The role of intelligence and human capital on the production efficiency of products with high technology and economic complexity

High-tech industries are a factor of competitive advantage between countries.Technology is knowledge, and the economic complexity of a society is dependent on the high amount of knowledge of the people of that society, which can be seen in the products produced by them.People with knowledge and skills or in other words human capital interact with each other and combine their knowledge to produce a product (productive output).A reliable indicator of human capital is intelligence, which is also related to innovation The purpose of this study is to investigate the infrastructure of national IQ, innovation, educational attainment, nutrition which is supposed to explain part of the efficiency of nations in the production of high-tech. For this purpose, quantitative indicators of national IQ and nutrition infrastructures are considered as primary inputs in the first stage, and innovation and educational attainment are considered as outputs for primary inputs. In the second stage, innovation and educational attainment as input and production of high technology as the final output of a network model, of the type of data envelopment analysis series for 23 selected countries are considered. The data were collected from official international sources. The results show the differences between the efficiency of selected countries in producing high-tech products and also estimate the weight of each infrastructure. The findings show that the highest weight / importance is related to national IQ and nutrition infrastructure, which can be achieved by upgrading these two infrastructures in the studied countries to maximize the production of high technology.
