Efficient education policy : a second-order elasticity rule
Richter, Wolfram F. - 2010
Assuming a two-period model with endogenous choices of labour, education, and saving, efficient education policy is characterized for a Ramsey-like scenario in which the government is constrained to use linear instruments. It is shown that education should be effectively subsidized if, and only...

Motivation, resources and the organization of the school system
Albornoz, Facundo; Berlinski, Samuel G.; Cabrales, Antonio - 2016
This paper studies a model where student effort and talent interact with parental and teachers' investments, as well as with school system resources. The model is rich, yet sufficiently stylized to provide novel implications. It can show, for example, that an improvement in parental outside...

Delayed graduation and university dropout : a review of theoretical approaches
Aina, Carmen; Baici, Eliana; Casalone, Giorgia; … - 2019
This paper surveys the theoretical approaches used in the literature to study the phenomenon of delayed graduation and university dropout. The classical human capital model does not contemplate failure, which the amended human capital model does. Delayed graduation and university dropout are two...

On the optimal allocation of students when peer effects are at work: tracking vs. mixing
Hidalgo-Hidalgo, Marisa - In: SERIEs : Journal of the Spanish Economic Association 2 (2011) 1, pp. 31-52
The belief that both the behavior and outcomes of students are affected by their peers is important in shaping education policy. I analyze two polar education systems -tracking and mixing- and propose several criteria for their comparison. I find that tracking is the system that maximizes...

Taxing human capital : a good idea
Braun, Christoph - 2010
This paper studies a Ramsey optimal taxation model with human capital in an infinite-horizon setting. Contrary to Jones, Manuelli, and Rossi (1997), the human capital production function does not include the current stock of human capital as a production factor. As a result, the return to human...
