Indian Economic Development: Human Capital Formation in India

Question:

Which of the following is NOT correct in the context of physical capital?

Options:

Physical capital formation can be built through exports.

Physical capital is completely mobile between countries without any exception.

Both 1 and 2

None of the above

Correct Answer:

Both 1 and 2

Explanation:

The two forms of capital i.e. Physical and Human, differ in terms of mobility across space. Physical capital is completely mobile between countries except for some artificial trade restrictions. Human capital is not perfectly mobile between countries as movement is restricted by nationality and culture. Therefore, physical capital formation can be built even through imports, whereas human capital formation is to be done through conscious policy formulations in consonance with the nature of the society and economy and expenditure by the state and the individuals.
