Outline of Final Research Achievements |
This study discusses a model concerning intergenerational bequests and human capital investment. In the presence of credit market imperfection and liquidity constraint to human capital investment or education, income distribution can be divided into two groups: the poor and the rich. A policy that taxes on the rich’s labor income and reduces the cost of education can be thought of as a measure to prevent the income distribution from diverging. The policy measure induces ‘double effects,’ and thus differs from a conventional redistributive policy which just transfers the income from the rich to the poor. One is the direct income increase effect by reducing the cost of education, and the other is the income increase effect by lessening the liquidity constraint which originates from credit market imperfection.
