Abstract

An important problem 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. This paper provides evidence that this dependence tends to be positive.

Key words: asymmetric imblance effect; economic growth; human capital; physical capital
JEL classification: O4
