Essays on Social Capital and Human Capital Ph.D. Dissertation, University of Pennsylvania, 2003 Cohort(s): Children of the NLSY79 Publisher: UMI - University Microfilms, Bell and Howell Information and Learning Keyword(s): Behavior Problems Index (BPI); Home Observation for Measurement of Environment (HOME); Maternal Employment; Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT- Math); Peabody Individual Achievement Test (PIAT- Reading); Pre-natal Care/Exposure Estimation of child development production functions. In the essay production functions of child cognitive and social development are estimated using the tree-structured regression. A sample of eight- and nine-year old children from NLSY(79) child data is used, containing over two hundred home and school inputs starting from mother's prenatal tare period. The estimation is conducted under various specifications used in the literature, including value-added and within-child difference methods. The estimation results show that in most cases earlier scores are not sufficient statistics for historical inputs. Child's innate abilities have large effects on child development. The effects of race and maternal employment are also discussed. |
