MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: This paper explores the impact of education quality on economic growth in 37 OECD countries. We developed a new dataset that combines mixed-frequency data, including low-frequency data (every three years) from the Programme for International Student Assessment (PISA) and annual data from the World Development Indicators (WDI), covering the period from 2000 to 2018. Our study investigates the relationship between education quality and economic growth. We found that a 1% increase in educational quality contributes to an annual economic growth rate of 2.8%. This result is significantly higher than previous research, which, based on cross-sectional PISA data, reported growth rates ranging from 0.4% to 2.3%.
