dc.description.abstractEste artigo procura determinar a importância do capital humano para a difusão tecnológica num conjunto de países da Bacia Mediterrânica tendo por base as previsões da teoria do crescimento endógeno. Os resultados obtidos sugerem que a especificação não linear proposta por Benhabib and Spiegel (2002), que contempla quer a existência de convergência tecnológica quer de clubes de convergência, não se aplica a estes países, mas sim a especificação linear originalmente proposta por Benhabib and Spiegel (1994), com especial relevância do capital humano para as actividades de inovação tecnológica. Testámos também a possibilidade de complementaridade entre o capital humano e o IDE e a importância do primeiro para a difusão das TIC, mas apenas esta última hipótese prevaleceu. Para terminar, analisámos ainda a importância dos choques tecnológicos em termos de difusão tecnológica utilizando um modelo VAR, verificando-se a existência de complementaridade entre a PTF, o investimento em capital físico e o capital humano na absorção de qualquer um dos choques considerados.por
dc.description.abstractCet article essaie d'établir l'importance du capital humain dans la diffusion technologique pour un ensemble de pays du bassin méditerranéen, ayant pour base la théorie de la croissance endogène. Les résultats obtenus suggèrent que ce n'est pas la spécification non-linéaire proposée par Benhabib et Spiegel (2002) - recouvrant l'existence soit de la convergence technologique soit de clubs de convergence - qui s'applique à ces pays, mais la spécification linéaire originalement proposée par Benhabib et Spiegel (1994), surtout en ce qui concerne le capital humain dans les activités d'innovation technologique. La possibilité de complémentarité du capital humain et de l'IDE ainsi que l'importance du premier dans la diffusion des TIC a été testée, mais à peine la deuxième hypothèse a été confirmée. Finalement, à l'aide d'un modèle VAR, on analyse l'importance des chocs technologiques en termes de diffusion de technologies et le résultat confirme l'existence d'une complémentarité entre la PTF, l'investissement en capital physique et le capital humain dans l'absorption des chocs considérés.fra
dc.description.abstractThe purpose of this paper is to assess the importance of human capital as a facilitator of technological diffusion in a sample of developing Mediterranean countries based on the predictions of endogenous growth theory. The evidence does not support the Benhabib and Spiegel (2002) non-linear specification that accommodates both the hypothesis of technological convergence and convergence clubs but the linear specification originally proposed by Benhabib and Spiegel (1994), confirming a role for human capital in both innovation and imitation activities. We also tested the complementarity between FDI, a form of embodied technology diffusion, and human capital but this hypothesis was not confirmed and investigated the importance of human capital for the diffusion of ICT confirming it is fundamental to benefit from these technologies. Finally, we analysed the importance of technological shocks for technological diffusion using a VAR model finding evidence of factor complementarity between TFP, physical capital investment and human capital in the absorption of any of the shocks considered.eng
