TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the relation between innovation, higher education and economic growth during the 1996-2014 period in the case of developed and developing countries, and found evidence of a positive effect of innovation in tertiary education on economic growth.
Abstract: espanolLa educacion superior esta considerada como un motor de desarrollo y crecimiento en la sociedad del conocimiento, debido a sus beneficios para impulsar la investigacion, el conocimiento y la innovacion tecnologica. Este documento examina la relacion entre la innovacion, la educacion superior y el crecimiento economico durante el periodo 1996-2014 en el caso de los paises desarrollados y en desarrollo. La relacion de cointegracion entre series se examino mediante el uso de la prueba de cointegracion de panel desarrollada por Pedroni (1999, 2004) y Kao (1999). Como resultado del analisis empirico, se determino la relacion de cointegracion entre las series. Los resultados tambien proporcionan evidencia de un efecto positivo de la innovacion en la educacion terciaria sobre el crecimiento economico.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the relationship between economic growth, higher education, unemployment and poverty using properties of time series variables while applying the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method.
Abstract: espanolEste articulo examina la relacion entre el crecimiento economico , la educacion superior , el desempleo y la pobreza utilizando las propiedades de las variables de series de tiempo mientras se aplica el metodo de Minimos Cuadrados Ordinarios. Nuestro estudio contribuye asi a la literatura existente, dando el primer enfoque integrado para examinar los vinculos cuatro vias en el fondo de Tunez durante el periodo 1990-2013. En este trabajo se sostiene que la educacion superior puede afectar el desempleo y el desempleo de los graduados causa la pobreza lo que afectaria el crecimiento economico. Nuestros resultados empiricos muestran que existe una relacion causal bidireccional entre el producto per capita interno bruto ( PIB ) y la tasa de pobreza ( POV ) y tambien entre el numero de estudiantes graduados ( GRA ) y la educacion terciaria matricula escolar ( ENR ) , ademas de una relacion causal unidireccional la cual que va desde Numero de estudiantes graduados de desempleo con educacion terciaria ( UNP ), de los gastos de educacion superior ( CAD ) a la tasa de pobreza y de desempleo con educacion superior a la tasa de pobreza. Nuestros resultados empiricos tambien verificado la existencia del efecto positivo de ENR , GRA y punto de vista sobre el crecimiento economico , mientras que , UNP y EXP tienen influencia determinante negativo sobre el crecimiento economico con la unica GRA estadisticamente significativa. Estos conocimientos empiricos son de particular interes para los responsables de las politicas , ya que ayudan a construir politicas economicas solidas para sostener el desarrollo economico y mejorar la calidad de la educacion superior EnglishThis paper examines the relationship between economic growth, higher education, unemployment and poverty using properties of time series variables while applying the Ordinary Least Squares (OLS) method. Our study thus contributes to the existing literature by giving the first integrated approach to examine the four way linkages in the Tunisian background over the period 1990-2013. This paper holds that higher education can impact unemployment and graduate unemployment causes poverty which would affect economic growth. Our empirical results show that there is bi-directional causal relationship between per capita gross domestic product (GDP) and poverty rate (POV) and also between Number of graduate students (GRA) and School enrollment tertiary education (ENR) besides unidirectional causal relationship which running from Number of graduate students to Unemployment with tertiary education (UNP), from Higher education expenditure (EXP) to poverty rate and from Unemployment with tertiary education to poverty rate. Our empirical results also verified the existence of positive effect of ENR, GRA and POV on economic growth, while, UNP and EXP have negative determining influence on economic growth with only GRA statistically significant. These empirical insights are of particular interest for the policy makers as they help build sound economic policies to sustain economic development and improve the higher educational quality.

TL;DR: In this paper, the authors highlight on various policies announced in the higher education system and compare them with the currently adopted system and propose some suggestions for its effective implementation towards achieving its objectives.
Abstract: Well defined and futuristic education policy is essential for a country at school and college levels due to the reason that education leads to economic and social progress. Different countries adopt different education systems by considering the tradition and culture and adopt different stages during their life cycle at school and college education levels to make it effective. Recently Government of India announced its new Education policy which is based on the recommendations by an expert committee headed by Dr. Kasturirangan, Former chairman of the Indian Space Research Organization (ISRO). This paper highlights on various policies announced in the higher education system and compare them with the currently adopted system. Various innovations and predicted implications of NEP 2020 on the Indian higher education system along with its merits are discussed. Finally, some suggestions are proposed for its effective implementation towards achieving its objectives.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors investigated the effect of explanatory variables of globalization, renewable energy consumption, and agricultural production on the ecological footprint in emerging countries using fixed-effect panel quantile regression of 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th and 90th in the period 2002 to 2016.
Abstract: Nowadays, paying attention to globalization and the consumption of renewable energy on the ecological footprint is one of the most important issues in the world. In the age of globalization, all countries are trying to prevent the spread of ecological degradation by enacting laws and regulations at the national level and regulating international agreements. This study investigates the effect of explanatory variables of globalization, renewable energy consumption, and agricultural production on the ecological footprint in emerging countries using fixed-effect panel quantile regression of 10th, 25th, 50th, 75th, and 90th in the period 2002 to 2016. The results showed that the consumption of renewable energy at all levels except the 25th quantile has a positive and significant effect on the ecological footprint; this effect is more in higher quantiles. Globalization in all quantiles has a negative and significant impact on the ecological footprint and has had the most excellent effect among other explanatory variables. Agricultural production variable at the 25th and 50th quantile levels had the most significant and positive effect on the ecological footprint. Therefore, it can be concluded that the increase in agricultural production, income, renewable energy consumption, population, and trade openness can lead to increased environmental degradation. However, the effects of globalization have had the most negligible negative impact on the ecological footprint.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors used the take-home exam as a formative remote assessment tool as a local case in Turkey, and surveyed the views of 43 undergraduate students about the quality of takehome exams as a remote assessment tools.
Abstract: COVID-19 has changed the way we teach. Today, we have become far more experienced in the delivery of distance education and use of online tools. However, the quality of distance education and learning outcomes have become a matter of ongoing debate. Just as higher education aims to develop high-level skills in its students, researchers are seeking ways to perform valid and reliable assessment in distance education. Institutions and educators are also in search of assessment tools that can help prevent instances of cheating and plagiarism. However, performance-based assessment tools may also offer options to measure both high-level skills and in limiting cheating behaviors. In this study, we used the take-home exam as a formative remote assessment tool as a local case in Turkey. We surveyed the views of 43 undergraduate students about the quality of take-home exams as a remote assessment tool. The results showed that participants had a high quality perception about the use of take-home exam, especially with regards to being kept informed about evaluation and scoring, rapid assessment, the provision of feedback, and consistency of scope between assessment and course content. Whereas students highly perceived the use of take-home exams, they reported more moderate views regarding take-home exams increasing the level of interaction with their peers. The results of this study suggest that the use of take-home exams is significantly preferred by higher education students, that it is a reliable and distinctive way to measure students' academic performance, and may increase student-teacher interaction through its formative use.
