摘要

我们使用具有现实人口统计学的定量宏观经济模型，研究了收入和贫困对新工人群体人力资本投资增加的动态反应。更高的投资会带来显著的改进，尽管逐步引入需要相当长的时间。贫困国家的收益最大。我们认为，在我们的模型背景下，作为实现特定收入或贫困目标的一种手段，投资于人比投资于实物资本更具成本效益。我们还研究了高人力资本对生育率的影响以及低生育率对收入的后续影响。

The Effect of Increasing Human Capital Investment on Economic Growth and Poverty: A Simulation Exercise

We examine the dynamic responses of income and poverty to increased investment in the human capital of new cohorts of workers, using a quantitative macroeconomic model with realistic demography. Higher investment leads to significant improvements, although phase-in takes considerable time. Gains are largest in poor countries. We argue in the context of our model that investing in people is more cost effective than investing in physical capital as a means to achieve specified income or poverty goals. We also study the effect of higher human capital on fertility and the follow-on effects of lower fertility on income.

期刊介绍： Journal of Human Capital is dedicated to human capital and its expanding economic and social roles in the knowledge economy. Developed in response to the central role human capital plays in determining the production, allocation, and distribution of economic resources and in supporting long-term economic growth, JHC is a forum for theoretical and empirical work on human capital—broadly defined to include education, health, entrepreneurship, and intellectual and social capital—and related public policy analyses. JHC encompasses microeconomic, macroeconomic, and international economic perspectives on the theme of human capital. The journal offers a platform for discussion of topics ranging from education, labor, health, and family economics.
