Book Description
The paper is concerned with the relationships between capital structure and technological progress. The process of education is viewed as an act of investment in people, and educated people are seen as bearers of human capital. According to the models presented, the rate of return to education is greater the more technologically progressive is the economy. This suggests that the progressiveness of the technology has implications for the optimal capital structure in the broad sense. It is concluded that society should build more human capital relative to tangible capital the more dynamic is the technology.

Finance, Research, Education and Growth
Author: L. Paganetto
Publisher: Springer
ISBN: 1403920230
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 215
Book Description
A crucial issue in the era of globalisation and internationalization, is whether the relationship between investment and finance is beneficial to growth and development. Received wisdom is that Research and Development is essential not only for maintaining productivity, but also for competing in the marketplace. Similar questions have been raised about education and its rate of 'social return; is education necessary for improving the skill of the workforce, or does it serve primarily to facilitate the adoption of these new technologies? This book brings together a case of leading international scholars to analyze the importance of education, research and human capital and the impact of financial systems on growth and development.

Technology Diffusion, Productivity Employment, and Phase Shifts in Developing Economies
Author: Kazushi Ōkawa
Publisher:
ISBN:
Category : Business & Economics
Languages : en
Pages : 314
Book Description
The authors view economic development as an extended process, and their model is formulated in terms of a dualistic structure, which they see as characterizing developing economies: the traditional coexisting with the modern. Their analysis attempts to quantify this structure, and to examine how changes in the balance between tradition and modernity affect technological diffusion, factor prices, the labor market, and the sequence of events in economic growth.
