Abstract

This paper introduces household's decision for schooling and firm's decision for technology-specific training together into the second generation model of endogenous innovation, and analyses how schooling and technology-specific training interact each other, how they respectively affect innovation and economic growth, and also how the portfolio mix of schooling and technology-specific training changes as economy becomes more innovative. Main results are as follows: First, schooling and technology-specific training both have "inverted-U"shape growth effects. Second, schooling investment per labor required for growth maximization is always greater than that for firm profit maximization. Third, the optimal schooling for growth maximization decreases with technology-specific training. Fourth, the schooling effect on technology-specific training is "U"shaped, so that for firm's profit maximization schooling is substitutable for technology-specific training at the relatively lower level of schooling but complementary at its relatively higher level. Fifth, as economy becomes more innovative, the portfolio mix of education changes in favor of schooling.

가계의 학교교육투자와 기업의 기술특화교육투자에 대한 의사결정을 동시에 고려한 제2세대 기술혁신기반 경제성장모형을 구축하고 학교교육과 기술특화교육 각각의 기술혁신 및 경제성장효과, 두 교육 간의 상호작용, 그리고 기술혁신에 따른 두 교육포트폴리오 구성의 변화 등에 대해 분석한다. 주요결과는 다음과 같다. 첫째, 학교교육과 기술특화교육의 각각의 경제성장효과는 비선형의 "역-U"형이다. 둘째, 성장극대화를 위한 학교교육의 수준은 기업 이익극대화를 위한 학교교육의 수준 보다 항상 크다. 셋째, 성장극대화를 위한 학교교육의 수준은 기술특화교육에 대체적 관계에 있다. 넷째, 학교교육의 기술특화교육에 대한 영향은 "U"형으로 기업 이윤극대화 측면에서는 낮은 수준의 학교교육은 기술특화교육에 대체적이며, 높은 수준의 학교교육은 기술특화교육에 보완적이다. 다섯째, 기술혁신이 강화될수록 기술특화교육 대비 학교교육이 더욱 강화된다.
