Abstract: We study education’s role in helping lower-income countries to develop new industries. To do so, we measure changes in the export mixes of 49 countries between 1995 and 2015 along each of three dimensions, and ask whether differences in these measured changes can be attributed to educational differences between countries. As predicted by an economic complexity approach, countries were much less likely to develop comparative advantage in products they were not already familiar with from recent experience producing similar products – but countries with more educated working-age populations were substantially more likely to acquire comparative advantage in unfamiliar products. This is consistent with educated workers having greater ability to translate tacit knowledge across applications. This role is most strongly associated with primary education when transitioning to peripheral products, and with secondary education when transitioning to core products. In contrast, there is slight evidence that high education quality helped countries to obtain comparative advantage in more complex products. We also find no evidence that countries that increased education levels faster moved into more education-intensive products – as expected under a Heckscher-Ohlin-Viner model of trade patterns. The results are robust to correcting for many institutional, infrastructural and FDI-related variables.
