Trust and growth: a shaky relationship (2008, neutral): “As for Schooling, Lorgelly and Owen (1999), Krueger and Lindahl (2001); Temple (2001) and de La Fuente and Domenech (2006) likewise find that the relationship between education, be it male or female, and growth is seldom statistically significant.”

Human capital in the long run (2016, background): “Many researchers have attempted to construct direct measures of the stock of educational attainment (De La Fuente and Doménech, 2006; Cohen and Soto, 2007).”
Frontier Technology and Absorptive Capacity: Evidence from OECD Manufacturing Industries (2006, neutral): “Human capital is measured by average years of schooling in the population and is taken from de la Fuente and Domènech (2000).
