Human capital investment and globalization in extortionary states

Author:
Andersson, F  Konrad, KA  


Journal:
JOURNAL OF PUBLIC ECONOMICS


Issue Date:

Abstract(summary):

This paper considers education investment and public education policy in closed and open economies with an extortionary government. The extortionary government in a closed economy chooses an education policy in order to overcome a hold-up problem of time-consistent taxation similar to benevolent governments. The two types of government differ in their education policies if highly productive labor is mobile. Extortionary governments' incentives for a policy that stimulates higher private education efforts vanish; instead they have incentives to prevent individuals from mobility-increasing education investment. Tax competition therefore reduces hold-up problems of time-consistent extortionary taxation, but introduces other distortions that reduce workers' utility. (C) 2002 Elsevier B.V.
