许多经济学家发现，各国的经济增长和教育水平高度相关。一个模型中，建立在一个人的长辈的人力资本的能力起着重要的作用，在连接增长的学校教育。该模型进行校准，以量化的力量，教育对增长的影响，通过使用证据从劳动文献明切里亚回报教育。结果是，教育对增长的影响解释了不到三分之一的实证跨国关系。反向因果关系来解释这种经验关系的能力也进行了研究。
A number of economists find that growth and schooling are highly correlated across countries. A model is examined in which the ability to build on the human capital of one's elders plays an important role in linking growth to schooling. The model is calibrated to quantify the strength of the effect of schooling on growth by using evidence from the labor literature on Mincerian returns to education. The upshot is that the impact of schooling on growth explains less than one-third of the empirical cross-country relationship. The ability of reverse causality to explain this empirical relationship is also investigated.
