Estimating the Permanent Growth Effects of Human Capital

B. Rao and Sriram Shankar

MPRA Paper from University Library of Munich, Germany

Abstract: This paper estimates with the least trimmed least squares (LTS) a specification suitable to estimate the permanent growth effects of human capital, using educational attainment (H) as a proxy. Our results show that H has significant permanent growth effects but these are much smaller than in Temple (1999).
