Abstract
Human resources development has long been considered an important factor in
economic growth. This study examines the contribution of human resources in
Ethiopia's economic growth. This is accomplished by entering education and
nutrition (as proxies for human resources development) apart from physical
capital and labor in the growth equation by taking the 28 years time period from
1967/68 to 1994/95. A long run static and a short run dynamic (error
correction) models are employed to observe the contribution of human
resources. The results obtained indicate that in the period under reference
education enters positively and significantly whereas nutrition enters positively
but insignificantly in explaining the growth in output.
