1. Literatures/Motivations• The diversity of human capital can matter
for the POT and growth.• Diversity and Trade (Grossman & Maggie
2000AER, Grossman 2004JPE)– Labors with different talent– Industry-specific module of tasks-combination
• Conventional Industries (motor)// skill-clustering• Newly developed (software)// cross-matching
• Diversity and Growth (Das 2005)– Diversity speeds up growth

Real World Data
• Fact: For human capital, countries differ not only in diversity but also in Kurtosis
• Type 1: One of the countries has higher 95th/5th and higher 75th/25th than the other; for example, U.S.A. vs. Germany (denoted as DEU).
• Type 2: One of the pair countries has higher 95th/5th but lower 75th/25th than the other; for example, Canada vs. U.S.A.

Main Findings• Diversity Effect Diversity Comp. Adv. in Submodular (S-goods) ‧Pattern of Trade (more likely to Export S) ‧Growth (higher growth rate, if R&D is S-goods)• Kurtosis Effect Kurtosis Comp. Adv. in Supermodular C-goods) Opposite to the Diversity Effects
Theme: Kurtosis difference why an more diversity economy may have lower growth rate. (Explain the discrepancy between theoretical results and empirical observations.)
2. Model
• A small-open economy • Labor with hetero talent symmetric distribution• 2 sectors (C&S) / 2 tasks Yi=η Fi (tx, tv)
– Consumption sector C supermodular
(skill-clustering : employing identical-skill workers)
– R&D sector S submodular
( Cross-matching: most- least-talented)

4. Concluding Remarks
• More diverse and higher kurtosis talent distribution leads to change in POT and lower growth rate. (Case II)
• Kurtosis Effect dominates the diversity effect.
