Abstract: | This article examines the relation between the labour market and the educational sector, and considers a matching model with ex-post Nash bargaining, where workers have multidimensional skills and technology has segmented the search market. Education defines the scope or adaptability- and intensity or productivity - of individual skills. It is concluded that unemployment creates incentives to schooling because the need for adaptability is raised. There are less private than social returns to productivity, but no hold-up phenomenon is included. Because of wage and congestion externalities, to adaptability there are more private than social returns. |
