Home and School in the Development of Children
整合了儿童发展与教育生产函数文献，分析家庭和学校投资对儿童技能形成的影响，发现低技能儿童从改善中获益最多，且减少家庭投资差距比改善学校质量更能缩小收入相关的技能差距。
ABSTRACT We develop an empirical framework integrating Child Development and Education Production Function literature. It accounts for classroom and parental influences, skill measurement issues, and cognitive/noncognitive interactions. Both home and school investments shape children's skills by kindergarten, with low‐skill children benefiting most from improvements. While classrooms are generally more productive, reducing disparities in home investments is more effective in closing income‐related skill gaps. This stems from greater inequality in home investments than in school quality across socioeconomic groups.
