Thesis (Ph.D.)--New York University, 2004.

This dissertation studies the relationship between income distribution and human capital accumulation. Chapter 1 studies the dynamics of income distribution when households can choose either public or private schooling for their children. I construct a dynamic political economy model to compare different educational regimes (purely public, purely private and the mixed regime). Simulations reveal that the mixed educational regime generates the highest mean income in the long run, when the variance of ability is large. Using the model, I examine the effect of private educational vouchers on welfare.

520 $a This dissertation studies the relationship between income distribution and human capital accumulation. Chapter 1 studies the dynamics of income distribution when households can choose either public or private schooling for their children. I construct a dynamic political economy model to compare different educational regimes (purely public, purely private and the mixed regime). Simulations reveal that the mixed educational regime generates the highest mean income in the long run, when the variance of ability is large. Using the model, I examine the effect of private educational vouchers on welfare.
520 $a Chapter 2 studies the relationship between income distribution and the phenomenon of child labor in an economic context in which households can choose either to send children to school or to work and public education policy is determined by majority vote. I show that if income is distributed so unequally that there are many poor households, the majority does not support public education, resulting in widespread child labor.
520 $a Chapter 3 studies the effects of trade liberalization on growth and long-run global income inequality, focusing on the effects of such policy on domestic income distribution. Using a two-country dynamic trade model, I show that the size of the long-run income gap between the two countries depends on the difference in domestic income inequality when they open up to trade. Moreover, I show that income redistribution in one country may increase long-run income per capita of its trading partner if it is undertaken in steady state, while the opposite is true if the policy is undertaken during transition.
520 $a Chapter 4 contains an empirical study of the transmission mechanism of human capital within households with a particular focus on the gender roles of both parents and children. Using U.S. data, we find evidence of gender specialization: maternal education has a larger effect on daughters than on sons, while the same is true for paternal education and sons. We also find a significantly larger degree of gender specialization in households in which the mother was employed, relative to households where the mother did not work outside the home.
