Book Synopsis Human Capital Accumulation and Public Sector Growth by : Mr.Vito Tanzi
Download or read book Human Capital Accumulation and Public Sector Growth written by Mr.Vito Tanzi and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1995-09-01 with total page 14 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The present paper takes a fresh theoretical and empirical look into the relationship between Wagner’s law and economic development. It introduces human capital into a classic two-sector model of unbalanced growth. It shows that, as an economy develops, changes in the relative returns to human capital and unskilled labor, as a result of changes to their relative scarcities, could have a significant impact on the size of the government sector, depending in part also on the difference in relative factor intensities between outputs of the private and government sectors. This conjecture is broadly supported by empirical evidence based on a cross-section analysis of a large sample of developed and developing countries.

This book was released on 2024-08-06 with total page 301 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The role of public sector activity in capital accumulation and fraction synthesis assists with economic development, public policy, and sustainable growth. By strategically investing in areas like infrastructure, education, healthcare, and public transit, governments aim to facilitate human capital and increase business profits. As more governments and companies aim for improved economic activity, improved research is required to explore the pivotal role of cohesive frameworks for capital accumulation, while understanding the various fractions of capital. Public Sector Activity in Capital Accumulation and Synthesis of Capital Fractions explores the complexities surrounding privatization, offering a critical and historically informed perspective that challenges the limited view presented by mainstream economics. This book covers topics such as accumulation theories, capitalism, and public property, and is a useful resource for economists, academicians, researchers, scientists, business owners, and historians.

