Endogenous education duration, fertility choice, and mortality : a framework for optimal population policy

Palokangas, Tapio K. - 2026

This paper characterizes optimal education and population policies within a continuous-time overlapping generations (OLG) framework where fertility, schooling duration, and health expenditures are endogenous. In this model, mortality risk is driven by a negative congestion effect from population...
