The macro literature has tried to identify the

fundamental determinants of development

Institutions (AJR 2001, Acemoglu et al. 2002, 2014),

Geography (Sachs 2003), Trade (Frankel and Romer 1999), Human Capital (Lucas 1998)

Evidence linking human capital to income is weak at

the macro-level

These macro findings are at odds with a large literature in

labor economics on the returns to education

  • 10 to 15% for each additional year of schooling

Motivation

Human Capital 2

The literature on the macro effect of human capital

  • n growth using average years of schooling is not

conclusive:

Barro (1991): Positive Impact of Human capital on growth: challenged by Bils and Klenow: most of the variation explained by the fact that human capital depends

  • n expected growth. Other challenges: Pritchett (2010)

Even individual country results hotly contested: China

  • Bosworth and Collins (2008): human capital unimportant for

China’s growth

  • Whalley and Zhao (2010): human capital is important!

Castello, Chaudhary and Mukhopadhyay

Measurement of human capital is incorrect

Average years of education may not be the most

appropriate measure of human capital

  • Especially in poor countries with significant illiteracy

Quantity is not quality adjusted

Problems of cross-country analysis

Differences in culture, institutions and access to

technology make causal relationships hard to estimate

Potential Explanations for Discrepancy

We estimate the impact of tertiary education

completion on development using district-level data from India

Advantages of district-level analysis

  • More homogeneous units compared to countries

Night lights as a proxy for development (Henderson et al.

2012)

Tertiary education is correlated with development and

growth in India (Castelló-Climent and Mukhopadhyay 2013)

What do we do?

SLIDE 6

Castello, Chaudhary and Mukhopadhyay

Evolution of tertiary education and income generally

go together

Include controls for geography, social structure and

historical factors that may influence tertiary education

Use exogenous variation generated by the location of

Catholic missions circa 1911 as an instrument

Is the location of missions endogenous?

  • History of Catholicism in India
  • Regressions using data from 1931 and 1901
  • Big push in setting up Catholic schools and colleges comes after

independence

Endogeneity of tertiary education

Significant positive effect of tertiary education

completion on luminosity

No weak instruments problem Robust to alternate definitions of development

Robustness checks suggest catholic missions did not

influence economic development through other channels

We need an instrument to account for the potential

endogeneity of tertiary education

Must be correlated with 2001 tertiary completion Should meet exclusion criterion: not be correlated

directly with development

We use an indicator variable for whether a Catholic

mission/missionary was located within the area defined by the 2001 district

Syrian Christians (St. Thomas Christians) are the

earliest Catholics (1st century A.D.)

Catholic Church history begins with the arrival of the

the Portuguese in Calicut in 1498

Under Padroada Real (special ecclesiastical privileges

given to the Portuguese by the Pope), Catholic missions were set up in the 16th century

Initially Franciscans and Dominicans but then taken over

by the Jesuits after arrival of Francis Xavier in 1542

Missions initially established in Portuguese strongholds

  • f Daman, Diu, Vasai and Mumbai along the coast (78

percent of catholic missions in 1911 are located in coastal districts)

Missions were then established in the interior.

Individual preferences of missionaries seem to have played a

  • role. For example, an enterprising Jesuit Robert de Nobili

moved to Madurai, pretended to be an upper caste Hindu, established the Madurai mission in order to recruit Brahmins into the catholic fold

Several instances of Jesuits trying to convert upper

caste Hindus whereas non Jesuits work to convert tribal populations

Mughal Emperor Akbar allowed Catholics to set up

missions in Gujarat but missionaries chose location: but not historic places of trade and production

First mission in Bengal was not in Calcutta

As Portuguese rule declined in the 17th century,

neither the native Indian rulers nor the East India Company were sympathetic to the Catholic cause. (especially the Jesuits)

Also the ecclesiastical dispute between Rome and

Portugal made it difficult for all catholic missionaries. Resolved only in 1885 by the Pope with a charter that established the Indian Catholic Church.

Most jurisdictions came under the Rome

In 1911, there were only 9 catholic colleges (as

compared to 40 protestant colleges): 5 percent of total colleges in India

Catholics largely absent from primary and secondary

schools

It was only in the 20th century, especially after the

reorganization of the church that they embarked on a extensive program of education

India today has more Jesuit priests at 3,851 than any

May be correlated to completed tertiary education. Inclusion in the last column does not change the

coefficient of tertiary education

But we can do better:

Only completed schooling is an endogenous variable Instrument by Protestant Missions (Statistical Atlas of

Christian Missions , 1908)
