본 연구는 지난 30년간(1975-2004년) 한국의 경제성장과정에서 교육의 부문별(초등 중등 고등교육) 역할을 추정하는 데 주목적이 있다. 본 연구는 우선 신고전학파 Solow의 외생적 경제성장이론을 접목한 Cobb-Douglas 모형을 확장하여 1인당 경제성장 추정을 위한 내생성장모형을 제시하였다. 또한 자료 한계를 극복하기 위하여 동아시아 7개국 자료를 바탕으로 시계 및 횡단면 자료를 블록으로 구축하여 앞의 내생성장모형을 이용한 pooling방법으로 1인당 경제성장에 물적자본, 단순노동력, 인적자본, 지적자본(R&D), 초기년도의 기술수준 등의 기여분을 추정하였다. 이러한 각 생산요소의 직접적인 추정결과로부터 각 요소간(고등교육, 중등교육, 지적자본) 상호작용으로 인한 간접적인 기여분 추정을 위해 연립방정식체계를 구축하고 각 요소의 영향력을 재 추정하여 보정된 결과를 제시하였다. 1975-2004년간 한국의 경제성장 과정에 있어서 인적자본요소인 교육은 40.7%를 기여였으며 이를 다시 분해하면 중등교육이 가장 큰 87.0%, 초등교육이 6.6%, 중등교육에 간접적으로 기여한 대학교육이 -52.9%를 보였다. 물적자본이 39.6%, R&D자본이 24.1%들 보였으며 지식 정보기반사회에서 그 의미가 감소한 단순노동력은 -1.4%, 기술추격을 가능케 하는 1975년도 초기기술수준이 -3.0%의 추정결과를 보여주고 있다. 향후 정책연구 과제로는 한국미 지식기반사회에서 선진국으로 진입하기 위해서는 경제성장과정에서 대학의 역할을 제고할 필요성이 있음을 제안하고 있다. 이를 위해서는 기존 대학의 양적인 구조조정이 필요하다. 특히 대학의 질적 경쟁력을 높이기 위한 정부의 대학 지원 역할 역시 제고되어야 할 것이다. 또한 이 글은 교육시장과 노동시장을 어떠한 방법으로 연계 시키는가를 논의하고 세계시장의 급격한 기술변화와 체제변화에 따라 국내노동시장의 필요한 산업인력수요의 내용도 같은 속도의 변화를 요구하고 있음을 상기시키고 연계지원 정책을 주장하고 있다.

This study examined the investment in human capital of Korean urban households. Data for this study were from the 2001 Household Income and Expenditure Survey and consisted of a sample of 2,681 households. The results of Gini's concentration coefficient showed high inequality of investment in human capital. To investigate which factors influence investments in human capital, various socio-demographic variables were analysed. High investment in human capital is shown in high society indicating that they transmit the advantage of education to their descendants. The results of this study is useful for welfare professionals who work in family well-being.

The purpose of this study was to investigate the effects of human, social and cultural capital and ecological variables on volunteering among older adults. In this study, three variables of education, income and physical health were examined as human capital factors, two variables of formal and informal interaction as social capital factors, three variables of religion, cultural organization participation and quality of life as cultural capital factors, and three variables of existence of spouse, housing tenure and residence area as ecological factors. In addition, two variables of volunteering participation and continuous volunteering participation intention were considered as dependent variables. For this study, "Senior Job Replacement Project Participants" data collected by the Korea Labor Force Development Institute for the Aged were used and analyzed employing logistic regression analysis technique. This study found that three human capital variables(education, income, physical health) had positive effects on volunteering participation and continuous participation intention among older adults; of the two social capital variables, informal interaction had a positive effect on both volunteering participation and continuous participation intention, whereas formal interaction had a positive effect only on continuous participation intention; three cultural capital variables(religion, cultural organization participation, quality of life) had positive effects on both volunteering participation and continuous participation intention; and of three ecological variables, housing tenure and residence area had positive effects on volunteering participation and continuous participation intention, whereas existence of spouse had no significant effects on dependent variables.

