Project Details

GUODLCCI focuses on the origins, dynamics and consequences of early inequalities in human capital accumulation. This includes the examination of:

  1. The impacts of early shocks;
  2. The performance of targeted vs universal policies;
  3. The role of parents in compensating and/or reinforcing children’s human capital endowments;
  4. The role of peers and assess the potential of simple interventions influencing social interactions between students in reducing inequalities.
