Economic Integration and Growth under Intergenerational Financing of Human Capital Formation

Abstract

This paper examines the patterns of economic integration and endogenous growth in a two-country overlapping generations world in which the formation of human capital is driven by intergenerational paternalistic altruism. It explores the influence of cross-border external effects in human capital on growth. Interestingly, world integration can enhance (reduce) long-run growth in both countries if cross-border external effects in human capital are strong enough (too weak).
