Interpreting the Evidence on Life Cycle Skill Formation (2005, background): “Technologies (5) and (6) can rationalize this pattern.”
Starting Strong (2003, background): “It finds that every dollar invested in high quality, full-day, year-round pre-school generated a four dollar return to the children, their families and all taxpayers (Masse and Barnett, 2002).”
Head Start's Lasting Benefits (2005, background): “Findings from the Abecedarian Project show that the program produced large initial effects that persisted long after the intervention ended (Campbell et al., 2001, 2002; Campbell & Ramey, 1994, 1995).”
Is Mentoring Worth the Money? A Benefit-Cost Analysis and Five-Year Rate of Return of a Comprehensive Mentoring Program for Beginning Teachers. (2007, background): “Since education may be considered, in economic theo ry terms, “both a consumption good that confers immediate benefits and an investment good that confers personal and social benefits well into the future (Becker, 1964; Haveman & Wolfe, 1984)” ( Masse & Barnett, 2002 ), we feel that, following the “”
The Life-Cycle Benefits of an Influential Early Childhood Program (2016, unknown): “Previous analyses of ABC pay special attention to special education, arguing that savings due to a reduction in this category are substantial (Barnett and Masse, 2002, 2007).84 This category is much less important in our calculation.85”
Skill Formation and the Economics of Investing in Disadvantaged Children (2006, result): “Similar returns are obtained for other early intervention programs (19, 20 ), although more speculation is involved in these calculations because the program participants are in the early stages of their life cycles and do not have long earnings histories.”
An Investigation of the Effects of Variations in Mentor-Based Induction on the Performance of Students in California (2008, background): “…immediate benefits and an investment good that confers personal and social benefits well into the future (Becker, 1964; Haveman & Wolfe, 1984)” (Masse & Barnett, 2002), we feel that, following the “fundamental principle” of benefit-cost analysis outlined by Gramlich (1998, p. 41), a…”
Comparative benefit-cost analysis of the Abecedarian program and its policy implications (2007, methodology): “A preliminary version of the Abecedarian benefit–cost analysis gives a complete explication of method (Masse & Barnett, 2002).”
