| Research Abstract |
As an engine of economic growth as well as in the distribution of income that is the fruits of economic growth, the role of human capital accumulation has been increasing. Hence, constructing a growth model with human and physical capital accumulation, we have provided a policy rule that ensures the optimal resource allocation between human and physical capital. Also, we have pointed out that a skill-premium puzzle, which is characterized by an increase in income inequality withincreased skill-labor supply, takes place when the cost of human capital investment (or skill-acquisition cost) changes with technical progress. In addition, it is shown that an increase in uncertainty on human capital investment costs tends to fix inequality over generations.
