Abstract Human capital improves the efficiency of GTFP has been established in research fields, but the heterogeneous effects of human capital on GTFP and its sustainable mechanisms are unclear. This study aims to examine the effects of human capital accumulation, education fiscal, and innovation on GTFP efficiency under diversity between spatial and temporal. Employing panel data from 30 provinces from 2001 to 2018 in China, We analyzed the dynamic and static efficiency of GTFP at different regions by three-stage DEA. We explored the heterogeneous effects of human capital on GTFP through Tobit regression. Results show that the average value of GTFP efficiency is inverted U-shape and having a significant geography difference. Then, human capital accumulation and education fiscal have positive effects on the GTFP efficiency; however, innovation negatively affects GTFP efficiency. At the same time, marketization growth decreases human capital and education positive influence on the GTFP efficiency. However, this effect was not seen on the innovation—the implication of these results concerning the human capital heterogeneous effects of GTFP efficiency in a different geography. Establishing a fair and transparent system is an available choice to reduce the endowments gap and effectively promote GTFP efficiency in developing countries.

That human capital improves the efficiency of Green Total Factor Productivity has been established in research fields, but the heterogeneous effects of human capital on GTFP and its sustainable mechanisms are unclear. This study examines the effects of human capital accumulation, fiscal spending on education, and innovation on GTFP efficiency under spatial and temporal diversity. Employing panel data from 30 provinces from 2001 to 2018 in China, we analyzed the dynamic and static efficiency of GTFP in different regions by three-stage data envelopment analysis (DEA). The heterogeneous effects of human capital on GTFP were explored through Tobit regression. Results reveal that the average value of GTFP efficiency is an inverted U-shape and the presence of significant t geography differences. Human capital accumulation and fiscal spending on education have positive effects on GTFP efficiency; however, innovation negatively affects it. At the same time, marketization growth decreases the positive influence of human capital and education on GTFP efficiency. While, this effect was not observed regarding innovation, the implication of these results concerning the human capital heterogeneous effects of GTFP efficiency in a different geographic context. Establishing a fair and transparent system can reduce the endowments gap and effectively promote GTFP efficiency in developing countries.

The Impact

Abstract We analyse the impact of unequal school opportunity on intergenerational income mobility and human capital accumulation. Building upon the classical Becker–Tomes–Solon framework, we use a regime-switch model allowing for differences in income transmission across groups. We find that unequal school opportunity raises average human capital because of assortative matching. However, because income dispersion tends to be higher at the top, in most cases unequal school opportunity decreases intergenerational mobility. Calibrating the model to the USA, simulations suggest that school equalisation and desegregation policies have positive effects on mobility at relatively small efficiency costs.

The aim of this study is to examine the extent to which colleagues’ human capital accumulation (education, work experience and training) had an impact on individuals’ earnings in the service sector in Malaysia. The study employed data from the 2007 Productivity Investment Climate Survey (PICS) and the colleagues’ human capital accumulation was measured using information from both workers and employers survey. Random Effect (RE) was used to estimate the effects of these factors on wages. Findings from the RE showed that only co-workers’ education had a positive and significant impact on individual wages. One year of colleagues’ additional schooling will increase the individuals’ earnings between 2.8 and 4.7 percent a year. Women experience a higher wage premium than that of men (4.7 against 3.5 percent). In addition, educational dispersion between respondents and workplaces also had a significant impact on earnings as it increases workers’ earnings between 2 and 3.7 percent for every additional increase of one standard deviation of the educational dispersion. These positive effects can be interpreted as the existence of positive spillovers or externalities of the education of colleagues at the workplace as it can enhance productivity of other employees in the same organization.

Does resource abundance positively affect human capital accumulation? Or, alternatively, does it «crowd out» the human capital leading to the deterioration of economic growth? The paper gives an overview of the relevant literature and discusses both theoretical and empirical results obtained regarding the connection between human capital accumulation and resource abundance. It shows that despite some theoretical predictions about the harmful effect of resource abundance on human capital accumulation, unambiguous evidence of such impact that would be robust with respect to the change of resource abundance parameter has not been obtained yet.
