Abstract

The present paper tries to investigate the impact of education funding over the economic growth in Romania during the interval of time 1991-2009. It also attempts to answer the following question: does investment in education help the economic growth in Romania? If the answer is positive, then, how important are the allocations of investments in education matter? For a complete analysis, we have applied the regression method, and the statistical data have been provided by the National Institute of Statistics and the Romanian Ministry of Education.
