摘要

We develop an empirical framework integrating Child Development and Education Production Function literature. It accounts for classroom and parental influences, skill measurement issues, and cognitive/noncognitive interactions. Both home and school investments shape children's skills by kindergarten, with low-skill children benefiting most from improvements. While classrooms are generally more productive, reducing disparities in home investments is more effective in closing income-related skill gaps. This stems from greater inequality in home investments than in school quality across socioeconomic groups.
