study is to explore whether logistics performance affects firms’ innovation decisions. Using Turkey RegionalEnterprise Survey conducted between August 2015 and June 2016 we measure logistics performance by transportation costs.We consider several aspects of innovation including process innovation product innovation organizational innovation andinvestments in Research & Development. We also analyze whether the impact of transportation costs on innovation activitiesvaries across industries or regions. Our findings indicate that the impact of transportation costs on R&D activities is highest forfirms in the construction sector whereas for innovation outputs the impact is greatest for the wholesale & retail sector.Moreover our results also reveal three regions where transportation costs matter the most for innovation are Ankara BursaBilecik-Eskisehir and finally Diyarbakir-Sanliurfa.
