متن کاملThe disease environment, schooling, and development outcomes: Evidence from Ethiopia
The disease environment could help explain underdevelopment in Africa. This paper shows that local malaria risk is associated with worse local development outcomes. Combining an Ethiopian household survey with satellite-derived topographical information, the paper shows that malaria incidence is correlated with village elevation, slope, and their interaction. That is, malaria is sensitive to el...

متن کاملAbility, Schooling Inputs and Earnings: Evidence from the NELS
Utilizing the National Educational Longitudinal Study data, this paper examines the role of pre-market cognitive and noncognitive abilities, as well as schooling inputs, on young mens earnings. In addition to the conditional mean, we estimate the impacts over the earnings distribution using recently developed (instrumental) quantile regression techniques. Our results show that noncognitive abi...
