Abstract Human capital plays an important role in the theory of economic growth, but it has
been difficult to measure this abstract concept. We survey the psychological literature on
cross-cultural IQ tests and conclude that intelligence tests provide one useful measure of ...

Are more intelligent groups better at cooperating? A meta-study of repeated prisoner's
dilemma experiments run at numerous universities suggests that students cooperate 5–8%
more often for every 100-point increase in the school's average SAT score. This result ...

We show that a country's average IQ score is a useful predictor of the wages that immigrants
from that country earn in the United States, whether or not one adjusts for immigrant
education. Just as in numerous microeconomic studies, 1 IQ point predicts 1% higher ...

When money is added to a dynamic IS model, evidence from six countries indicates that
money growth usually helps predict the GDP gap and that the predictive power of a short-
term real interest is much weaker than previous work suggests. Thus, for dynamic IS ...

Abstract: Social science research has shown that intelligence is positively correlated with
patience, while growth theory predicts that more patient countries will save more. In a closed
economy, that means high average IQ countries will become more capital-intensive. In an ...

Abstract: A recent line of research demonstrates that cognitive skills-intelligence quotient
scores, math skills, and the like-have only a modest influence on individual wages, but are
strongly correlated with national outcomes. Is this largely due to human capital spillovers? ...
