Abstract
Disparities between growth rates of different countries are only in part explainable by basic factors of production. New growth theory links economic growth, e.g., to increasing returns to scale, to human capital development and stresses the important role of institutions. Our aim is to determine the growth factors for Korea by a time-series analysis applying cointegration and error-correction techniques. The results show that human capital, investment and exports enhance economic development, while inflation and government consumption exert a negative influence on growth. Additionally, the import substitution phases during the 50ies and 70ies as well as a productivity oriented wage development contribute to economic growth. [F14, 047]

A Contribution to the Theory of Economic Growth

The mechanics of economic development

Abstract: This paper considers the prospects for constructing a neoclassical theory of growth and international trade that is consistent with some of the main features of economic development. Three models are considered and compared to evidence: a model emphasizing physical capital accumulation and technological change, a model emphasizing human capital accumulation through schooling, and a model emphasizing specialized human capital accumulation through learning-by-doing.
