Abstract
The allocation of resources between education and health is an important and puzzling decision for the governments in countries with high mortality rate. We build a three-period overlapping generation model with mortality risk and show that if public education expenditure exceeds a critical value, young cohort loses incentives to study and growth effects of public education expenditure becomes negative.
