Bibliography Website: https://www.usc.gal/economet/ahg11.htm Guisan, M.C.; Aguayo, E.; Exposito,P. Education and International Development, 1960-2000 4 Prologue EE11 is a book of the Series EE, published by the AHG with the cooperation of the Euro-American Association of Economic Development Studies (EAAEDS). It includes references to econometric studies, published by our research team for 1975-2005, with samples of the period 1960-2000. Chapter 1 analyses the evolution of World Production, Population and Production per capita for the 20th century and indicators of Education and Production by sector in 21 areas of the World in years 1980 and 1999. It also cites several international models, published by our research team, relating Education and Development for the second half of that century. Chapter 2 presents the estimation of several equation for Gross Domestic Product per capita, real Wage and Employment with a panel of 6 OECD countries (France, Germany, Italy, Spain, UK and USA) for the period 19602000, and the analysis of causality between Consumption and Production per capita, with a sample of 625 observatios of 25 OECD countries in 25 years. Chapter 3 includes references to studies of production and employment by sector in OECD countries: Agriculture, Industry, Building and Services. Chapter 4 analyzes the results of several studies of Education and Development in Latin American countries: model by Guisan(1984), presented at the EADI Conference at Madrid, the study by Guisan, Aguayo and Neira(1997), at the EADI Conference at Paris, the model by Guisand et al(1997) on Centroamerica, and the studies by Neira et al(1997) and (1998). We also cite 3 studies on regional development in Latin American countries. Chapter 5 includes contents related with regional development in Europe and the USA for the period 1960-2000. Since year 2001 we have published many electronic and printed journals, books, reports and documents, on international development, which are available at Ideas.Repec and at: https://www.usc.gal/economet/eaat.htm EE12 is a book scheduled to appear in year 2023 including international studies, of econometric models of develelopment, published by our research team with samples of the period 2001-2023.

Education and International Development, 1960-2000 95 CHAPTER 5 A COMPARISON OF REGIONAL DEVELOPMENT IN THE EUROPEAN UNION AND THE UNITED STATES, 1960-2000, MARIA-CARMEN GUISAN 5.1. Interregional models of European and OECD countries, 1960-2000 Guisan and Aguayo(2001), in Chapter 1 of the book EE5 of this series, present an overview of 11 Regional Models of the United States, for the period 1960-200, including contributions by Klein, Glickman , Ballard and other authors. Besides we include a list of 9 interregional models with samples of several European countries, and interregional model of only one European country, as well as a list of Doctoral Disserations on Regional Development. Guisan and Aguayo(2022), in Chapter 2 of the book EE9, cite several interregional models of Europe, and other areas, published by Guisan and Frias, Guisan and Cancelo, Guisan and Aguayo, and other authors many of them corresponding to the period 1980-2000, They include an Annex with links to 24 interregional models of Europe and other areas. Our studies analyze real production, employment, wages, human capital (including Education and Research) and quality of life. The great development of several countries and regions of the OECD is explained by their high levels of education, industrial development and quality of social organization. Guisan(2023), in RSES, includes an analysis of of development and population in large regions of the United States for 1960-2021 and presents some comparisons with European countries and regions. Here we highlight some of the main conclussions of that comparison, for the period 1960-2000. Other interesting studies on OECD countries are the study gy Belot and Ederveen(20212) on cultural barriers to migration movements among OECD countries, and the paper by Cavaleri, Luu and Caus(2021), published by the OECD, which present the results of interregional gravity models for each of 14 OECD countries, with different periods for each of them: in the United States for 1997-2018, but in some countries only for years after 2002 or 2008. In Guisan(2023) we expect to include references to other studies of our research team on regional development of European and American countries for the period 2001-2023. ----- Maria-Carmen Guisan, Professor of Econometrics for 1987-2017 and Honorary Professor for 2017-2022.

Population evolution in EU5 and Large US Regions for 1960-2000 Population of a group of 5 major European countries (EU5): France, Germany, Italy, Spain and the United Kingdom) , increased by 46 million for the period 1960-2000, which represents a 18.3% Population growth. The sum of Net immigration of the EU5 countries, having into account data published by Guisan(2005), amounted approximately to 12.5 for 1960-2000 (including internal migration among countries of UE5), very close to the figure from World Bank of 12.493 million. The total increase of Population in EU5 was 46 million and the increase due to natural growth of population was around 33.5 million. Net immigration amounted approximately to a 27% of the total increase of Population of EU5. Table 5.1 shows data of EU5 countries and table 5.2 of Regions of the US. Table 5.1.

The highest increase, among EU5 countries for 1960-2000. corresponded to France, Spain and Germany, and the lowest to the UK and Italy. The highest percentages of population growth for the period corresponded in France was 33% and in Spain 22%. The average percentage of Population growth, in the area EU5, was 18%. Density of Populaltion in EU5 increased from 123 inhabitants per square Km in year 1960 to 145 in year 2000. Population Density per square km in year 2000 was higher in EU5 (151) than in the United States (29) and in the World (46).

Note: CD1 to CD9 are the Census Divisions. Population of the BEA Regions increased by 101 million pepole, for the period 1960-2000, which represents 56 % Population growth. Aproximately 41% of the increase (41 million= came from foreign countries (with figures Guisan, M.C.; Aguayo, E.; Exposito,P. Education and International Development, 1960-2000 98 of the World Bank for 1961-2000), and the 59% (60 million) corresponded to domestic increase of Population. Density of Population in the United States evolved from 19 inhabitants per square Km in year 1960 to 29 in year 2000., below World average (47). The highest % of Population growth corresponded to the Regions with the low Density. Franklin(2003) analyzes the changes of the share of regions on total Population. 5.3.
