The Review of Economics and Statistics Vol. 53 No. 2 1971

Growth, Induced Changes in Final Demand, Educational Requirements, and Wage Differentials

M. Hershkowitz; Zvi Sussman

Abstract

More specifically, section I develops a model for the analysis of the effect of changes in consumer demand on average educational requirements under rather restrictive assumptions. Some quantitative conclusions, based on income elasticities, input-output coefficients and capital-output ratios in the Israeli economy, are presented. Section II deals with the effect of changes in the composition of consumption on the demand for different levels of education, and their effect, in turn, on wage differentials. The discussion is based on the analysis and calculations of section I.