Book Synopsis Women, Men, and Human Capital Development in the Public Sector by : Bonnie G. Mani
Download or read book Women, Men, and Human Capital Development in the Public Sector written by Bonnie G. Mani and published by Rowman & Littlefield. This book was released on 2009 with total page 67 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Women, Men, and Human Capital Development in the Public Sector: Return on Investments analyzes the gap in wages paid to women and men who work for federal, state, and local governments; factors that contribute to disparities in pay; and organizational strategies for narrowing the gap. The gender gap in wages and status is closing. Changes in public policies and social and organizational changes have facilitated the development of human capital. However, many systemic, sociopsychological, and social barriers still limit women's career advancement in the public sector. American women earn approximately eighty cents for every dollar earned by men. Women hold less than 30 percent of executive positions in the private sector as well as federal, state, and local governments. This study analyzes factors, both legal and illegal, that lead to inequities in the pay and status of men and women. In recent turbulent economic times many organizations have eliminated jobs, facilitated early retirements, and lost employees frustrated by the lack of opportunities for advancement. Proactive organizations prepare for the unexpected by fully developing their human capital. Public policies have been less than effective in closing the wage gap, due in part to American culture and individual women's choices. Women are more likely than men to complete lower levels of education, enter the workforce later in life, and occupy lower-level positions. For these reasons the gender-based wage gap may never close, but, as the author points out, investments in human capital development may facilitate women's career advancement and narrow the gap. The author develops specific strategies for narrowing the wage gap and explores avenues of implementation. Book jacket.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This edited collection explores the links between human capital (both in the form of health and in the form of education), demographic change, and economic growth. Using empirical as well as theoretical perspectives, the authors investigate several important issues in the context of human capital, namely population ageing, inequality, public policy, and long-term economic development. Ultimately, they demonstrate that the accumulation of human capital is of crucial importance to long-run economic growth.
Book Synopsis Human Capital, Trade, and Public Policy in Rapidly Growing Economies by : Michele Boldrin
Download or read book Human Capital, Trade, and Public Policy in Rapidly Growing Economies written by Michele Boldrin and published by Edward Elgar Publishing. This book was released on 2004-01-01 with total page 328 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Human Capital, Trade and Public Policy in Rapidly Growing Economies argues that only two centuries ago, no society had ever enjoyed sustained growth in living standards. The contributors to this book aim to discover why the world today exhibits a predilection for perpetual self-improvement. In particular, the book focuses on the forces underlying long-lasting growth in East Asia's Newly Industrialized Countries (NICs). Drawing from the experiences of Hong Kong, South Korea, Singapore and Taiwan, it questions whether public policy can contribute to removing barriers towards accumulation of wealth, and if so, what development policy should be put in place to remedy the existing distortions or market failure problems.
Book Synopsis Taxation and Endogenous Growth in Open Economies by : Mr.Gian Milesi-Ferretti
Download or read book Taxation and Endogenous Growth in Open Economies written by Mr.Gian Milesi-Ferretti and published by International Monetary Fund. This book was released on 1994-07-01 with total page 37 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This paper examines the effects of taxation of human capital, physical capital and foreign assets in a multi-sector model of endogenous growth. It is shown that in general the growth rate is reduced by taxes on capital and labor (human capital) income. When the government faces no borrowing constraints and is able to commit to a given set of present and future taxes, it is shown that the optimal tax plan involves high taxation of both capital and labor in the short run. This allows the government to accumulate sufficient assets to finance spending without any recourse to distortionary taxation in the long run. When restrictions to government borrowing and lending are imposed, the model implies that human and physical capital should be taxed similarly.
Book Synopsis Education, Human Capital Accumulation, and Economic Growth by : Conrad
Download or read book Education, Human Capital Accumulation, and Economic Growth written by Conrad and published by VDM Publishing. This book was released on 2009-02 with total page 0 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The supply of human capital in production activities is a function of the quality and volume of education services provided at the basic and tertiary levels in the education system. Accordingly, the allocation of resources by government to education is an important determinant of human capital formation. Moreover, depending on its level-specific variations, a given amount of human capital can have differential impacts across sectors and on economic growth. Noting that the accumulation of human capital may be of greater importance than the accumulation of physical capital, this study posits that government spending on education can be identified as an important indicator of human capital formation that in turn propels economic growth. This study examines the level-specific impact of human capital on economic growth in four Caribbean countries using the Lucas (1988) model for its theoretical underpinnings. It was found that human capital at the tertiary level in countries with lower performance indicators had a negative impact on economic growth whereas human capital at the basic level in countries with lower performance indicators had a positive impact on economic growth.
Book Synopsis Human Capital Creation in an Economic Perspective by : Rita Asplund
Download or read book Human Capital Creation in an Economic Perspective written by Rita Asplund and published by Springer Science & Business Media. This book was released on 2013-11-22 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The past few decades have seen a revolutionary increase in interest in the economic role of education and training at the societal, business, and individual levels. This is mainly due to the strong post-war growth in industrialized economies, which has been driven by rapid technological progress and far-reaching structural change and, in the end, has resulted in increasingly skill-intensive production and growing demandfor more educated labour. Today it is frequently argued that with the increasing importance of the role of know-how, the workforce has become the most important single input in the production process. Simultaneously the dramatic increase in the availability of large micro-Ievel databases has opened enormous possibilities to study the economic role of human capital creation also empirically. The economic perspective of human capital accumulation is, however, of utmost importance also in times of deep economic recession. Periods of economic slowdown and rapidly increasing unemployment tend to in crease the demandfor advanced education and training in particular. This brings up, in turn, questions regarding overeducation and satisfying both private and social retums on investments in human capital.
Book Synopsis Fostering Human Capital in the Gulf Cooperation Council Countries by : Sameh El-Saharty
Download or read book Fostering Human Capital in the Gulf Cooperation Council Countries written by Sameh El-Saharty and published by World Bank Publications. This book was released on 2020-07-08 with total page 127 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The formation of human capital--the knowledge, skills, and health that people accumulate over their lifetimes--is critical for the six Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) countries. Human capital contributes not only to human development and employment but also to the long-term sustainability of a diversified economic growth model that is knowledge based and private sector driven. This approach is critical, given that income from oil and gas will eventually decline and that the nature of work is evolving in response to rapid technological changes, in turn demanding new skill sets. The GCC governments have demonstrated their strong political will for this shift: four of them are among the first countries to join the World Bank’s Human Capital Project—a global effort to improve investments in people as measured by the Human Capital Index. The GCC countries face four main challenges: • Low levels of basic proficiency among schoolchildren • A mismatch between education and the labor market • A relatively high rate of adult mortality and morbidity • A unique labor market , in which wages in the public sector are more generous than in the private sector and government employment of nationals is virtually guaranteed To address these challenges, this report outlines four strategies in a“whole-of-government†? approach: • Investing in high-quality early childhood development • Preparing healthier, better educated, and skilled youth for the future • Enabling greater adult labor force participation • Creating an enabling environment for human capital formation These strategies are based on best practices in other countries and feature some of the GCC countries’ plans, including their national “Visions,†? to take their economies and societies further into the twenty-first century. With the COVID-19 pandemic, the GCC countries face additional challenges that may worsen some preexisting vulnerabilities and erode human capital. In response, the GCC governments have taken multiple measures to protect their populations’ health and their economies. Any country’s decision to reopen its economy needs to closely consider public health consequences to avoid a resurgence of infections and any further erosion of its human capital. The COVID-19 crisis underscores that the need to accelerate and improve investment in human capital has never been greater. Once the GCC countries return to a “new normal,†? they will be in a position to achieve diversified and sustainable growth by adopting, and then tailoring, the strategies presented in this report.
Book Synopsis Human Capital and Development by : Ju-Ho Lee

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: During recent decades, Korea has been one of only a handful of countries that have made the successful transformation to become a developed nation by simultaneously achieving persistent economic growth combined with a democratic political system. Experts and political leaders worldwide have attributed this achievement to investments in people or, in other words, the power of education. Whilst numerous books have highlighted the role of industrial policies, technological growth, and international trade in Korea’s development process, this is one of the first to focus on the role of human capital. It shows how the accumulation of human capital aided transformation and helps explain the policies, strategies and challenges that Korea faces now and in the future.

Book Synopsis Diagnosing Human Capital as a Binding Constraint to Growth by : Miguel Angel Santos
Download or read book Diagnosing Human Capital as a Binding Constraint to Growth written by Miguel Angel Santos and published by Cambridge University Press. This book was released on 2021-12-16 with total page 72 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The empirical literature on the contributions of human capital investments to economic growth shows mixed results. While evidence from OECD countries demonstrates that human capital accumulation is associated with growth accelerations, the substantial efforts of developing countries to improve access to and quality of education, as a means for skill accumulation, did not translate into higher income per capita. In this Element, we propose a framework, building on the principles of 'growth diagnostics', to enable practitioners to determine whether human capital investments are a priority for a country's growth strategy. We then discuss and exemplify different tests to diagnose human capital in a place, drawing on the Harvard Growth Lab's experience in different development context, and discuss various policy options to address skill shortages.
