| Título: | Health, Nutrition, and Economic Development |
| Fuente: | Journal of Economic Literature. v.36, n.2. American Economic Association |
| Páginas: | pp. 766-817 |
| Año: | June 1998 |
| Resumen: | The relationship between economic development and health has received far less attention than the relationship between development and schooling. However, recent studies indicate that better health is associated with improved labor market outcomes, particularly in low-income settings. Difficulties in disentangling the causal mechanisms underlying these associations are discussed, highlighting the role of behaviors and measurement of health. The empirical literature is reviewed, and implications of results for the functioning of markets are drawn out. The discussion includes an evaluation of the empirical evidence in support of the nutrition (health) efficiency wage hypothesis: we conclude that it is thin. |

| Título: | Does Head Start Make a Difference? |
| Fuente: | American Economic Review. v.85, n.3. American Economic Association |
| Páginas: | pp. 341-64 |
| Año: | June 1995 |
| Resumen: | The impact of participation in Head Start is investigated using a national sample of children. Comparisons are drawn between siblings to control for selection. Head Start is associated with large and significant gains in test scores among both whites and African-Americans. However, among African-Americans, these gains are quickly lost. Head Start significantly reduces the probability that a white child will repeat a grade but it has no effect on grade repetition among African-American children. Both whites and African-Americans who attend Head Start, or other preschools, gain greater access to preventive health services. |
