Abstract

This paper shows the estimates of National Transfer Accounts (NTA) for Spain in 2006 disaggregated by education level. Overall, our results indicate that, besides age population composition, education level has a big impact on the economic behavior of households and, hence, on the aggregate economy. Educated households tend to participate more and longer in the labor market, to produce more and, consequently, to consume more. As differences in consumption are lower than in labor income, they are able to contribute to the public system with higher taxes and contributions, and they depend less on public transfers over their lifecycle. Therefore, education seems to be crucial to sustain the welfare state in an ageing society.

西班牙的代际转移:教育的作用

本文显示了2006年西班牙国民转移账户(NTA)按教育水平分类的估计。总体而言，我们的研究结果表明，除了年龄人口构成，教育水平对家庭的经济行为也有很大的影响，从而对总体经济也有很大的影响。受过教育的家庭往往更多、更长时间地参与劳动力市场，生产更多，从而消费更多。由于消费差异小于劳动收入差异，他们能够以更高的税收和捐款为公共系统做出贡献，并且他们在生命周期中对公共转移的依赖较少。因此，在老龄化社会中，教育似乎对维持福利国家至关重要。
