The Democratic Factor in the Education‐Growth Relationship
研究发现民主环境有助于教育促进经济增长，即使民主本身可能没有直接作用，这解释了为何跨国数据中教育对增长的影响不一致。
Summary While the incidence of education on the determination of personal income has been well documented by scholars, the same is not true when it comes to the effects of education on economic growth, where different data sets and models have yielded contradictory results. This paper shows that a democratic environment is favourable to the impact of education on economic growth, even if democracy itself may not have a direct effect. This can be at least part of the explanation for why education alone, when observed in a cross section of countries, has shown mixed effects on growth.
