The effect of early childhood stunting on children's cognitive achievements: Evidence from Young Lives Ethiopia

In this article, the authors examine the effect early childhood stunting on cognitive achievements of children using longitudinal data that incorporate anthropometric measurements and results of cognitive achievement tests such as Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test and Cognitive Development Assessment quantitative tests. Their work is borne out of the context that there is little empirical evidence on the effect of childhood malnutrition on children’s cognitive achievements in low income countries like Ethiopia.

The Dynamics of Skill Formation in a Developing Country: Evidence from Ethiopia

There is a consensus in the community of researchers that ability explains a substantial part of the differences across people of success in socioeconomic life, and that ability gaps across people emerge at childhood before they start school. Building on recent advances in the child development literature in Economics pioneered by James J. Heckman, we estimate two transitions technology of skill formation using four waves of survey data in Ethiopia which are part of the longitudinal project "Young Lives" funded by the UK aid department.

Heterogeneity in the impact of drought on child human capital - evidence from Ethiopia

Children in the developing world are routinely exposed to drought shocks and other climatic hazards. Such shocks can have lasting effects in adulthood if they affect investments in child human capital. In this study, I investigate the impact of two recent episodes of drought in Ethiopia on two measures of cognitive outcomes: Peabody Picture Vocabulary Test (PPVT) scores and Mathematics Test scores. I use data from the Young Lives study on children followed at ages 8-10 and 12-14.
