A note on the importance of normalizations in dynamic latent factor models of skill formation
Del Bono, Emilia; Kinsler, Josh; Pavan, Ronni - 2020
Research on child skill formation and related policies typically rely on parent- reported measures of child non-cognitive skills. In this paper, we show that parental assessments of child non-cognitive skills are directly affected by the skills of the parents. We develop a dynamic model of child...

Parental guidance and supervised learning
Lizzeri, Alessandro (contributor);  … - 2006
We propose a simple theoretical model of supervised learning that is potentially useful to interpret a number of empirical phenomena. The model captures a basic tradeoff between sheltering the child from the consequences of his mistakes, and allowing him to learn from experience. We characterize...

Estimating the technology of cognitive and noncognitive skill formation
Cunha, Flávio; Heckman, James J.; Schennach, Susanne M. - 2010
This paper formulates and estimates multistage production functions for children's cognitive and noncognitive skills … investment in children compared to later remediation. We establish nonparametric identification of a general class of production … targeting of interventions to children with different parental and personal birth endowments. Substitutability decreases in …
