| Summary: | With the development of new (endogenaus) growth theories, it is observed that the major role in these theories
had been given to human capital. Although offical or non-offical education indicators are the main indicators
which represent human capital, the indicators about the health level of a society also appear in growth models as
an element which feeds human capital and contributes its development. The literature which discuss the relation
between economic growth and human capital could not come to a consensus about the relation between the
variables which represent human capital and economic growth indicators. There are studies, in the literature,
which support one-way or mutual causality relations regarding the direction of the causality. Hence, it is
necessary to conduct predictions by using larger data sets and new econometric models. This study predicts the
relationship between human capital and economic growth by using Emirmahmutoglu and Kose (2011) approach,
which is one of the new generation panel causality tests, for the four different country groups by income levels
which is classified by the World Bank for the period of 1995-2014. We used personal healthcare expenditures,
total healthcare expenditures, private healthcare expenditures and public healthcare expenditures as human
capital indicators, and personal income as economic growth indicator. The results obtained, according to the
country groups, point to two-way causality relation between variables. |
