題名: | The Role of Human Capital in Economic Development:Evidence from Taiwan | 作者: | 莊奕琦 Chuang, Yih-chyi |

Significant knowledge spillover effects were found within Taiwan`s manufacturing sector. For aggregate manufacturing, a roughly 29% of total rate of return to education gives a private return of 7% while the external knowledge spillover effect is 22%. For the two-digit industries, the inter-industry effect of education measures two to three times its intra-industry effect. Contrary to the Lau-Young proposition, we find that technology change in terms of knowledge spillover contributes 39% to the output growth of Taiwan`s aggregate manufacturing and from 12 to 42% to that of the two-digit industries. Our results also suggest that, in the presence of externalities, growth accounting based on macro data may be misleading in interpreting the sources of growth. | 關聯: | Asian Economic Journal, 13(2), 117-144. | 資料類型: | article | DOI: | http://dx.doi.org/10.1111/1467-8381.00078 |
