Do renewable electricity policies promote renewable electricity generation? Evidence from panel data (2013, background): “Human capital is believed to facilitate the adoption of renewable innovative technologies (Benhabib and Spiegel, 2005); (6) Foreign direct investment (FDI): measured by FDI net inflows as a proportion of GDP.”
Technology clubs, technology gaps and growth trajectories (2008, methodology): “…assumed by Schumpeterian growth models with multiple equilibria, since the imitation and catching up process is expected to be more rapid when the potential provided by a large technology-gap can be exploited by means of a welldeveloped absorptive capacity (Benhabib and Spiegel, 1994; 2005).”
Trade, growth and income (2011, background): “…the diffusion of technology and innovations, the adoption of technology depends on the absorptive capacity of a country, which is determined by human capital (Abramovitz 1986; Cohen and Levinthal 1989; Acemoglu and Ziliboti 2001; Benhabib and Spiegel 2005) and R&D (Verspagen 1991; Fagerberg 1994).”
The economic case for education† (2016, background): “See the contributions by Nelson and Phelps (1966), Welch (1970), and Benhabib and Spiegel (2005).”
Trade and economic growth in developing countries: Evidence from sub-Saharan Africa (2017, background): “Human capital is a key determinant of technology adoption as permitted by trade openness (Benhabib and Spiegel, 2005; Cohen and Levinthal, 1989).”
Catch-up and fall-back through innovation and imitation (2013, unknown): “(48) 19 This result is similar to the force in Benhabib and Spiegel (2005).”
Schooling, educational achievement, and the Latin American growth puzzle (2012, background): “…that can be accumulated (Mankiw et al., 1992), its role in increasing the innovative capacity of the economy (Aghion and Howitt, 1998; Romer, 1990), or its role in facilitating the transmission of knowledge needed to implement new technologies (Benhabib and Spiegel, 2005; Nelson and Phelps, 1966).”
Trade and Growth at Different Stages of Economic Development (2009, background): “…of technology and innovations, the adoption of technology depends on absorptive capacity of a country,which is determinedbyhuman capital (Abramovitz, 1986;Cohen and Levinthal, 1989; Benhabib and Spiegel, 2005), R&D (Verspagen, 1991; Fagerberg, 1994) andfinancial development (Aghion et al., 2005).”
Stock market liberalization and innovation (2021, unknown): “Third, we control for the logarithm of human capital index (HumCap) from PWT 8.0, because Benhabib and Spiegel (2005) show that human capital plays a positive role as an engine for innovation by providing essential intellectual support.”
Unequal Opportunities and Human Capital Formation (2006, background): “1 The reader is referred to the seminal contributions of Lucas (1988) on the theoretical side, and those of Mankiw et al. (1992), Benhabib and Spiegel (1994, 2005) and Barro (2001) for the empirical evidence supporting the importance of human capital in explaining growth rates across countries.”
Income projections for climate change research: A framework based on human capital dynamics (2017, methodology): “…exercise abstracts from some important economic growth determinants, comparable speciﬁcations to the one used in this contribution have been often used in the literature (see Benhabib and Spiegel (1994), Benhabib and Spiegel (2005), Lutz et al. (2008) or Barro and Lee (2013), just to name a few).”
