Abstract:

This dissertation explores the relationship between human capital, employment, and political activity. The first chapter studies the subject from a theoretical point of view, describing how underemployment of educated agents can lead to inefficient economic policies and political conflict due to increasing political instability. The second chapter presents empirical evidence of the positive relationship between human capital and the number of political mass events. The analysis is performed using a new dataset that covers the first-level administrative subdivision of several African co

Abstract:

In growth theory, convergence analysis tries to answer three fundamental questions "Are poor countries catching up with richer ones How quickly And what are the determinants of this process" This thesis deals with issues that are relevant to all these questions. It begins by setting out the key theoretical contributions to the analysis of the role of human capital in growth and convergence. Secondly, attention is turned to the way that convergence is estimated from data. The econometric techniques used in the convergence literature usually assume that shocks are uncorrelated across countries.

Background: Human capital disclosure is a widely examined topic by scholars, previous studies has mainly focused on annual reports and companies webpages.

Abstract:

The current and future level of demand for higher education in Oman far outweighs the ability of the economy to satisfy it under current financing arrangements. Oman's economy is based on oil and thus there is no guarantee that it will be able to sustain the current level of resourcing for higher education in the future. About half of the population is under the age of 15 and therefore future demand is likely to grow rapidly and the option of buying higher education abroad becomes less attractive in these circumstances. The economy needs an educated workforce in order to grow and to maintain i

One of the cornerstones in the <IR> framework is human capital which is one of the most valuable assets in an organization.

Knowledge workers are an important resource for the typical modern business firm, yet financial reporting ignores such resources. Some researchers contend that the accounting profession has stressed reliability in order to make the accounting appear objective. Others concur, noting that accounting is an insecure profession and adopts strict rules when faced with uncertainty. Accountants have promulgated a strict rule to expense human resource costs, although many know that such resources have future benefits.

Abstract:

The focus of the thesis is on the firm in the “knowledge economy”. A significant issue for the firm is the increasing importance of human capital in the knowledge economy and thus we examine the theory of the human-capital based firm. In the first section of the Introduction three questions are asked, What is a knowledge economy? How can we measure such an economy? and Can we know if we are in a new economy?, but only the last of them can be answered and only positively for the U.S. After this a brief survey of the theory of the firm literature is given.
