主讲人：Erzo Luttmer（University of Minnesota）题目：An Assignment Model of Knowledge Diffusion and Income Inequality
摘要：
Randomness in individual discovery disperses productivities, whereas learning from others keeps productivities together. Long-run growth and persistent earnings inequality emerge when these two mechanisms for knowledge accumulation are combined. This paper considers an economy in which those with more useful knowledge can teach others, with competitive markets assigning students to teachers. In equilibrium, students with an ability to learn quickly are assigned to teachers with the most productive knowledge. This sorting on ability implies large differences in earnings distributions conditional on ability, as shown using explicit formulas for the tail behavior of these distributions.
主讲人：
Erzo Luttmer is currently a professor of economics at the University of Minnesota and a visiting scholar at the Federal Reserve Bank of Minneapolis. He previously taught at Northwestern University and at the London School of Economics. His main research interests are economic growth and macroeconomics. His research seeks to understand what drives the demand for redistribution and social insurance and how the implementation of redistribution and social insurance programs can be improved. Many of his papers highlight the important role of social effects in economic behavior. Much of his more recent research explores the role of cognitive limitations on demand for and design of social insurance programs. His work has been published in Journal of Political Economy, Econometrica, The Review of Economic Studies and many other journals.[WG1]
