Risky human capital accumulation with endogenous skill premium
Tóm tắt
I investigate the welfare properties of a model with risky human capital accumulation, imperfect substitution between skill types and endogenous skill premium. I show that whenever the insurance markets are incomplete, pecuniary externalities render the competitive equilibrium constrained inefficient with a sub-optimal level of human capital.
