AUG 3 1970 I i HUM/\N CAPITAL AND THE INDIAN PATTERN OF FOREIGN TRADE by Jagdish N. BhaRwati and Ranganath Biiaradwaj Number 57 -Zj^ '^O ^ July 19 70 , Human Capital and tl ie Ind ian Patte rn of Foreign Trade Jagdish N. IJhagwati and Ranga th Bharadwaj The well-known Leontief paradox, consisting in the finding that the United States exports were labour-intensive, has been examined recently from a number of angles to reconcile it with the Heckscher-Ohlin theory's ' ' predictions. 2 Among these efforts, an important line of analysis is to be traced to Leontief s own attempted reconciliation via the assertion that United States labour is thrice as efficient as foreign labour, so that the United States is actually labour, rather than capital, abundant. independent evidence in support of this assertion: Leontief produced no his conclusion that the Hecks cher-Ohl in theory was therefore verified was thus methodologically unsound. However, his recognition of the non-homogeneity of labour has proven to be significant. Thus Kenen-Yudin (1965) and Bhagwati (1964) have independently proposed that any return to labour, in excess of the average unskillecl wage, may be treated as return to "human capital." In this case this return can be capitalised and the resulting estimate of human capital can be added to 1 the estimated "physical" capital, yielding an adjusted capital magnitude and The calculations underlying this paper were possible thanks to financial assistance granted by the Center for International Studies, M.I.T. and the International Economics Workshop at Columbia University. Research support by P. S. Shanmukham and the National Science Foundation is also acknowledged. Andrea iieller made the necessary calculations. ^For a detailed review of these attempts, see Bhagwati Chapter I and Addendum) 's review (1969, .. -2- hence an adjusted capital/labour Intensity in the export and import-competing industries 3 Alternatively, the actual computational technique may take the returns themselves and estimate the ratio of returns to (physical and human) capital to returns to unskilled labour, as has recently been done for Germany by Roskarap and McMeekin (1968). For perfect markets, and accurately recorded information, this method should yield the same capital/labour ratio rankings of exports and import-competing activities. In absence of these ideal con- ditions, however, we would be well-advised to cross-check our results by using both the capital and the returns estimates. Finally, Hal Lary (1968) has recently proposed that value added per employee is a good approximation to the capital/labour intensity of an activity since returns to physical capital, investment in human beings, and investment in land as well, would account for the overwhelming bulk of it. Since capital estimates are notoriously unreliable, and since investment in factors (such as land) other than labour also should be taken into account in estimating total capital, Lary's method has certain definite advantages. In this paper, therefore, we present estimates of the capital/labour intensities of India's exports and import-competing activities, for the 1953-54 pattern of trade, using tlie entire range of techniques for adjusting the capital estimates: 3 This approach was used in Indian data in an earlier paper of Bhagwatl We have summarised the results of this paper in and Bharadwaj (1967), Section II. There are some difficulties here, arising from phenomena such as monopoly rents. For a critical discussion, see Bhagwati (1969, Addendum to Chapter T) . 3- (i) (ii) the Bhagwati-Bharadwaj-Kenen-Yudln (BBKY) method (Section II); the Roskamp-McMeekin (RM) method (Section III); and (iii) the Lar>' method (Section V), Adjustments for liuman capital by all three methods confirms that the Indian exports are relatively labour-intensive; the findings are thus con- sistent with the Hecks cher-Ohlin theory. However, the BBKY method indicates that exports are skill-intensive whereas the RM method indicates the opposite: a phenomenon on which we comment at some length (Section V) ^" Bharadwaj exercise, Bharadwaj *s Unadju ste d Results (1962) had earlier computed, following Leontief's pioneering the factor contents of an export vector containing Rs-10 million worth of composite goods; and of a vector of import substitutes identically, using the (36 x 36) Indian Statistical Institute input-output table for 1953-54 and using the trade pattern of the same year. Tlie resulting factor requirements, in terms of physical capital and labour, for the vectors of exports and import replacements have been reproduced here in Tables 1 and 2 respectively. The results show that Indian exports absorb relatively more of labour and relatively less of physical capital than import replacements of equal niese results are thus consonant with the predictions of the Heckscher- value. Ohlin theory. Our concern now is, however, to see how these results stand to be 5 Cf. Bharadwaj (1962, pp. 30-70) for further details, . modified when adjustment is made in a number of possible ways for the presence of human capital. II : The Bhagwati-Bharadwaj-Ken en-Yu din Method Our first method of adjusting the capital estimates consists in ap- proximating the differential between skilled and unskilled wages as the returns to human capital. For this purpose, we had to estimate both the wage differential, and the proportion of skilled to total labour, in each of the 36 sectors. Since each sector, in turn, is composed of several "industries" and complete in- formation was not available for all industries in each sector, we used the estimates for the industries, where available, and turned them into cor- responding sectoral estimates by using alternatively (i) the industry outputs and (ii) the industrial employment, as weights. the weights used, are reproduced in Table The estimates, as also Note, in particular, that