Increases in human capital and growth: new data, more conclusive results

Author

  • Theodore Breton

Abstract

Using a new data set for human capital/adult, I show that changes in human capital cause economic growth in 56 countries over the 1985 to 2005 period. I show that these results are superior to results using average schooling attainment.
