| Abstract | The purpose of this paper is to examine the role played by built heritages
and cultural environments, alongside other locational factors, in explaining the
growth of human capital in Sweden. We distinguish between urban, natural and
cultural qualities as different sources of regional attractiveness and estimate their
influence on the observed growth of individuals with at least three years of higher
education during 2001–2010. Neighborhood-level data are used, and unobserved
heterogeneity and spatial dependencies are modeled by employing random effects
estimations and an instrumental variable approach. Our findings indicate that the
local supply of built heritages and cultural environments explain a significant part of
human capital growth in Sweden. Results suggest that these types of cultural heritages
are important place-based resources with a potential to contribute to improved
regional attractiveness and growth. |
