ÖZ: Son yıllarda, dünya çapında çeşitli eğitim merkezlerine uluslararası öğrenci akını oldu. Öğrencilerin tercih ettikleri destinasyonlarda yoğunlaşması, bu tür kasaba ve ekonomilerde sağlanan mal ve hizmetlerin pazar payını artırmıştır. Bu tez, adanın üniversitelerinde öğrenim gören uluslararası öğrenciler ile ekonomik büyüme arasındaki ilişkiyi 1977-2020 yılları arası kuzey kıbrıs ekonomisi için ampirik olarak incelemektedir. Uluslararası öğrencilerin ekonomik büyüme sürecini etkileyip etkilemediğine genişletilmiş Cobb Douglas modeli çercevesinde inceler. Olağan En Küçük Kare (OLS) tekniği, modelin geçerliliğini ve Kıbrıs Türk ekonomisi üzerinde etkisi olabilecek sermaye yatırımı ve işgücü gibi farklı değişkenlerin göreli önemini test etmek için uygulanmaktadır. Tahmin edilen ampirik sonuçlara dayanarak, açıklayıcı güç, uluslararası öğrencilerin hem uzun hem de kısa vadede yerel ekonominin iyi bir destekleyicisi olabileceği görüşünü yönündedir. Ek olarak, uzun vadede uluslararası öğrencilerden ekonomik büyümeye doğru tek yönlü bir akış vardır.
