ABSTRACT
The education investment has always been the popular topic which people are concerned. From the perspective of the influence of the education investment on the lifetime income, this paper uses the modified Cobb-Douglas production function and joins the J-F method to analyze the process of the formation of lifetime income. During this process, we will pay attention to the role of education investment. The empirical results show that compared to fixed-asset investment, education investment has a more significant effect on life-long income. This effect is particularly prominent in underdeveloped regions, such as interior and west provinces and rural areas.
