本文研究了最优教育和税收政策如何依赖于人力资本的风险属性。人力资本投资的一个关键特征是它们是否增加或减少工资风险。在一个基准模型中,它表明,这一功能单独决定是否受约束的最优分配的特点是一个积极的或消极的教育溢价。在同一模型中,正的时际楔是最佳的。这些结果的稳健性通过两个概括来探讨:教育的不可观察性和消费的不可观察性。最后,政策,实施受约束的有效分配。
This paper considers how optimal education and tax policy depends on the risk properties of human capital. A key feature of human capital investments is whether they increase or decrease wage risk. In a benchmark model it is shown that this feature alone determines whether a constrained optimal allocation should be characterized by a positive or a negative education premium. In the same model a positive intertemporal wedge is optimal. The robustness of these results is explored in two generalizations: nonobservability of education and nonobservability of consumption. Finally, policies that implement the constrained efficient allocations are considered.
