| Research Abstract |
We use an overlapping generations framework to analyze the effect of international income inequality by formulating consumption habit and human capital one. As a result, we can derive the following two results :(i) when the country has a strong aspiration for parents' consumption level, international trade can cause the decreasing income level per capita ;(ii) starting too low human capital leads the country to a poverty trap, because an strong aspiration for high human capital create over-educational investment.
