Both endogenous growth theory and the (augmented) Solow model propose a role for
human capital in the growth process though each is based on different conceptual …

Various hypotheses have been put forward in recent years concerning the contribution of

This paper presents empirical estimates of human-capital augmented growth equations for a
panel of 21 OECD countries over the period 1971-98. It uses an improved dataset on human …

The endogenous growth model developed by Romer (1986) and Lucas (1988) has focused
on the role of human capital from the outset as a main source of increasing returns and …

Recent theoretical literature on the sources of economic growth has emphasized the role of
human capital as an internal contributing force in the growth process. Empirical results …

Human capital in the form of education has been used to explain GDP growth in augmented
Solow models. A statistically significant coefficient for human capital variable in these …

Conclusion Recent empirical research on the empirics of growth has demonstrated that an
augmented Solow model provides a fairly good description of cross-country data on output …

Abstract We reassess Mankiw, Romer and Weil's [MRW] version of the Solow model using,
as did MRW, cross-sectional data to estimate the steady-state equation governing income …

In the extended Solow growth model of Mankiw et al., human capital has only permanent
level and no growth effects. In the endogenous growth models human capital is a growth …

In the theory of economic development it has long been recognized that investment in
human capital through education and training tends to promote economic growth. There is …
