英文文献摘要:
The experience of South Korea, India, China and Singapore reveals that developing economies can fasttrack development, leapfrog the stages of development and catch up with advanced economies by putting knowledge capital as the driver of development. If the knowledge economy is therefore an accelerant of development for both advanced and developing economies, it is possible for Sub-Saharan African (SSA) economies to also catch up with advanced economies. It was on this basis that this study assessed the knowledge capacity of SSA and the effect it has on its economic advancement. Given the importance of the interrelatedness among the knowledge economy elements, this study, thus, examined how the interaction effect between the elements of the knowledge economy affects economic growth in 32 SSA countries, for which data were available, over the period of 17 years (1996-2012). Using the System Generalized Method of Moments (SGMM), the study found out that institutions and human capital in SSA mitigate the effect of innovation on economic growth in the region, thus, making it a lean knowledge economy.
韩国、印度、中国和新加坡的经验表明,发展中经济体可以通过知识资本作为发展的驱动力,实现快速发展、跨越发展阶段和赶上发达经济体。因此,如果知识经济是发达经济体和发展中经济体发展的助推器,那么撒哈拉以南非洲(SSA)经济体也有可能赶上发达经济体。在此基础上,本研究评估了SSA的知识能力及其对经济发展的影响。鉴于知识经济要素之间相互关联的重要性,因此,本研究考察了32个SSA国家在17年(1996-2012年)期间知识经济要素之间的相互作用如何影响经济增长(这些国家有数据)。利用系统广义矩法(SGMM)研究发现,SSA的制度和人力资本减缓了创新对区域经济增长的影响,使其成为精益知识经济。
