“…Since a decline in crime can make previously dangerous districts attractive again, the city's housing supply can be expanded and housing shortages in other areas can be alleviated. The city can also benefit from a better quality of life [38], which in turn fosters the city's (economic) growth [4,39].…”

In this paper, we investigate the protective effect of smart street lighting on public safety. Smart lights have a variety of features, such as video surveillance or gunshot detection. Some of these features can have a deterrent effect on crime. Other features, however, such as adaptive brightness control, may also encourage crime. Using a comprehensive dataset on the crimes committed in downtown San Diego (CA) during 1st May 2017 and 30th April 2018, we investigate the crime rates a priori and posterior to the installation of smart lights in this area. The results of the empirical analysis suggest that smart lights have a statistically significant negative impact on crime and that their installation increases the safety of citizens.

“…The ROK has limited human capital in-migrants unlike cases such as among U.S. states where the flows of human capital are much more frequent. Though this study does not directly control varying quality of life among study areas, findings from Fan et al [48] provide supplementary policy implications. Limited impact on regional growth through the quantity path, especially in the ROK, can be reinforced when combined with supplementary policies to enhance quality of life in the lagging region.…”

“…However, interactive impact of quality of life and human capital on regional growth has been rarely investigated. Fan et al [48] found reinforcing impact of these two factors for wage growth among US counties between 2000 and 2007. Both quality of life and human capital significantly stimulated economic growth and more importantly, the impact of human capital on regional growth was larger in counties with higher quality of life by attracting and retaining human capital into the counties.…”

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.

“…In general, the people with higher education are more likely to invent new technology comparing with the people without it. Perhaps we can change an expressive way: There are many theories concerned with the economic growth, in here, the number of graduates stands for the human capital, and the number of patents signifies the technologic innovation [8,10]. Therefore, they represent different aspects and do not conflict with each other.…”

Abstract. Historically, economists had already emphasized the importance of human capital to the development of a country. Under the contemporary knowledge-based socio-economic background in China, education, as an essential and fundamental element in human capital development, is reasonable to be connected with economic growth. To testify this argument and figure out the inner relationship, I built a linear regression model by using China's provincial data in the past twenty years and the result generated by Eviews has confirmed a convictive positive correlation between education and economic growth in China. This research as well attests the significance of China's strategy "develop the country through science and education". Additionally, the result of this research that education takes positive effect on national development is similar with the achievement of numerous previous international published researches. Therefore, the improvement of education system is a significant step to realize our country's great renaissance.
