With regard to the significance and high proportion of Iranian manufacturing industries' export in non_oil export basket and their impact on balanced economic growth in Iran, it is essential that effective factors on the manufacturing industries' export be investigated. This paper investigates the impact of human capital on the export of Iranian industries, using a panel data set of 2-digit ISIC manufacturing industries at Iranian provinces level, over the period 2000-2007.
For that purpose, we use the number of workers with higher education degree (as a proxy for human capital) to examine the effect of human capital on the export of the manufacturing industries. The results show that human capital, manufacturing value added and nominal exchange rate have positive and significant effects on the export of the manufacturing industries. In addition, the domestic demand of manufacturing goods and terms of trade have significant negative effects on these industries export. Therefore, any effort to expand the higher education is highly recommended.
