“…In addition, the literature on the impact of human capital and innovation on economic development and growth in the European regions is also large (e.g., Fagerberg, Verspagen, and Caniels 1997;Rodríguez-Pose and Crescenzi 2008;Sterlacchini 2008;Cuaresma, Doppelhofer, and Feldkircher 2012). For example, Badinger and Tondl (2003) investigate whether human capital and innovation (as measured by patent applications) have a significant impact on the growth rates of Gross Value-Added per capita in 128 regions between 1993 and 2000.…”

“…However, medium levels of education are not significant which highlights that economic growth in Europe's 'knowledge-driven' economies is boosted by the highest form of educational attainment. Moreover, Sterlacchini (2008) finds that human capital (in the form of higher education) and a region's knowledge base have a significant and positive impact on economic growth in twelve EU15 countries between 1995 and 2002. Cuaresma, Doppelhofer, and Feldkircher (2012) use a dataset including 255 EU regions to analyse which of their 48 potential determinants are significantly explaining economic growth between 1995 and 2005.…”

The long-run impact of human capital on innovation and economic development in the regions of Europe

Human capital is supposed to be an important factor for innovation and economic development. However, the long-run impact of human capital on current innovation and economic development is still a black box, in particular at the regional level. Therefore, this paper makes the link between the past and the present. Using a large new dataset on regional human capital and other factors in the 19 th and 20 th century, we find that past regional human capital is a key factor explaining current regional disparities in innovation and economic development.

“…Using a new data set for schooling years, Cohen and Soto (2007) show that in standard growth regressions, their GMM and fixed effects estimates of schooling are positive. Sterlacchini (2008) employs OLS in nonlinear specifications and reports a positive growth effect of the population share with tertiary education. Applying LSDV, FGLS, 2SLS and GMM, Baldacci el al (2008) find that both the level and changes in enrollment rates are positively related to growth.…”

Education and Economic Growth: A Meta-Regression Analysis

2014

View full text Add to dashboard Cite

This paper surveys the literature that examines the effect of education on economic growth.Specifically, we apply meta-regression analysis to 56 studies with 979 estimates and show that there is substantial publication selection bias towards a positive impact of education on growth.Once we account for this, we find evidence of a genuine effect of education on economic growth.The variation in reported estimates can be attributed to differences in the measurement of education and study characteristics, most importantly model specification, estimation methodology, type of data and the research outlet where studies were published, e.g. academic journals vs. working papers.JEL Classification: I25, E24, C01, O50

“…Thus, investment in human capital formation has been one of the key considerations for regional development policy in regions with lagging human capital [22,23]. In contrast, the existing literature concludes that human capital could contribute more to regional economic growth in leading regions [12,24,25]. The different perspectives can be traced back to the additional treatment of regions' capacity to yield higher returns to human capital.…”

The Impact of Education and R&D Investment on Regional Economic Growth

Abstract:The purpose of this paper is to examine the impact of education and R&D investment on regional economic growth in South Korea. We develop a simultaneous model of production, human capital accumulation, migration, population and physical capital investment of two regions: the Seoul Metropolitan Area and the rest of Korea. We decompose the regional growth path into a quality path and a quantity path to identify how regional economies grow and run simulations to evaluate alternative policies in terms of effectiveness and adaptability. The impact of education and R&D investment on regional growth in the rest of Korea is only 22.3% of that in the Seoul Metropolitan Area due to lower elasticity values of young in-migrants with respect to the investment in the rest of Korea. An enhanced efficiency of regional human capital accumulation is effective and adaptable to alleviate regional economic disparity.
