Abstract: Despite its strategic location, squeezed between the West and Russia, the Ukraine has remained an unknown land since gaining its independence in 1991. This book presents theoretical and empirical investigation of the impact of human capital on economic growth in Ukraine during the period of 1989-2009. It defines place and role of human capital in the process of transition from the exogenous to the endogenous forms of growth.
Contents: Genesis of the growth theories -- Endogenous economic growth in Ukraine -- Economic growth in Ukraine and other NIS -- Empirical study.
