description This paper shows that the effect of vocational education on economic growth appears to be greater than that of university education. Additionally, the reversed effect of economic growth on vocational education seems to be stronger than on university education. ► We find a two-way causality between two levels of education and economic growth. ► University and vocational education each have a positive impact on growth. ► Vocational education has a greater impact on growth than does university education. ► The reverse causality is also positive with stronger effect on vocational education. ► The results are robust for alternative models and datasets.
