We examine economic growth, inequality and education when the wellspring of growth is the formation of human capital … into a condition of continuous growth through a program of taxes and transfers. Temporary inequality is a necessary … continuous growth at an asymptotically steady rate as an alternative. We show that a society can escape from the poverty trap …

misspecifications resulting from the omission of spatial linkages in standard empirical models of economic growth. Our dataset consists … of TFP estimates for 73 countries over the period 1960-2000, and we find that TFP growth rates and levels are positively … the Nelson and Phelps (1966) model shows that the impact of being located close to a country with high TFP growth rates is …

general-equilibrium mapping from tariffs to household inequality measures. This also yields predictions for linkages between … tariffs, development level, and observed household inequality. Working with a new dataset, we then examine crosscountry … variation in inequality with respect to import protection. Results are consistent with predictions of the factor-intensity model …

This paper studies how linear tax and education policy should optimally respond to skill-biased technical change (SBTC … effects due to wage-(de)compression, and iii) education distortions. Analytically, the effect of SBTC on these three … distributional losses, and it increases education distortions. Also, SBTC lowers optimal education subsidies, since SBTC generates …
