Human Capital: Level versus Growth Effects

Edmund Stuart Cannon

Oxford Economic Papers, 2000, vol. 52, issue 4, pages 670-76

Abstract: The endogenous growth literature includes two competing views concerning the influence of human capital on output growth: human capital may be a conventional input and determine just the level of output or it may be essential to raise productivity via R&D. Distinguishing empirically between these two alternatives is important. This paper shows that the suggestion by Aghion and Howitt (1998) for how to distinguish the two approaches will not work.
