The article elaborates and tests the hypothesis that there are different types of academic \nknowledge that exert different effects on economic growth. Knowledge items \ndiffer with respect to the specificities of both their generation and exploitation processes. \nBuilding upon these bases, the article articulates the crucial distinction \nbetween knowledge as a capital good, necessary to produce all the other goods at \nlower costs and knowledge as a final good that affects directly the utility of consumers. \nWe use Organisation for Economic Co-operation and Development data \nabout the disciplinary composition of the research and development expenses in \nhigher education and total factor productivity growth in the years 1998-2008 in 13 \ncountries to test the hypothesis. The results confirm the strong differences in the contribution \nof each discipline to growth accounting
