Cognitive skills, non-cognitive skills, and family background: evidence from sibling correlations (2016, background): “Nevertheless, there is also evidence from the economic literature that cognitive skills are shaped by environmental factors, such as educational activities in the family or parenting style (e.g Sacerdote, 2002; Plug and Vijverberg, 2003; Ermisch, 2008; Fiorini and Keane, 2014).”
Learning at home during COVID-19: effects on vulnerable young Australians (2020, background): “22 Time that parents spend with their children on productive or educational activities are important determinants of childhood development (Fiorini and Keane 2014, Del Bono et al. 2016, Attanasio et al. 2020).”
Socioeconomic Gaps in Early Childhood Experiences (2016, background): “The best quasi-experimental evidence currently available suggests that time spent in engaging activities, particularly with parents, has meaningful benefits for children’s cognitive development (Fiorini & Keane, 2014; Kalil & Mayer, 2016).”
A Matter of Time: Father Involvement and Child Cognitive Outcomes (2018, methodology): “The hierarchy of productivity across activity types is highly consistent with findings on maternal involvement in the United States by Hsin and Felfe (2014) as well as findings for time spent with either parent in Australia by Fiorini and Keane (2014).”
