On some undesirable consequences of education and growth

Pierre Cahuc and Fabien Postel-Vinay

CEPREMAP Working Papers (Couverture Orange) from CEPREMAP

Abstract: This paper exposes a simple endogenous growth model with human capital accumulation in which competition in the educational system can lead to fast output growth with a simultaneous decline in welfare along a balanced growth path. This illustrates the idea that satisfaction is not straightforwardly related to economic prosperity.
