Development and economic growth take place through the more efficient allocation of inputs into more productive uses. Human capital is a key input since it is the main asset of the majority of the population, especially of the poor, in developing countries. What factors attribute to existing barriers to physical and social mobility of human capital in developing countries? How has expanded global trade affected the allocation and accumulation of skill in developing economies? In three chapters, I study the education and internal migration in China and India, and provide answer to these questions.

Differences in human capital explain approximately one-half of the productivity variation across countries. Therefore, we need to understand drivers of human capital accumulation in order to design successful development policies. My dissertation studies formation and use of human capital with emphasis on its less tangible forms, including skills, abilities and know-how. The first chapter of my dissertation explores the effects of occupational and educational barriers on human capital stock and aggregate productivity. I find that students' academic skills have very small impact on occupational choice in most developing countries. This finding suggests a higher incidence of occupational barriers in developing countries. I evaluate the productivity losses resulting from occupational barriers by calibrating a general equilibrium model of occupational choice. According to my estimation, developing countries can increase their GDP by up to twenty percent by reducing the barriers to the level of a benchmark country (US). In the second chapter of my dissertation, I study the effects of economic growth on education quality. Several models of human capital accumulation predict that incomes have a positive causal effect on human capital for given levels of education by increasing the consumption of educational goods. The paper tests this prediction by using a within country variation in incomes per-capita across different cohorts of US immigrants. Wages of US migrants conditional on years of education serve as a measure of education quality. I find that average domestic incomes experienced by migrants in age from zero to twenty years have a significant positive effect on their future earnings in the US. The third chapter studies the effects of employee-driven technology spillovers on technology adoption. It challenges the theoretical result of Franco and Filson (2006) by assuming that workers are risk averse and that the number of competitors is finite. In this more realistic scenario spillovers significantly reduce payoffs from adopting advanced technologies.

While health and education, jointly referred to as human capital, are important ends in themselves, they are also important drivers of poverty alleviation and economic growth. Understanding and overcoming the barriers that constrain human capital accumulation is hence crucial for economic development. This dissertation examines three barriers to human capital accumulation in three essays. Essay one studies whether providing school-based management committees with a grant and training can improve primary educational attainment in Sokoto, Nigeria. We thereby contribute evidence from an unders...

This thesis empirically examines the roles of innovation and human capital inimproving economic growth for a large number of developed and developing countries. Itcontains three essays. The first essay investigates the effects of R&D intensity andtechnology transfer on total factor productivity growth. It also examines whetherproductivity growth depends on human capital and its interaction with distance to thetechnological frontier. Using several indicators of innovative activity and product variety,the results suggest that R&D intensity has a significant direct and positive effect onproductivity growth only in high income OECD countries, whereas the same effect forR&D-based absorptive capacity is only found in developing countries. Moreover, humancapital-based absorptive capacity is found to be weakly significant in developing countries.Autonomous technology transfer is found to have a significant effect in stimulatingproductivity growth in both groups of countries.The second essay studies whether the contribution of human capital to productivitygrowth depends on its composition and proximity to the technology frontier. Usingdifferent levels of human capital data from several sources, the results indicate that thegrowth-enhancing effects of skilled human capital increase with proximity to thetechnology frontier only in high and medium income countries. Unskilled human capitalcontributes more to growth in low income countries, as they move closer to the technologyfrontier. Female workers with secondary education generate more productivity growth thanmale workers in low income countries, whereas male workers with tertiary educationcontribute more to productivity growth than female workers in high and medium incomecountries. Mature workers with tertiary education are more growth-enhancing for high andmedium income countries, whereas younger workers with secondary education are moregrowth improving for low income countries.The third and final essay examines the joint effects of both the quantity and qualityof human capital in improving productivity growth. Using different measures of humancapital quantity and quality, the results suggest that the growth effects of educationalattainment can be significantly enhanced when the quality of schooling is improved. Themagnitude of the joint effect of quantity and quality is found to be dominated bysmall class size and the performance in cognitive skills tests in science and mathematics.The contribution of the quality-adjusted human capital is found to be stronger indeveloping countries. Human capital is growth enhancing, but to gain a deeper insight oneneeds to examine its composition and distinguish between quality and quantity.
