We find that all levels of education human capital, including higher education human capital, have positive and statistically significant effect on the growth rate of per capita income in African countries. Our result differs from those of earlier research that find no significant relationship between higher education human capital and income growth. We estimate the growth elasticity of higher education human capital to be about 0.09, an estimate that is twice as large as the growth impact of higher education, it is robust to different specifications and points to the need for African countries to effectively use higher education human capital in growth policies. - Reproduced.  aHigher education - Africa  aEconomic growth - Africa  aEconomic growth  aMitiku, workie  aPaddison, Oliver  aJournal of Development Studies  a70386  c70386d70386  00104070aIIPAbIIPAd2018-07-19hVolume no: 42, Issue no: 3pAR70846r2018-07-19w2018-07-19yAR
