Abstract: |
This paper incorporates an information
accumulation model of schooling into the standard model of international
trade. This is done in a simple overlapping generations general
equilibrium framework where workers make choice regarding the level of
information accumulation and countries differ in terms of their
endowment of educational capital stock. As predicted by the
Heckscher-Ohlin-Samuelson model, each country exports the good that uses
its abundant factor more intensively. Free trade encourages schooling in
a capital abundant country and may lead to a factor intensity reversal. |
