Abstract: The present paper expands this model by including the intrinsic value of education as a motivation behind getting education. I find that the argument in favour of dual income taxation is strengthened. A comprehensive proportional income tax works as a tax subsidy on human capital investments, and it reduces the price of education as a consumption good.
