TL;DR: This paper uses a calibrated “pedagogical production function” model to estimate the potential long-term losses to children’s learning from the temporary shock of Covid-19 related school closures and models possible gains from two mitigation strategies.

The causal effect of education on earnings
TL;DR: This paper surveys the recent literature on the causal relationship between education and earnings and concludes that the average (or average marginal) return to education is not much below the estimate that emerges from a standard human capital earnings function fit by OLS.
Journal ArticleDOI
Economic Status and Health in Childhood: The Origins of the Gradient
TL;DR: The authors found that children from lower income households with chronic conditions have worse health than do those from higher income households, and that adverse health effects of lower income accumulate over children's lives.
Journal ArticleDOI
Long Term Consequences Of Early Childhood Malnutrition
TL;DR: The authors examined the impact of pre-school malnutrition on subsequent human capital formation in rural Zimbabwe using a maternal fixed effects - instrumental variables (MFE-IV) estimator with a long term panel data set.

Mother's Education and the Intergenerational Transmission of Human Capital: Evidence from College Openings
Janet Currie,Enrico Moretti +1 more
TL;DR: In this paper, the authors examined the effect of maternal education on birth outcomes using Vital Statistics Natality data from 1970 to 1999 and found that higher maternal education improves infant health as measured by birth weight and gestational age.
