Abstract | This paper is part of the special issue of "Compare" which discusses the topic "Towards a comparative economics of education". "The nature of the relations between education and economic growth is far from having been perfectly determined. ... [In this article] three questions are addressed: Does higher education play a part in the growth process? Which sector of education is involved? Is its role the same in different countries? Using the notion of causality developed by Granger, the relationship between higher education and growth is compared in France and Germany before the Second World War. [ "Higher education" in this study is measured by student numbers.] The results show that higher education has an influence on gross domestic product but only in the case of France. Germany does not seem to obey the dominant theory whereby education is the cause of growth. Moreover, economic growth increases the number of students in Germany. This is consistent with the idea that education is a growth-driven accompanying investment."(DIPF/Orig.). |
