Keywords:
English, Economic Growth, Panel DataAbstract
This study takes into account the relationship between English proficiency and economic development. Panel Data Models and Seeming Unrelated Regression are employed. The data-base covers the period of 2011 - 2016 with 77 countries. The Barro-type panel growth regression is employed. The empirical results show that English Proficiency has positive effect to economic growth. Therefore, countries with higher levels of English proficiency among the division of its population are likely to grow faster. The results also indicate that higher level of English proficiency is positively related to the level of Human Development Index. Thus, it implies that the levels of English proficiency managed to count as a significant component of human capital development.
