Abstract
In this paper, we have estimated determinants of real regional percapita growth, with the focus on higher education effects, using a balanced paneldata set consisting of 16 Polish voivodships for the period from 2000 to 2015.Our results confirm a strong stimulating impact of the number of students onregional growth, but there is evidence (though rather weak) of a negative effectof the educational variable in changes. Such an outcome provides evidence infavor of the Nelson-Phelps approach, which stipulates positive growth effectsof the human capital stock. We also find that higher employment acceleratesregional growth, while evidence is rather ambiguous for investments in physicalcapital. Finally, our results offer evidence to support the convergence hypothesisin Poland.
