Persistent poverty and children's cognitive development: evidence from the UK Millennium Cohort Study (2016, background): “…investment and the child’s development; it is also possible that parents could attempt to reinforce or compensate for their child’s ability such that, for example, parents who are faced with limited resources decide to invest more in a child who is already well endowed (Currie and Almond, 2011).”
The Production of Human Capital in Developed Countries: Evidence from 196 Randomized Field Experiments (2016, neutral): “9See Carneiro and Heckman (2003) or Almond and Currie (2010) for extensive reviews.”
Entrepreneurial potential: The role of human and cultural capitals (2014, background): “Data from longitudinal studies indicate that variations in educational attainment, employment and wealth can be attributed to differences in childhood characteristics measured as early as at 5 years of age (Almond and Currie, 2009).”
No Child Left Behind: Subsidized Child Care and Children's Long-Run Outcomes (2011, neutral): “For instance, in their review of child care and child development Almond and Currie (2010) suggest that girls and children with low educated parents benefit most from child care attendance.”
Seasonal Effects of Water Quality: The Hidden Costs of the Green Revolution to Infant and Child Health in India (2014, background): “This is consistent with the large body of evidence surveyed in Almond and Currie (2010) demonstrating the long-term effects of negative health shocks to 6 Restricting the sample to only Hindus and Muslims, 82 percent of households in India and 95 percent of households in Nepal in the DHS surveys…”
How does your kindergarten classroom affect your earnings? Evidence from Project Star. (2010, methodology): “Exploiting this orthogonality condition, one can estimate (3) and (4) directly using OLS for characteristics that are directly observable, as we did using (1) and (2) to analyze the impacts of class size and observable teacher and peer attributes.”
Understanding China's Urban Pollution Dynamics (2013, background): “…audit outcomes had a significant impact on incumbents’ electoral performance, and that these effects were more pronounced in municipalities where 35 Moretti and Neidell (2011) recognize that the population is likely to invest in self protection when they anticipate high levels of ambient pollution.”
Household Choices and Child Development (2010, background): “In this case, seeing a parent not supply time to the market is consistent with (1) that parent’s wage offer being low, (2) the household utility function weight on that parent’s leisure being high, (3) that parent’s time with the child being highly productive, or any combination of (1) - (3).”

The Effects of Test-based Retention on Student Outcomes over Time: Regression Discontinuity Evidence from Florida (2017, background): “The same appears to be true of early childhood interventions such as the Perry and Abecederian preschool demonstration projects and the Head Start program (see Almond and Currie [2011] for a review).”
Maternity leave and children’s cognitive and behavioral development (2014, neutral): “Indicators of cognitive development have well-documented links to future outcomes (Almond and Currie 2011), but measuring cognitive development up to age two is challenging (Bradley-Johnson 2001; Saye 2003), and the impacts of early maternal employment may not manifest until the child is age three…”
Doubly robust uniform confidence band for the conditional average treatment effect function (2016, background): “ that low birth weight is associated with prolonged negative eects on health and educational or labor market outcomes throughout life, although there has been a debate over its magnitude.
