本文对人力资本构成与经济增长之间的关系进行了理论和实证研究。在理论分析中，我们考虑到技术活动中规模报酬的非恒定性。与以前的文献不同，我们的结果表明，在广泛且合理的模型参数化下，对于足够贫穷的国家，技术工人的边际增长效应随着距前沿的距离而增加，而仅对于接近技术前沿的国家来说，其边际增长效应正在下降（与现有文献一致）。我们的实证分析通过使用 1960 年至 2000 年间 85 个国家的 10 年小组，以及使用系统广义矩量法 (GMM) 技术来解决内生性问题，为这一理论预测提供了强有力的证据。结果对于不同的人力资本代理和不同的规格是稳健的。
This paper presents a theoretical and empirical investigation of the relationship between human capital composition and economic growth. In the theoretical analysis, we allow for nonconstant returns to scale in technological activities. Differently from previous literature, our results show that, under broad and plausible model parameterizations, the marginal growth effect of skilled workers is increasing with the distance to the frontier for sufficiently poor countries while it is decreasing (in agreement with the existing literature) only for countries close to the technological frontier. Our empirical analysis provides robust evidence for this theoretical prediction by using a 10-year panel of 85 countries for the years in between 1960 and 2000, as well as by using the System Generalized Methods of Moments (GMM) technique to address the problem of endogeneity. Results are robust to different proxies of human capital and different specifications.
