The general conclusion of the research is simple and unequivocal: improvements in the quality (as opposed to the quantity) of schooling increases the cognitive ability of the labour force, which directly translates to greater productivity and higher economic output for a province or country. More specifically, the work correlates and quantifies both improvements in education outcomes (on the ‘input’ side) and the corresponding increases in GDP growth (on the ‘output’ side).
