“…Constant relationship among productivity, human capital, and interior innovation capabilities indicated the importance of human capital for Portugal's economy. Mgadmi and Rachdi (2014) conducted an empirical finding in Tunisia from 1974 to 2012.

This paper explores the effect of human capital and technology on economic growth in Asian countries while considering economic development. The paper expands the Solow Growth model by further incorporating the import of machinery and equipment reflecting total factor productivity. Panel data for 30 Asian countries has been used over 1995-2015. Due to the endogeneity problem in human capital and other variables, the System Generalized Method of Moment (GMM) is used to address this problem. Empirical results reveal that human capital and technology have increased economic growth in the total sample of Asian countries. Furthermore, the sample has been disaggregated into high-income (HI) and low-income (LI) Asian countries. Our findings determine that human capital and technology are reflecting a positive and statistically significant role in enhancing economic growth in both samples of countries. However, the magnitude of the impact is high in HI Asian countries relative to LI Asian countries, respectively. When the import of machinery and equipment are replaced with patents, a positive and insignificant results are obtained for LI countries because these countries have lacked legal systems, but a positive and statistically significant relationship is observed for HI Asian countries.

Purpose-The aim of this study is to analyse the impact of qualified labour force in information and technology intensive sectors both on inequality and growth at the regional level. Methodology-The impact of employment in the knowledge and technology intensive sectors on regional growth and regional inequality is analysed with fixed effect model. Data range is between 2008 and 2015 at level 1 for Turkey Findings-According to the results of the analysis, technology-oriented human capital is positively influencing growth. In addition, there is a positive correlation between public spending and employment rates and growth. There is no significant relationship between migration, import-export data and growth. In relation to human capital and inequality, human capital increases regional inequalities. But public expenditures reduce regional disparities. On the other hand there is no statistically significant relation between export and import data and regional inequality. Conclusion-The results of the study show that qualified labour force in the information and technology intensive sectors increases both regional growth and regional inequality.
