摘要

A time series analysis is conducted with the 17-year macro statistics (1992—2008) of Three Gorges reservoir area (migration area specifically) in Yunyang Reservoir, Chongqing city. By doing so, the paper tried to investigate the relationship between human capital and economy development in Yunyang reservoir area from the perspective of human capital. A composite evaluation indicator system of human capital for Yunyang is formed on the basis of previous research, according to which the regional human capital evaluation model and human capital index (H) is obtained by factor a-nalysis and regression analysis. Furthermore, a mathematical model is built through correlation Analysis between H (as well as three key elements) and the regional per capita GDP, which make it possible to provide quantitative advices on the policy decision-making with respect to the effect of human capital investment on economic development in Yunyang reservoir.
