Answer to Question 1

They are similar in the sense that rates of return can be calculated for each form of capital so one can compare these and make a choice as to which type of investment to undertake. Rates of return to education are provided in Table 8.1 . Of course, there is a market for physical capital where it can be bought/sold but no market for human capital.
