Data Sources and Methodology

In this paper, we use the main variables to measure human capital , levels of education and information on GDP per capita. Data on human capital are from the dataset led by Jan Luiten Van Zanden, Clio Infra. Data on levels of education are from Barro and Lee (2013) and data on GDP per capita are from the last results presented by the Maddison group.

Measuring the impact of human capital on economic growth is a complex task since this variable is endogenous . This is why in the last part of the paper we present a natural experiment based on a reduced sample of Latin American countries. But quantitative results for all countries are presented in Sect. 2 of the paper.
