Abstract: | Summary. In this paper, we show that the competitive equilibrium is optimal in the Uzawa-Lucas model with sector-specific externalities associated to human capital in the goods sector. Thus, these external effects do not provoke a market failure and do not provide a rationale for government intervention.Received: 1 November 2002, Revised: 3 June 2003, JEL Classification Numbers:
