El objetivo de este trabajo es analizar la efectividad del Programa Escuela 2.0 sobre los resultados en Matemáticas. Este programa se inició en el año 2009 con el objetivo de fomentar la enseñanza a través de nuevas tecnologías en los centros públicos de España. Se procede a realizar una...

This paper analyses the effect of unmet formal care needs on informal caregiving hours in Spain using the two waves of the Informal Support Survey (1994, 2004). Testing for double sample selection from formal care receipt and the emergence of unmet needs provides evidence that the omission of...

In this paper we analyse the situation of children with mental and/or physical disabilities who suffer discrimination due to their disabilities by their peers at school. We use a sample of 459 children between 6 and 15 years who suffer some type of disability from the Survey of Dependency,...

In a world in which the welfare state is under pressure, understanding the dynamic effects of money transfers from parents to adult children and their relationship with informal care can be relevant for policy purposes. We use the first two waves of the Survey of Health and Retirement in Europe...

In this paper we estimate and validate a three-period sequential model of older workers' labor force transitions following a health|disability shock, using retrospective information from Spanish cross-section data. Central to the analysis are the effects of the various disabilities and their...

In this work we study older workers’ (50—64) labor force transitions after a health/disability shock. We find that the probability of keeping working decreases with both age and severity of the shock. Moreover, we find strong interactions between age and severity in the 50—64 age range and...

There is a controversial debate about the effects of permanent disability benefits on labor market behavior. In this paper we estimate equations for deserving and receiving disability benefits to evaluate the award error as the difference in the probability of receiving and deserving using...