Appropriation means the process of transforming resources to property. John Locke earlier investigated the appropriation process of natural resources into the land property, which grounded the jurisprudential base of the private ownership of the land. In the same way human resources are transformed into the human assets. Appropriation process, very rarely studied so far, in this case of human property is the focus of this paper. The appropriation of intangible property is by far easier than the appropriation of tangible property. Learning is a process of embodiment, which naturally mean the process of appropriation. For the material resources which exist out of human body, appropriation necessary need special philosophical and institutional justification. In the process appropriation for intangibles, investigator found, appropriator and learner either can be same, or can be differentiated. In the former case substantial human assets are created while in the latter relational human assets are built. After the discussion of appropriation process, Investigator proceeds to the problem of visualizing the invisibles. Evaluation and assessment issue were discussed in this perspective. Qualification system is particularly noted as a system to regulate substantial human assets including their issuing and registration. The work done in this paper would contribute in understanding the law of education and the law of qualification.

This study measures the efficiency of intellectual capital of Korea's banks, financial investment companies, and insurance companies using the Value Added Intellectual Coefficient (VAICTM) model, which was developed by A. Pulic and investigates into the relationship of each of VAIC's elements - efficiency of human, structural, and material capital -with business performance of the institution. we found, first, average VAIC and human capital efficiency(HCE) of Korean financial institutions during 2001 - 2012 were highest among banks, followed by insurance companies and securities firm. Secondly, in general, banks in advanced countries tend to have higher HCE and VAIC compared with the banks of developing countries. Thirdly, Korean financial institutions' HCE and VAIC are lower than those of Australia and even Taiwan and Thailand and have been on the decrease in recent years. This suggests that Korean financial institutions should enhance VAIC and HCE to build-up the international competitiveness.

Although many policy makers and scholars argue that foreign direct investment is crucial to the economic growth of developing countries, there is no universal agreement on the positive relationship between foreign direct investment inflows and economic growth. Using a cross-country analysis based on data from 88 countries for the years 1990-2015, this paper empirically explores the impact of FDI on economic growth. To this end, several versions of the neoclassical growth models, explicitly including FDI, are estimated. Subject to the appropriate caveats, the results provide further support for several key conclusions of former studies, including the inference that investment in physical capital, population growth, and human capital are important in accounting for economic growth across countries. The results show that FDI significantly contributes to economic growth in developing countries.

This paper shows that when children's ability is heterogeneous, a parent's choices about educational expenditures and fertility follow a pooling equilibrium or a separating equilibrium. Which of the two equilibria will prevail depends on the probability of getting a high-ability child as well as productivity differentials in producing children's adult human capital. Adopting the model of Acemoglu's (1999), this paper presents that the outcome of the pooling choice in the pooling regime and the outcome of the separating choice in the separating regime make the growth rate of human capital higher than otherwise. In addition, as the probability of a high-ability child increases, the growth rate of human capital in the separating equilibrium exceeds that in the pooling equilibrium.

The purpose of this study was to figure out married female immigrants' experience and process of investing in human capital in Korea. The participants were 11 women from multicultural families who had experience of investing in human capital in Korea, could communicate in the Korean language, and were living in Daegu. The data were collected using intensive interviews. The major findings were as follows: The participants' level of education and work experience in native country were not accepted as human capital and offered no advantages or obtaining employment in Korea, while English language skills were useful for those pursuing an English lecturer position. The motives for investing in human capital were 'adjusting to early stage of marriage and a new environments', 'for their childrens' education', 'to improve female immigrants' level of education', 'seeking a better job', and 'advocating more education'. The types of investing in human capital were 'learning Korean language and culture', 'applying to Open University or taking a middle or high school qualification examination', 'obtaining certification', and 'entering regular university'. The participants' plans for investing in the future were 'finding their own job', 'entering regular university', and 'participating in useful educational programs including Korean language skills for daily life' The results showed that the participants' motives for investing in human capital were related in the stage of their marriage. The phases and changes in their motives during a marriage proved that the participants continued to invest in human capital according to their needs and situation.

Public investment in education has been justified by assumed positive externalities of education. Using the 1995 10% Population and Housing Census and 1998 Korean Labor and Income Panel Study, this study first examines the distribution of human capital across Korean cities and industries, and second, investigates the sizes of external economies of education by exploring how the average schooling of workers in cities and industries affect an individual worker's hourly wage. Generally, the average schooling of workers in the capital region cities is much higher than in other cities and the average schooling of workers in high tech industries is much higher than in other industries. As the average years of schooling in a city increases by one year, workers with the same personal and job characteristics such as sex, education, experience, occupation, and firm size, earn about 3% more. Also as the average years of schooling of workers in an industry increases by one year, the workers with the same personal and job characteristics earns about 5~7% more.
