Human Capital, Economic Growth and Environmental Quality with Special Emphasis on Public Education Expenditures: An Application of DSGE Models by Yahya Mohaghegh, hashem zare, Mehrzad Ebrahimi

“…Theoretical studies emphasize different mechanisms through which education affects economic growth. (1) Education increases the human capital of the labor force, thereby increasing labor productivity and shifting growth toward a higher equilibrium level of output. (2) In endogenous growth theories, education increases the economy's capacity to innovate new technologies, products, and processes, thereby promoting growth. In the environmental field, improving human capital can reduce the use of fossil fuel in the production process. …”
