In a mean-field productivity model, dedicated teachers are optimal only above a critical population size, peak at intermediate sizes, and never exceed half the population.
As this expression shows, there is a critical population size nc required before it is beneficial to dedicate anyone to teaching, given by nc = (1 + rη)(1 + η) ν(r 2 1)
