Abstract

This study deals with intergenerational mobility in France over the period 1945-1993, highlighting the role of the economy?s human capital endowment. Using an overlapping-generations interwoven-generations model with heterogeneous agents, we show that the presence of diffusion effects, linked to the economy?s average human capital, makes it possible to reduce inequality in human capital, even in the case of endogenous constant-rate growth. The theoretical model provides certain elements helping to explain the increase in the level of school enrolment seen in France in recent decades. Estimates on the basis of data provided by INSEE?s ?Formation et QualificationProfessionnelle? (Training and Professional Skills) survey for1993 showthattheeconomy?s average human capital plays a significant role in the accumulation of human capital and contributes to intergenerational mobility, despite a high coefficient for the transmission of human capital between generations.
