On the role of job assignment in a comparison of education systems

Katsuya Takii; Ryuichi Tanaka

This paper re‐examines how differences in systems for financing education influence GDP by highlighting a neglected function of education policy: it affects the magnitude of gains from job assignment. When more productive jobs demand more skill, privately financed education can increase productivity gains from matching between jobs and skill by increasing the availability of highly educated people. This differs from the standard argument that publicly financed education increases the total amount of human capital by equalizing educational opportunities. It is shown that if job opportunities have large variations in productivity, education policy may face a serious efficiency–equity trade‐off. Ce memoire reexamine comment des differences dans le financement des systemes d’education influencent le PIB en mettant en lumiere une fonction negligee de la politique educationnelle – la magnitude des gains qui decoulent de l’assignation des emplois. Quand des emplois plus productifs reclament des habiletes additionnelles, un systeme d’education finance par le prive peut accroitre les gains de productivite derives de l’arrimage des emplois et des habiletes en accroissant le nombre de personnes hautement qualifiees. Voila qui differe de l’argument conventionnel que l’education financee par le secteur public accroit le capital humain total en egalisant les occasions de s’instruire. On montre que si les emplois sont associes a de fortes variations dans la productivite, la politique educationnelle peut fort bien etre confrontee a une serieuse relation d’equivalence (trade‐off) entre efficacite et equite.
