本文建立了一个异质主体模型，研究了贸易和教育成本对个体教育产出及其总体分布的影响。在两国模型中，贸易对个人教育选择具有非单调影响，并导致两国的教育和就业两极分化。我们使用这个模型来评估降低教育成本的效果。在封闭经济中，教育成本的降低对职业选择没有影响。然而，在开放经济中，它在母国创造了一个扩大的中产阶级，而在其贸易伙伴中则发生了相反的情况。
A model of heterogeneous agents is built to study the effects of trade and educational costs in shaping individual educational outcomes and their aggregate distribution. In a two‐country model, trade has nonmonotonic impacts on individual education choices and causes education and job polarization for both countries. We use this model to evaluate the effects of reductions in educational costs. A reduction in educational cost has no impact on occupational choice in a closed economy. In the open economy, however, it creates an expanded middle class in the home country, whereas the opposite happens in its trading partner.
