讲座题目：public education and population control policies in a model of the quality-quantity tradeoff

摘要：in this paper, we develop an overlapping generations model in which parents jointly make the decisions of fertility and children’s education, and use it to evaluate the impact of public education and population control policies on economic development and income inequality. we argue that public education and population control have important interactions in this quality-quantity framework. we find that population control in general increases gdp growth while the effect of public education is ambiguous. in addition, both policies could reduce income inequality. lastly, we calibrate our model to the chinese economy, and use the calibrated model to quantitatively evaluate the joint impact of china’s one child policy and nine-year compulsory education policy. we find that they together account for a substantial fraction of china’s high growth rate in the past decades.
