  ABSTRACT: This paper explores the relationship between human capital spending and non-oil sector growth in one direction only: from spending to non-oil sector growth. Using the theoretical framework developed by Knowles and Owen (1995), this study shows that spending does not influence non-oil sector growth. This result was obtained by estimating an Autoregressive Distributed Lag (ARDL) process. The data used were extracted from the World Bank’s databases and are annual (1996 to 2018). We used several indicators of development in the world and a governance indicator among those designed by Kaufmann et al. (2005). From a theoretical point of view, this result does not support the theory of endogenous growth. On the other hand, it is an empirical contribution to the literature that exists to date on the causes of non-oil sector growth in Congo. Moreover, an economic policy implication has been formulated on the basis of this result.
