On the role of inequalities and public education expenditures in human capital investment : a theoretical approach.

Mimoun, Mohamed Ben - Maison des Sciences Économiques, Université Paris 1 … - 2004

We show in this paper that greater inequality in the distribution of wealth implies lower investment in higher education levels and lower aggregate income. Liquidity constraints and indivisibility in human capital investment result in the long-run in multiple equilibria with poverty traps....

Natural resources and the wealth of nations in a globalized world economy.

Cervellati, Matteo; Fortunato, Piergiuseppe - Maison des Sciences Économiques, Université Paris 1 … - 2004

On the equilibrium in a discrete-time Lucas Model with endogenous leisure.

Boldea, Marius Valentin - Maison des Sciences Économiques, Université Paris 1 … - 2006

In this paper I study a discrete-time version of the Lucas model with the endogenous leisure but without physical capital. Under standard conditions I prove that the optimal human capital sequence is increasing. If the instantaneous utility function and the production function are Cobb-Douglas,...

Random of Balanced Matching: an Equilibrium Search Model with Endogenous Capital and Two-Sided Search.

Robin, J.-M.; Roux, S. - 1998

In this paper we extend the equilibrium search models of Burdett and Mortensen (1998), Burdett and Vishwanath (1988) and Mortensen and Vishwanath (1994) to allow for endogenous matching and endogenous capital determination. In our model, in order to attract a positive measure of workers, firms...
