The use of formal education in Denmark 1980-1992

Danish factor income content in exports of goods and service excl. coal, oil and gas amounted
to 71.6 billion DKK in 1980 and 176.1 billion DKK in 1992, corresponding to 21.2% and
22.6% of current gross factor income respectively. This factor income remunerated factor
services embedded in Danish export, mainly labour and capital but not natural energy
resources because coal, oil, and gas were excluded from the calculation. Labour and capital
services embedded in the production of coal, oil and gas are also excluded, but as they are
small, this is not important for this analysis. Danish export industries compete for productive
resources like educated labour with domestic uses of the same resources like public
employment or employment in sheltered sectors of the economy. Resources in the Danish
exports of course also compete with other countries resources in export industries for the same
international product markets. As can be seen from table 3 Danish resources improved their
export position with 1.4 percent point from 1980 to 1992.
