dc.description.abstractThis thesis intends to shed light on the possible efects of higher education policyreforms on the distribution of wealth, specifically the implementation of free highereducation, replacing tuition fees. A novel alternative for financing the reform is examined: a tax on the labor income of higher education graduates. The analysisis based on a quantitative OLG life cycle model, with heterogeneous agents, intergenerational links, incomplete financial markets, endogenous education decision,and general equilibrium in the determination of wages. The results indicate a slightdecrease in wealth inequality, explained by an increase in enrollment, graduationand a smaller earnings premium for higher education.
