The Empirics of the Imbalance Effect: Per-Capita Income and Human to Physical Capital Ratio

Posted: 5 Apr 2017

Abstract

One of the important problems in the theory of economic growth is whether the growth of output per capita depends positively or negatively on the ratio of human to physical capital. Following Duczynski (2003), we apply his approaches for the panel data set. However, we have described the human capital not only with education data but also with the health proxy. This paper provides evidence that this dependence tends to be positive.
