Formation spécifique ou générale ? Implications en terme de croissance
Abstracts
The purpose of the paper is to study the accumulation of human capital on the life-cycle in an OLG framework. The agents are supposed to live for two periods : in the first they are going to school, and, in the second, they work and can be trained through on-the-job training. We point out that, according to the preferences of the agents, education and on-the-job training are complement or substitute. The nature of on-the-job training acts on the intertemporal equilibrium, and we show that general training is more benefit for growth that specific training.
