AERC Explaining n Economic Growth Project Revised Collins/Bosworth Growth Accounting Decompositions March 2003 Benno J. Ndulu* and Stephen A. O Connell** We provide revised growth accounting decompositions based on new data series provided by S. Collins and B. Bosworth, for the iod 1960-2000. The enclosed tables replace Tables 4.1 4.3, pages 26-37, in Ndulu and O Connell (2000), Background Information on Economic Growth. We also briefly discuss new empirical work that addresses some important shortcomings in the empirical literature on human capital and economic growth. *Lead Economist, World Bank Resident Mission, Dar es Salaam and Research Associate, CSAE. **Professor of Economics, Swarthmore College, and Research Associate, CSAE. We are grateful to Susan Collins for access to the data.
4.(revised) Collins-Bosworth growth accounting decompositions. The following tables provide revised data corresponding to section 4 of B. Ndulu and S. O Connell Background Information on Economic Growth, April 2000. See Collins and Bosworth (1996) for details of the growth accounting methodology, which is also described briefly in O Connell and Ndulu (2000), s Growth Exience: A Focus on Sources of Growth. The O Connell and Ndulu pas can be accessed from O Connell s web page: http://www.swarthmore.edu/socsci/soconne1/aercgrth.html Recall that the growth decomposition is based on an aggregate production function of the form 0.35 0.65 (1) Y = AK ( L h), where Y is real GDP, A is total factor productivity, K is the physical capital stock, L is the labor force, and h is an index of labor quality (human capital ). In - terms this is (2) y = Ak 0.35 h 0.65 where y Y / L is real GDP and k K / L is the physical capital stock. Taking logs, we obtain an exact decomposition of growth in real GDP (bgn) into the contributions of physical capital (bck), human capital (bch), and the residual (bcr): (3) bgn( t) = ln y( t) ln y( t 1) = ln A( t) ln A( t 1) + 0.35*[ln k( t) ln k( t 1)] + 0.65[ln h( t) ln h( t 1)] = bcr + bck + bch. Tables 4.2 and 4.3 show the decomposition by halfdecade, for five regions (Table 4.2) and for individual countries in Sub-Saharan (Table 4.3). For countries included in the latter table, each country teams will receive an individual spreadsheets containing the annual data for their country. 4.1 Notes on the new data The new Collins/Bosworth growth accounting sample consists of 84 countries instead of 88. The table directly below shows the changes in coverage and regional composition relative to the original sample of 88 countries. 1

R. and Sudan excluded. 22 22 No changes. S. Asia 4 4 No changes. E. Asia and Pacific Middle East and N. Industrial countries 9 8 Myanmar excluded. 11 11 21 20 Malta excluded; Cyprus included (previously in Industrial country group). Cyprus excluded (moved to Middle East and N. group). TOTAL 88 84 The new data also differ from the old data on a country-by-country basis, for various reasons. One is that the real GDP, real investment, and labor force are from the most recent World Development Indicators data, which means that they are not only extended to 2000 but also possibly revised relative to the previous series. Another is that the new capital stock uses a depreciation rate of 5% rather than the 4% used in Collins and Bosworth (1996); this means that the physical capital stock grows slightly more slowly in the new data, and the contribution of physical capital is therefore slightly smaller than in the old data. A final difference comes from the calculation of the education variable (see next section). 4.2 Revised educational attainment data and the role of human capital in growth regressions You will recall that O Connell and Ndulu (2000) omitted human capital variables from their pooled full specification, because the estimated coefficients were typically insignificant or of the wrong sign. As discussed by O Connell and 2
Soludo in their July 2001 memo to case study teams 1, weak formance of human capital variables has been a general problem in the growth literature, particularly when high-frequency data are used (e.g., annual data or halfdecade averages). Cohen and Soto (2001) have since developed a new dataset on educational attainment that they claim is less affected by measurement error than the widely-used Barro-Lee (1993) dataset. Cohen and Soto (2001) and Soto (2002) use these data in panel growth regressions (using 10-year averages) and find that a careful treatment of collinearity and endogeneity allows one to recover statistically significant, correctly-signed, and empirically plausible effects of human capital investment on growth. They estimate a direct return to schooling of 7-10 cent, which is very close to the roughly 10 cent that is characteristic of the microeconomic literature. They conclude from this that externalities to schooling which would raise the social or economy-wide return to schooling above the private, microeconomic return do not appear to be present. However, they show that if one calculates the full or long-run effect of an increase in educational attainment as the effect that would prevail if the ratio of physical capital to GDP were allowed to return to its original value following an increase in human capital a calculation that therefore adds an indirect effect via additional accumulation of physical capital then one gets a long-run impact of education on income that is somewhat larger, on the order of 12-16 cent for each additional average year of education. As described in Collins and Bosworth (1996), the Collins/Bosworth growth accounting decomposition uses a human capital variable that is constructed by applying a 7% return to years of educational attainment. The 1996 calculations used the Barro-Lee (1993) data on educational attainment. The new calculations use an average of the revised Barro-Lee data (Barro and Lee (2000)) and the new Cohen and Soto (2001) data, where possible. Using the average is appealing, because as long as the two series are unbiased and the correlation between their measurement errors is not too high and positive, the average of the two series should have smaller measurement error than either series taken alone. 1 Available on the website given in section 1 above. 3