we 3. assumed zero human capital in Agriculture (Sector I) and, for Sectors 35 and 36 we had to use the "corresponding" averages in other sectors in view of the unavailability of direct information. llie estimation of the sectoral returns to human capital, and the re- sulting estimates of returns to human capital (by sector) corresponding to the composite bundles of exports and import-substitutes, then involved a straightforward calculation of: .V^s-%> 1=1 Tlie • li- ^i • lio • ^' pioneering empirical study, using this method, is the important work of Kenen and Yudin (1965) on the U. S. results of Leontief -5- where W = average daily wage for the "skilled" labour in the ith industry of the sector; W. = average daily ith industry of the sector; 1. employment in the ith industry; year of the ith industry; Q = d, wage for the "unskilled" labour in the percentage of skilled workers to total = average number of working days, in the = percentage contribution to sectoral output (or employment as the case may be) of the industry i, (1 = l,,..,n = number of industries in the sector); and L = direct and indirect labour requirements of the composite commodity exports (or import replacements, as the case may be) in that sector. But these estimates related to the returns to human capital. We then had to capitalise these returns into estimates of human capital itself. thus had to estimate the rates of return on human capital. these estimates, as calculated by Harberger (1965). Table 4 We contains Since it was not possible for us to separate out the different skill-types in our estimate of the skill component in wages, by level of education attained, we took three alternative, illustrative estimates, spanned by llarberger's calculations, at 10%, 15%, and 17%. The resulting estimates of human capital, directly and indirectly employed in the 36 sectors are put together in Tables 5(a) and 5(b), for exports and competitive imports respectively. On aggregating the physical and human capital estimates, and recom- puting the capital-labour intensities of Indian exports and import-substitutes, we then obtained the results presented in Table 6. It is interesting that the results show uniformly, on all the alternative assumptions about i^eights and rates of return, a narrowing of the relative labour- intensity of Indian exports. Thus the conclusion that Indian exports are labour-intensive sur- vives the adjustment for human capital. On the other hand, Indian exports -6- appear to be skills-intensive: a phenomenon on which we comment later, when we have presented results for the other two methods of adjustment. Ill: The Roskamp-McMeekin Method We also ran our exercise through the Roskamp-McMeekin method which uses data on returns rather than on stocks. In doing this, we had to arrive at estimates of the returns to physical capital, as distinct from estimates of the physical capital stock in different sectors. This innovation in the procedure meant that we had, at times, to resort to new sources of data for our estimates: the comparability of these sources with the sources used for estimates of returns to human capital (used in the Bhagwati-Kenen procedure as also the current one) has been discussed in the Appendix on Sources. The estimates of returns to physical capital included profits and interest payments; remuneration to managing agents was excluded on the ground that it con- stituted wages for management, whereas rent on land was generally counted in as return to capital. Table 7 gives the results of the calculations. The rows list the sec- Columns (5) and (6) give the estimates of physical and human capital tors. coefficients, defined as the corresponding rentals per unit output of the sector. Column (7) gives the labour coefficients, defined as the unskilled wages per unit output of the sector whereas Column (8) gives the sum of human and physical capital by sector. presented in Table Estimates based on these data are 8. Exports continue to be labour-intensive despite the adjustments made for human capital: the adjusted capital intensity of the export sector, relative to the import sector, is 0.8586, so that exports still continue to -7- be labour-intensive (as shown in Table 8). toij-ards However, the skill factor works widening the difference in the capital-labour ratios in the two groups: as Table 8 records, the physical capital intensity of the export sector (indicated by index L^) is higher, at 0.9539, than the adjusted capital-intensity at 0.8586. than imports: a Exports thus appear as less skill-intensive finding which is also confirmed by the alternative presen- tation of the same results in terms of index L„ in Table 8 which shows exports to have a lower ratio (than imports) of human capital to unskilled wages and by index L which shows again that exports have a lower ratio of human capital to physical capital. IV: BBKY vs. RM Results The preceding two sections thus indicate that Indian exports continue to be labour-intensive by either adjustment. On the other hand, the BBKY method shows exports to be skill- intensive whereas the RM method shows the opposite. The latter contradiction is to be explained partly on statistical and partly on conceptual grounds. Statistically, the differences are likely to follow from the occasional differences in the sources used (see Appendix) in view of the differences in the kinds of data required and also from the con- sequent, occasional differences in the dates for which data have been available for the calculations. At a conceptual level, however, three important points need to be made: (1) The BBKY measure uses per- labour-unit calculations whereas the RM measure uses unskilled wages: this could lead to differences insofar as the unskilled wage per man differs among sectors in the calculations. (2) The problem of profit estimation is pertinent: in some cases, we had to deal with