Professor of Economics, Texas A and M University, College Station, TX 77843-4228. Education, Economic Development, and Technology Transfer: A Colonial Test [Elektronische Daten] [John R. Hanson] I test the hypothesis advanced by Richard Easterlin and others that the importation of modern technology and prospects for economic development in the Third World are principally a function of the local population's formal schooling. According to orthodoxy, manufacturing more than any other sector should repay investment in human capital. Yet the correlation of schooling with the manufacturing sector is much lower than with the mineral sector, an enclave in colonial economies and a symbol of underdevelopment.
