The Interaction of Human and Physical Capital Accumulation: Evidence from Sub‐Saharan Africa*
估计了撒哈拉以南非洲人力资本与物质资本演化的联立模型，发现两者相互促进，且热带气候和种族多样性对资本积累无负面影响。
Summary In this paper, a simultaneous model of the evolution of human and physical capital in Sub‐Saharan Africa is estimated. It can be shown that the two types of capital are jointly endogenous, in that increases in human capital significantly raise the per‐worker physical capital stock, and increases in the physical capital significantly raise primary education levels. Unlike the implications of other recent papers, there is no evidence that tropical climates and ethnic diversity have a negative effect on the accumulation of capital in the region.
