It is a quick reading of the Kingdom’s situation as it appeared in the reports of those indicators. The indicators that have been selected, are characterized by diversity of their subjects and aspects that have been touched upon. Some of the indicators, such as the global competitiveness index ,are comprehensive and covered most of the areas related to the competitiveness of countries. Others are characterized by specialization in evaluating a specific area of the economy like Doing Business Indicator. The importance of these indicators stems from the fact that they identify the deficiencies and weaknesses that limit the capabilities of countries to improve their performance, as well as the strengths and advantages they enjoy. Moreover, these indicators give the opportunity for many countries to learn and benefit from their experiences towards achieving their targets. The report has been prepared to facilitate the decision-making process and to encourage those interested in the Kingdom to begin discussing and evaluating such indicators and using them to achieve national strategies.

  • Human Capital in PWT 9.0 Following a Common Approach in the Literature (E.G
    Human capital in PWT 9.0 Following a common approach in the literature (e.g. Caselli, 2005), PWT version 8 introduced a human capital index based on the average years of schooling from Barro and Lee (BL, 2013) and an assumed rate of return to education, based on Mincer equation estimates around the world (Psacharopoulos, 1994). The construction of data on the average years of schooling has attracted considerable attention in the literature, with authors such as De La Fuente and Doménech (DD, 2006) and Cohen and Soto (2007) arguing that (earlier versions of) the BL data had undesirable features related to their inconsistent use of source data. The general challenge in constructing data on the average years of schooling in the population is to combine information from (decadal) population censuses with information on school enrolment, in the face of inconsistencies in classification systems between sources or censuses. Since the release of PWT 8.0 in July 2013, Cohen and Leker (2014) have constructed an alternative dataset for average years of schooling, which, they claim, is superior to the BL data and which is constructed in a similar fashion as the Cohen and Soto (2007) data; it will be referred as the CSL data. Though we take no stand on which specific data construction approach is most desirable, the availability of the CSL data provides an opportunity for comparison to the BL data and, as we will argue, there is a clear case for combining data from both sources in compiling the human capital index in PWT 9.0. A prima facie case for examining the different sources in more detail is given in Figure 1.

  • A New Index of Human Capital to Predict Economic Growth
    Online Appendix A New Index of Human Capital to predict Economic Growth Henry Laverde [email protected] Universidad Santo Tomás, Facultad de Economía Bogota, Colombia Juan C. Correa Facultad de Psicología. Fundación Universitaria Konrad Lorenz Bogotá, Colombia Klaus Jaffe Departamento de Biología de los Organismos. Laboratorio de Comportamiento Universidad Simón Bolívar, Caracas, Venezuela. Clarifications and limitations of the proposed model Human capital is an abstract concept that encompasses individual cognitive abilities and skills. To identify human capital, this document uses the position of it in the productive process. On the one hand, it is known that to reach a certain level, a number of inputs must be used, such as schooling and health. On the other hand, once a certain level of human capital is attained, a series of returns must be generated and reflected in productivity, capacity for innovation, etc. In this sense, human capital is situated in the middle of the productive process, such that it is neither an input nor a final product. However, because human capital is not observable, it can be approximated through related inputs or returns associated with individuals, with the hope that there is a high correlation between inputs or returns and human capital. Both approaches have been used in the literature, primarily with one-dimensional structures. Independently of the approach used, the question arises as to why a composite measure if a single variable could be used to approximate human capital. To answer this question, average years of education are used as an example for the input approach and the two variables used in this document, EC and PP, are used as examples for the returns approach.
