چکیده
This paper develops a two-sector, general equilibrium, overlapping generations model to derive necessary and su cient conditions for the existence of private tutoring in the presence of publicly-provided education. Young agents have heterogeneous endowments of human capital, which can be augmented by mandatory public education and elective private tutoring. Old agents work in the production sector and/or supply education services. In this model, the selection of teachers by the government induces a rat race that acts as a catalyst of private tutoring.
