The Impact of Human Capital on the Changes of Export Structure in the Process of Narrowing of the Technological Gap

Maria Majewska



Abstract

The aim of this paper is to present the research results on the impact of human capital's accumulation at the level of higher education on changes in export structure of Poland's economy which result from an increase in learning productivity of a country and technological progress. The period between 1993 and 2015 was under consideration. The research was carried out with the help of the methods of Pearson's linear correlation analysis and Spearman's rank corelation analysis. The results confirm the importance of human capital as a factor affecting the level of learning productivity of the Polish economy and demonstrate its role as a determinant of the reallocation of export structure towards more technologically intensive commodities. Development of human capital at the level of higher education in Poland thus contributes to building the endogenous advantages based on knowledge, and giving higher income from exports, which later can be reinvested in further strengthening these advantages, eg. through innovative activities.(original abstract)
