摘要

此前有研究表明,以正态分布的第95百分位智商(IQ)为代表的智力阶层对经济增长的影响最大。与此同时,具有中等能力的人(智商第50百分位)表现出第二强烈的影响,其次是非智力阶层(智商第5百分位)。此外,研究人员还发现,只有知识分子阶层对技术进步有重要影响。因此,本文通过稳健回归重新分析了先前研究中使用的数据集。结果表明,在剔除几个异常值后,智力阶层和平均能力群体的智商水平对经济增长的影响是相等的,且其影响大于非智力阶层。此外,平均能力组的智商对技术成就有显著影响,尽管不如智力阶层那么强。此外,在研发(R&D)部门雇用的专业研究人员的数量并没有反映出与平均能力智商在产生技术发展方面的影响相似的最重要影响。因此,基于得出的结论,本研究建议研发部门不仅应该雇用具有高学历的专业人员,还应该雇用具有特殊水平的认知技能的专业人员,特别是要激发新的创新。耶利记:j24, o31, o47, z13

Social Classes of Intelligence, Economic Growth and Technological Achievement: Robust Regression and Outlier Detection
A previous study has shown that the intellectual class, which is represented by the 95th percentile intelligence quotient (IQ) at a normal distribution, displayed the strongest impact upon economic growth. Meanwhile, those with average ability (50th percentile IQ) exhibited the second strongest impact, and followed by the non-intellectual class (5th percentile IQ). In addition, the researchers discovered that only the intellectual class was significant for technological progress. As such, this article re-analysed the dataset employed in prior study via robust regression. As a result, after eliminating several outliers, the levels of IQ for the intellectual class and the average ability group displayed equal impacts on economic growth, and the impacts were larger than that of non-intellectual. Furthermore, the IQ of the average ability group was significant for technological achievement, although not as strong as the intellectual class. Besides, the number of professional researchers employed in the research and development (R&D) sector did not reflect similar paramount effects as the impact of the average ability IQ in generating technological development. Thus, based on the conclusions drawn, this study suggests that the R&D sector should employ professionals who possess not only high academic qualifications, but also exceptional levels of cognitive skills, especially to spark new innovations.

期刊介绍: The explosion of information and research that has taken place in recent years has had a profound effect upon a variety of existing academic disciplines giving rise to the dissolution of barriers between some, mergers between others, and the creation of entirely new fields of enquiry.
