Investment in Primary, Secondary, and Higher Education and the Effects on Economic Growth (2006, unknown): “It takes time before students graduate and gain experience and productivity (Appiah and McMahon, 2002). Sylwester (2000) observes public education expenditures concurrent to growth being negative, short lags insignificantly positive, and longer lags significantly positive.”
Does Foreign Aid In Education Promote Economic Growth? Evidence From Sub-Saharan Africa (2014, methodology): “…(i) is intuitive and consistent with the predictions of the endogenous growth models: primary education enhances growth through many channels such as increased literacy, a reduction in fertility and mortality rates, and higher labor productivity (Ainsworth et al., 1996; Appiah and McMahon, 2002).”
Determinants of human capital formation and economic growth of African countries (2006, background): “…only exists in the micro data, but also in cross country growth equations, if the indirect effects of education on growth are taken into account (Appiah & McMahon, 2002; Barro, 1997; Carnoy, 1975; Lall, 1990; McMahon, 1984, 1987a, b, 1998, 1999; Schultz, 1961; Wolf, 2002; World Bank, 2000a;…”
Gender Equality and Economic Growth: Is there a Win‐Win? (2013, methodology): “As Appiah and McMahon (2002) point out, while some of the growth-related impacts of investments in education are more apparent in the short term, such as employment, earnings, better health and so forth, ‘the cumulative effects large enough to affect the nation significantly cannot reasonably be exp”
Exploring the relationship between education and obesity (2011, background): “Empirical studies, for example, suggest that education has a positive impact on health and well-being (Wolfe and Haveman 2002; LlerasMuney 2005), particularly in poorer countries (Cutler and Lleras-Muney, 2006), reduces crime (Lochner and Moretti 2004) and water and air pollution (Appiah and McMahon”
Education and Economic Growth: A Meta-Regression Analysis (2014, background): “Barro (2001) shows via 3SLS that scores and schooling years have a strong positive relation with per capita GDP growth, whereas Appiah and McMahon (2002) show that the per capita growth effects of enrollment rates are not significant.”
Higher education and economic growth in Africa (2006, background): “Appiah and McMahon (2002) find that education positively affects income growth directly and indirectly, through improved health, the environment, investment in physical capital, reduction in crime rates and political instability.”
The Costs of Missing the Millennium Development Goal on Gender Equity (2004, unknown): “Appiah and McMahon (2002) examine the impact of male and female education on growth, fertility, mortality, and other social and political indicators in Africa and then estimate a structural equation system to investigate all the feedback systems.”
