      abstract = {The paper offers a united way to examine several puzzles  on in- equality dynamics. It focuses on differences in the  education tech- nology and their effects on income  distributions. Our overlapping generations economy has the  following features: (1) consumers are heterogenous with  respect to ability and parental human capital; (2)  intergenerational transfers take place via parental direct  investment in education and, public education enhanced by  taxes (possibly, with a level determined by majority  voting). We explore several varia- tions in the production  of human capital, some attributed to 'home- education' and  others related to 'public-education', and indicate how  various changes in education technologies affect the  intragenerational income inequality along the equilibrium  path.},
