description

The estimation of the relationship between education and economic growth is marked by contradictions. These con­tradictions underline the lack of precision characterising indicators of human capital. This paper constructs new indi­cators based on a pool of international surveys concerning pupil assessment. Thus, our new database, which includes 105 countries, makes it possible to confirm or not the pos­itive relationship between education and growth. Taking into account the endogeneity of education, we measure a positive effect of qualitative indicators of human capital and the growth of countries between 1960 and 2000. The contri­bution of education to growth therefore appears significant, both from a quantitative and a qualitative point of view.
