Natural resources, redistribution and Human capital formation

How do resource booms affect human capital accumulation? We exploit time and spatial variation generated by the commodity boom across local governments in Peru to measure the effect of natural resources on human capital formation. We explore the effect of both mining production and tax revenues on test scores, finding a substantial and statistically significant effect for the latter. Transfers to local governments from mining tax revenues are linked to an increase in math test scores of around 0.23 standard deviations. We find that the hiring of permanent teachers as well as the increases in parental employment and improvements in health outcomes of adults and children are plausible mechanisms for such large effect on learning. These findings suggest that redistributive policies could facilitate the accumulation of human capital in resource abundant developing countries as a way to avoid the natural resources curse.

Trata de los niños y de los primeros años de escolaridad. Los maestros en el transcurso de sus clases sienten varias preocupaciones :la conciencia de la enseñanza de la lectura y la escritura antes y después de la transición a la escuela, el poder de la escritura en una edad temprana y la conversación como una herramienta para mejorar la enseñanza. Se establecen conexiones recíprocas entre cómo un tipo de aprendizaje apoya al otro, es decir, entre el lenguaje oral y la escritura, entre la escritura y la lectura.

Outcomes of conventional amplification for pediatric unilateral hearing loss

Although some children with unilateral hearing loss (UHL) are at-risk for educational difficulties and behavioral problems, research in treatment outcomes for pediatric UHL is limited. The objective of this study was to examine the benefits of a conventional hearing aid in children with mild to moderately severe UHL, using speech perception measures and subjective assessments from the child, parent, and teacher.
