Abstract

Dans ce papier, nous construisons un modèle de décision dans lequel le système de formation produit à la fois des compétences productives (capital humain) mais aussi de l'information sur la véritable productivité des individus (signal). Nous réévaluons dans ce nouveau cadre théorique, les effets de l'incertitude sur la demande optimale d'éducation. Nous montrons qu'avec l'introduction d'effets de signal, l'éducation peut être utilisée comme un moyen de couverture face aux risques, et en particulier contre le risque de chômage futur.
