The Impact of Education Quality and Cognitive Ability on Economic Growth Under the Context of China

Abstract

The study delves into the correlation between cognitive ability, education quality, and economic growth within the Chinese context. Through the analysis of two growth models, it sheds light on the intricate relationship between these factors. The findings suggest that the economic growth rate is contingent upon the interplay between the positive impact stemming from the accumulation of language cognitive ability and educational quality, and the negative effect resulting from investments in cognitive ability. The results indicate that when the level of cognitive ability is low, the positive effect of investing in cognitive ability is outweighed by the negative effect, consequently limiting the influence of cognitive ability enhancement on economic growth. However, as the level of cognitive ability rises, the negative impact of cognitive investment diminishes while the positive effect strengthens, thereby fostering economic growth through the augmentation of cognitive ability. Overall, the study sheds light on the intricate relationship between language cognitive ability, education quality, and economic growth in the Chinese context, showcasing the varying effects of cognitive investment depending on the level of cognitive ability.
