Factor Inputs

Economic growth depends on factor inputs, and health human capital investment is a very important factor input. We set up a three-period overlapping generation model of personal health investment and government public health investment in the formation of physical capital and human capital and its impact on economic growth. Our findings show that health human capital investment can increase economic growth. We also conducted empirical research on the relationship between health human capital investment and economic growth by using China’s provincial panel data from 1999 to 2016. The robustness test of endogenous and interactive term regression confirms our results. We found that individual health investment has the greatest impact on economic growth. Therefore, China's health strategy is consistent with the policy of economic growth. China should further expand health investment and optimize the structure of health investment to promote its economic growth.

Long Run

Abstract Using a growth model with physical capital accumulation, human capital investment and horizontal R&D activity, this paper proposes an alternative channel through which an increase in the population growth rate may yield a non-uniform (i.e., a positive, negative, or neutral) impact on the long-run growth rate of per-capita GDP, as available empirical evidence seems mostly to suggest. The proposed mechanism relies on the nature of the process of economic growth (whether it is fully or semi-endogenous), and the peculiar engine(s) driving economic growth (human capital investment, R&D activity, or both). The model also explains why in the long term the association between population growth and productivity growth may ultimately be negative when R&D is an engine of economic growth.

The Relationship

In recent years, it is very important for China to maintain the strong and sustainable economic growth, and we believe enhancing human capital investment is the key. According to the statistics, China's current human capital investment has fallen into the low-level trap, which means that the economic growth heavily depends on labor-intensive and resource-driven investment, and the relationship between human and physical capital investment becomes imbalanced. In addition, the coexistence of human capital shortage and employment pressure, the mismatch between human capital investment structure and talent demand, and insufficient human capital investment caused by unfair income distribution are becoming more and more serious. We advise a re-examination of our human capital investment strategy as the main policy to solve the problems.

This research studies the role of human capital investment through the mechanism of improving education and health services in efforts to alleviate poverty and increase economic independence with dignity in the form of improving the performance of Indonesia's human resources which is reflected in Indonesia's economic growth. This study uses secondary data from world banks and processed regression using the moving average autoregression method. We find that investment in education and investment in health is positively related to economic growth. And, poverty is negatively related to economic growth. This indicates that human capital investment in Indonesia is able to promote economic growth and alleviate poverty in Indonesia.

Severity Index

The research objectives are to analyze impact of human capital investment on economic growth and poverty incidence in West Papua. Analysis is using a combination of Computable General Equilibrium (CGE) Model and Foster�Greer-Thorbecke Method. The human capital investment is represented by government expenditure for education and health. The simulation results show that human capital investment is able to increase economic growth and household income. Head count index, poverty gap index and poverty severity index also decrease except for non-labor household group in the urban area. Human capital investment for education gives more benefit to household in rural area than those in urban area, especially for farm-laborer and agriculture entrepreneur household groups in the rural area, while investment for health gives more benefit to non-agricultural high income household group in urban area.
