• Credit Constraints in Education (2011, unknown): “…empirical studies find that family income received at early childhood ages has a greater impact on achievement and educational attainment when compared with income received at later ages (e.g. Duncan and Brooks-Gunn 1997, Duncan, et al. 1998, Levy and Duncan 1999, Caucutt and Lochner 2006, 2011).”
