After a long, dormant period, recent attention has turned to a variety of measurement issues surrounding the concept of human capital. The traditional approach of rely entirely on measures of school attainment, while convenient, is almost certainly misleading. The availability of cognitive skills measures greatly improves on these measurements, but there remains also concern about other unmeasured factors, including noncognitive skills. This paper considers alternative approaches to assessing the role of human capital on individual earnings and on economic growth.

This paper analyzes the economic effects of the S&T Innovation, R&D, human resources and investment on the economic growth using 18 countries. We have obtained the somewhat mixed results on the existence of unit root roots in variables. While most of Pedroni cointegration tests show that there are no panel cointegration among the variables, Kao cointegration test shows that there is the panel cointegration among the variables such as GDP, human capital, R&D investment and patent. Kao cointegration test result shows that human capital, R&D investment, patent economic growth seem to have the panel cointegration or the long-run relationship among them as a whole. The estimation results of individual OLS and panel estimation show that the human capital, R&D investment and technology innovation or patent had positively significant effects on economic growth or GDP.

Recently, there has been increasing interests on strategic orientation and intellectual capital as measures of competitiveness and their impacts on firm performance. However, there was little research which verify empirically the relationships among strategic orientation, intellectual capital and firm peformance. This research scrutinizes the effects of strategic orientaion on intellectual capital and firm performance. Based on literature review, research model and hypotheses are developed and empirically tested. The results are as follows. First, market orientaion and entrepreneurial orientation have positive effects on human capital, structural capital and customer capital which compose intellectual capital. Second, market orientaion and entrepreneurial orientation do not influence firm performance directly, but indirectly influence firm performace via intellectual capital. Third, the hypothesis about the relationship between intellectual capital and firm performacne is partially accepted. Only customer capital affects firm performance. Discussions and implications are followed.

이 연구는 개인들의 노동공급행위를 설명하는 중요한 이론 중 하나인 '인적자본론'이 여성들의 취업특성을 설명하는 데에 여전히 유효한지에 대한 문제제기에서 출발했다. 구체적으로 이 연구는 여성들이 지닌 인적자본이 여성들의 취업결정과 취업직종에 어떠한 영향을 미치는지를 경험적으로 분석했다. 이 연구에서 살펴보고자 하는 가설은 크게 두 가지로서, 첫째는 여성들의 인적자본이 여성들의 취업률에는 어떤 영향을 미치는지이며, 둘째는 여성들의 인적 자본이 여성들의 취업직종에는 어떤 영향을 미치는지이다. 한국사회 고학력 여성들의 경제활동참여율이 매우 저조하다는 데에서 알 수 있듯이, 여성들이 지닌 인적자본이 여성들의 취업률에 별다른 영향을 미치지 못할 것이라는 점이 이 연구의 주된 가설이다 하지만 일단 취업을 한 여성들의 경우에는 그들이 갖고 있는 인적자본이 취업직종에서는 상당한 설명력을 지닐 것으로 여겨져 이러한 내용으로 두 번째 가설이 구성되었다. 분석 결과, 가설에서 설정한 대로 인적자본론의 이론적 예측과 달리, 여성들의 취업결정에 인적자본은 별다른 영향을 미치지 못하거나 혹은 정반대로 부(-)적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났다. 특히 가장 중요한 인적자본 중의 하나인 '학력'의 효과를 살펴보면, 학력이 높을수록 뚜렷하게 일률적으로 취업률이 낮아짐을 확인해 볼 수 있었다. 그밖에, 여성들이 지닌 자격증이나 취업 훈련 여부, 또 건강 상태 등과 같은 인적자본 요소도 여성들의 취업결정에는 별다른 영향을 미치지 못하는 것으로 나타났다 한편 인적자본은 여성들의 취업직종에는 상당한 정도의 정(+)적인 영향을 미치는 것으로 나타났지만. 이 분석결과도 실질적인 내용을 따져보니 그다지 유효한 영향 효과라고 보기 어려웠다 취업직종과 연령 및 학력과의 회귀분석 결과 여성 취업직종의 열악한 상황을 재확인해 볼 수 있었다. 따라서 한국사회 여성들의 인적자본은 여성들의 취업 결정 및 취업유형에 의미있는 변수가 되지 못한다고 할 수 있다.

