Abstract: This paper seeks to answer the question of how Africa economies can sustain growth. The endogenous growth model developed by Romer (1986) and Lucas (1988) has focused on the role of human capital and by modification, knowledge capital as a main source of increasing returns and divergence in growth rates between developed and underdeveloped countries. Can African countries sustain their economic growth through intensifying human and knowledge capital as productive inputs? The paper provides an empirical test of the endogenous growth model in particular, the "Rival" human capital models of Romer (1990) and non-rival "idea‟ models of Lucas (1988), for Africa economies using a panel of Africa data on human and knowledge capital stocks. The study employed............
