Four Invalid Propositions about Equality, Efficiency, and Integenerational Transfers through Schooling.

Conlisk, John

Journal of Human Resources, v19 n1 p3-21 Win 1984

Four propositions that have been advanced on the basis of verbal intuition are considered. They are given precise interpretation in a formal model and then disproved. The propositions concern intergenerational transfers through schooling; in particular, they concern equality-efficiency conflicts, net benefit calculation, and the role of genetic transmission.
