Human capital productivity and uncertainty
Résumé
Several policies or interventions have been implemented in developing countries with the
ultimate goal of improving educational outcomes and human capital. While lots of empirical
studies have pointed to mixed results of these interventions, the role of uncertainty arising
from the state of the nature about educational environment, household characteristics,
along- side the efficiency of these interventions still lack economic mechanism. This paper
aims at developing a theoretical framework that links policy interventions to educational
outcomes. We characterize optimal policies and determine the conditions for enhancing
social welfare. We also study the optimal growth of the economy under uncertainty and
population heterogeneity when human capital is produced and used in the education
sector. We show that the growth rate of the unskilled population has a direct impact on the
growth of human and physical capitals.
