This study provides new empirical evidence concerning the relationship between human capital and economic growth for 17 European countries over the periods 2015-2019 and 2019-2022. The results show that both education and health have a positive and significant impact on economic growth, and thus support higher growth. Also, our empirical results before COVID-19 show that there is bidirectional causality between economic growth and health, as well as education and economic growth, and there is unidirectional causal relationship running from education to health. After COVID-19, there is no significant causality between economic growth education and health. The results of this study may be of great importance for policy and decision makers in developing policies to foster human capital for European countries.
本研究提供了有关2015 - 2019年和2019 - 2022年期间17个欧洲国家人力资本与经济增长之间关系的新实证证据。结果表明，教育和健康对经济增长都有积极且显著的影响，从而支持更高的增长。此外，我们在新冠疫情之前的实证结果表明，经济增长与健康之间、教育与经济增长之间存在双向因果关系，并且存在从教育到健康的单向因果关系。新冠疫情之后，经济增长、教育和健康之间不存在显著的因果关系。本研究结果对于欧洲国家制定促进人力资本的政策的政策制定者和决策者可能具有重要意义。
