本文通过强调教育政策被忽视的一个功能,重新审视了教育融资制度的差异如何影响GDP:它影响从工作分配中获得的收益的大小。当生产率更高的工作需要更多技能时,私人资助的教育可以通过增加受过高等教育的人的可用性,通过工作和技能之间的匹配来提高生产率。这不同于标准的论点,即公共资助的教育通过平等教育机会来增加人力资本总量。研究表明,如果就业机会在生产率上有很大的变化,教育政策可能面临严重的效率-公平权衡。
This paper re‐examines how differences in systems for financing education influence GDP by highlighting a neglected function of education policy: it affects the magnitude of gains from job assignment. When more productive jobs demand more skill, privately financed education can increase productivity gains from matching between jobs and skill by increasing the availability of highly educated people. This differs from the standard argument that publicly financed education increases the total amount of human capital by equalizing educational opportunities. It is shown that if job opportunities have large variations in productivity, education policy may face a serious efficiency–equity trade‐off.
