Hanushek, Eric Alan; Ruhose, Jens; Woessmann, Ludger - 2015
Although many U.S. state policies presume that human capital is important for state economic development, there is little research linking better education to state incomes. In a complement to international studies of income differences, we investigate the extent to which quality-adjusted...

Globalization and local profiles of economic growth and industrial change
Dauth, Wolfgang; Südekum, Jens - 2014

Human capital and the economic convergence mechanism : evidence from China
Zhang, Xiaboei; Li, Haizheng; Wang, Xiaojun; Fleisher, … - 2019
We examine the mechanism by which human capital affects economic growth and convergence, using provincial level panel data from China. We specify alternative measures of human capital and apply them to an enhanced growth model which we estimate parametrically, nonparametrically, and with a...

Does birthplace diversity affect economic complexity? : cross-country evidence
Bahar, Dany; Rapoport, Hillel; Turati, Riccardo - 2020
We empirically investigate the relationship between a country's economic complexity and the diversity in the … birthplaces of its immigrants. Our cross-country analysis suggests that countries with higher birthplace diversity by one standard … deviation are more economically complex by 0.1 to 0.18 standard deviations above the mean. This holds particularly for diversity …