losses, which we treated as zero profits, whereas the corresponding sectors in the BBKY type calculation, based on the capital- stock approach, carried positive capital estimates. (3) The general problem of profit rate variations among sectors is also pertinent, just the same as the question of differences in unskilled wage rates among the different sectors. These differences lead to differential ranking of individual sectors by their skill-indices, depending on which skill-index is chosen. In Table 9(a), we have computed four alternative skill-intensity indices for each sector, two based on each of the BBKY and RM approaches. indices are: Y^ x^'hlch takes the ratio of the capitalised values of human to physical capital and Y which takes the ratio of the capitalised value of human capital to quantity of labour employment. are: ^ The two BBKY-type The two RM-type indices which takes the ratio of incomes accruing to human and physical capital and Y which takes the ratio of incomes accruing to human capital and (unskilled) labour. Using the four series given above indicating sectoral human capital intensity computed by different methods, we have calculated Rank Correlation 6 [ coefficients employing the formula: p = 1 - Correlation coefficient), due to Spearman. d^2 (where p = the Rank n(n2-l) The results of our computations are given in Table 9(b). It \Till be observed that series correlated with series (Y ) , ("^ttt^' ^^^ ^^IV^ ^^^ ""~ Thus, the reversed ranking of Indian imports and exports by their skill-intensltv, to be attributable, C^-rx). at least in part, in the BBKY and RM exercises, appears to the fact that the relative skill- two methods, intensities of individual sectors happen to be dissimilar under the . -9- Nonetlieless, we are inclined to accept the RM results because the capital stock data, which underlie the BBKY exercises, are (as everywhere) On the other hand, we ought to admit that the superior fairly unreliable. plausibility of the RM results needs to be qualified on three empirical and theoretical grounds: i) As we noted 5 when presenting the BBKY-type results in our earlier paper (1967, p. 140) "...the weight of plantations, mining and textiles in Indian exports, for our period, is very considerable; and these sectors have a high percentage of 'skilled' workers. On the other hand, the overall skill content, in labour, in import competing activities such as iron and steel and light engineering industries (many of i-zhich have a large base in the small- scale sector in India) turns out to be lower: the growth of more complex technology in these industries, involving perhaps greater overall skill levels, must have come in the period beyond that covered by our wage rates and oc- cupational data, which generally span the period 1955-1959." ii) "...it is important to remember that human capital and other capital may be substitutes rather than complements. Thus, it may not be paradoxical at all to find that skill- intensiveness is not directly related to capital- intensity." (1967, p. 140) Hence, the fact that exports are labour-intensive may be consistent with their being skills-intensive as well. iii) Finally, since we do not distinguish between different kinds of skills, it may well be that India, owing to massive expansion of college education, has an abundance of semi- skilled labour and thus her exports are skill- intensive. Clearly, therefore, more work will be necessary to examine each sector's skill-intensiveness more intensively, through micro-studies via fitting of production functions which, at a minimum, explicitly introduce skilled labour as a separate factor of production, to distinguish between the two alternative hypotheses -10- V : The Lary Method The last alternative method used by us related to the calculation (a la Lary) of the value added per employee as the index of capltal- intensity. Table 10 presents these calculations by sector. When multiplied into the production-requirements columns (3) and (4) of Table relative capital-intensity of exports as .6692. 7, they yield the This confirms again that exports are labour-intensive in relation to imports, in consonance with the Heckscher-Ohlin theory. .

(b) Assumption I is more conservative. It takes direct costs of the first year of secondary school to be 12 per cent of the earnings of a primary school graduate aged 14; of the second year of secondary school to be 16 per cent of the earnings of a primary school graduate aged 15; of the third year, to be 20 per cent of the earnings of a primary school graduate aged 16; and of the fourth year, to be 24 per cent of the earnings of a primary school graduate aged 17. For the successive years of higher education, the direct costs are taken to be 30, 35, 40, 45, 50 and 50 per cent of the earnings of a secondary school graduate aged 18, 19, 20, 21, 22 and 23, respectively. , TABLE 5A Human Capital Estimates by Sector for Exports Rs. 1 Output Weights Employment Weighti3 Sector No. (1) R = 10% R = 15Z R = 17% R = 10% R = 15% R - 17% (2) (3) (4) (5) (6) (7) 1 12589192 8392793 7405407 11333476 7555646 6666747 18810176 12540117 11064809 18810176 12540117 11064809 5 43611568 29074378 25653864 39976552 26651033 23515618 6 2857525 1905017 1680897 2413400 1608933 1419647 7 2350148 1566765 1382440 2056813 1371209 1209890 8 9197095 6131397 5410056 8673806 5782537 5102239 9 6062738 4041825 3566316 5544767 3696511 3261628 10 561603 374402 330355 378350 252233 222559 11 2015959 1343973 1185858 1940578 1293719 1141516 12 17307491 11538326 10180877 16635869 11090580 9785806 13 18753672 12502446 11031572 15508328 10338887 9122548 14 32737280 21824853 19257224 13176644 8784427 7750965 15 57869262 38579506 34040742 59424651 3961643 34955676 16 132468 88312 77922 131404 87603 77292 17 2163114 1442076 1272420 1446747 964498 851028 18 7701696 5134464 4530409 9400320 6266880 5529600 2 3 TABLE (1) (2) (3) 5A (cont.)