Purpose - This study attempts to analyze whether or not there are characteristics among the top management of companies that promote corporate performance at venture companies. It investigates the characteristics of the human and social capital that are inherent in top management at a venture company and conducts an empirical analysis of hypotheses examining if these characteristics will affect utilization of the governmental R&D support system as well as affect the firm's initial success. Research design, data, and methodology - This study conducted theoretical and empirical research together to accomplish the goal of the study. The pilot study researched human capital and social capital as the independent variables; the governmental R&D support system as the parameter; and, the initial success as the dependent variable. The empirical study carried out research on the model, establishment of hypotheses, and the statistical treatment. A survey was conducted targeting top management of high-tech venture companies in Daedeok Innopolis; 500 questionnaires were distributed; and, 222 were collected. Results - The human and social capital inherent in top management at venture companies in the early stages of their existence become good evaluation data for those who are invested in similar resources. If top management includes strong human and social capital, access to external resources will be easier; these will have a positive influence on the selection of overnmental support systems; and, this proper support will also have a positive influence on the initial success of the venture company. The results revealed the following. First, it was found that when the educational level and functional background, (the top management human capital), are the output function, top management human capital had a significant influence on selection of governmental R&D support funds. Second, it was found that the internal social capital and external social capital, (the top management social capital), had a significant influence on selection of governmental R&D support tasks. Third, it was found that selection of the governmental R&D support tasks at the start of the venture company had a positive influence on the corporate financial performance such as sales, business profits, and the increase in workers; and, had a significant influence on nonfinancial performance such as market share, competitive position, product competitiveness, and the future product development. Conclusions - Selection of the governmental R&D support system is not recognized as part of the direct sales of a venture company in its early stages, but as it can reduce costs for technical development and helps significantly in creating test products and mass production, it has a positive influence on the company's financial performance and nonfinancial performance as a result. Therefore, companies should take great efforts to frequently be selected as a candidate in the governmental R&D support system, as it can help facilitate R&D that requires extensive funds. As a result, companies can expect effects such as job creation and patent applications and they can advance future product sales.

This study aims to investigate the relationship between foreign direct investment (FDI) and economic growth at the provincial level by using time-series data in Binh Dinh from 1997 to 2019. We applied the quantitative approaches Vector Autoregression (VAR) and Autoregressive Distributed Lags (ARDL) in the model, which includes economic growth, real foreign direct investment capital, ratio of trained workers, and infrastructure. The results show that all these variables are stationary at the first difference. In ARDL analysis, we found that the economic growth positively affects FDI attraction. However, there is no evidence of the effect of FDI on economic growth in the condition of low capital implemented. Moreover, findings also show that the impact of FDI on economic growth is influenced by two factors: infrastructure and human capital. The lack of human capital, which is trained personnel and infrastructure, is the main barrier hindering and inhibiting FDI's contribution to local economic growth. In order to improve the efficiency of FDI on economic growth in the future, it is suggested that the Binh Dinh government should have proper policies in terms of the infrastructure, the human capital investment. They would allow Binh Dinh to enhance the capital absorptive capacity and capital efficiency.

This study investigated how family capital was associated with the working memory of young school-aged children from immigrant families in the United States using the New Immigrant Survey. Family capital was identified as economic, human, cultural, and social capital, and children's working memory was measured by the Digit Span scores. Poisson regression analysis was used for examining the sample of 428 children from the New Immigrant Survey. Results indicated that cultural capital within the home was positively associated with the working memory of young school-aged children whereas economic, human, and social capital was not. Implications and limitations of the study are also discussed.