The skill differential, in turn, was the difference between the actual wage paid and the return to "simple" labour. The sectoral figures were built up from industry estimates, using (alternatively) output and employment as weights. In sectors 1 (Agriculture) and 3 (Animal husbandry) all labour was treated as unskilled and hence these sectors were omitted from the computation. Sectors 32 (Construction) and 33 (Residential property) were also omitted, as they did not participate in foreign trade. For sectors 2, A througli 19 and 28 the wage rates were obtained from the Occupational Wage Survey Reports (15) of the Pay Commission (4). (4), (16) and (17) and from the Report For sectors 27 the Report of the Pay Commission the Report of the Railway Board (18) and the Report of the Department of Posts and Telegraphs (1) were consulted. For sector nos. 29, 30, 31 and 34, for want of the relevant data, data from the Report of the Posts and Telegraphs Department (1) was used as representative. Similarly, for the small scale sectors, 20 through 26, representative figures had to be used. The average of the engineering and chemical sectors (numbers 8 and 9) was used for the Defense industries (sector 35), and the average of sectors 8, 9, 11 and 12 was used for the large-scale unclassified sector (number 36). 2 APPENDIX— Sectio n III In this section factor incomes were used as proxies. Thus, profits represented physical capital, wages of unskilled labour represented labour and the skill differential represented human capital. Next, profit was defined as non-wage income (i.e., value added net of depreciation minus wages and salaries) minus the imputed cost of management, tax provision, interest paid out and the establishment expenses. The es- timates of these expenses were obtained from the balance sheet data of companies, published by the Reserve Bank of India (5). The return to simple labour was obtained as a product of the wage-rate for unskilled labour (as given in the earlier Bhagwati-Bharadwaj study (1967)) the number of labourers and the number of working days. The skill-differential thus defined as total wages and salaries less the return to unskilled v-ras labour. The input-output table of the Indian economy (10) was the main source of data for sectors 1, 2, 4, 5, 20 through 26, 28, 29, 31, and 34. Representa- tive figures were used for sectors 3 (same as that of 1), 35 (average of 8 and 9) and 36 (average of (3) tors 8, 9, 11 and 12) as in the previous section. The CMI and the SSMI (12) formed the basis of the computation in the case of sec6 through 19. llie Report o f the Rai lway Boar d (18) and the Report o f the De partment of Posts and Teleg raphs (I) were used for sector number 27 and the Stat istical Tables R elating to Banks (20) and the S tatistica l Statements Relating to the Coopera tive Movement (19) and the Indian Insurance Year (7) were consulted for the data in respect of sector number 30. and 33 were omitted as they did not participate in foreign trade. B ook Sectors 32 3 APPENDIX— Section IV In this section value added per employee was computed by dividing the value added figure by the number of employees; sectoral estimates being obtained from industry figures by using output as weights. In the case of sector numbers 1, 2, 4, 5, 20 through 26, 28 through 31, and 34 data relating to value added were taken from the Input-Output table (10). In the case of sector number 3 (animal husbandry), the coefficient was assumed to be the same as in that of sector number 1 (agriculture) no employment figures were available for this sector. 19, value added and employment figures Manufacturers (3). (18) , as For sectors 6 through were taken from the Census of Indian For sector number 27 the Reports of the Railway Board and the Report of the Posts and Telegraphs Department (1) were consulted. Data pertaining to employment for sectors 1 and 28 were taken from the Report of the Census of India 1951 (2), those for sectors 2 and 29 from the Indian Labour Statistics, 1959 (8) , those for sector 4 from the Mineral Production of India, 1954 (11), for sectors 20 through 26 from the National Sample Survey Reports No. 42 and 43 (13) (14) and for sectors 30 and 34 from NCAER's Growth Wit hou t Inflation (6). For sectors 35 and 36 representative figures, as in the case of sections II and III, were used. Similarly, sectors 32 and 33 were omitted as they did not participate in foreign trade. .
