BEHRMAN, JERE R.
- Abstract
The author discusses research on family behaviors, heterogeneities, and the determinants and impacts of human resource investments over the life cycle. He provides an overview of his projects as an empirical microeconomist involved in Latin America and the Caribbean. He illustrates the possible importance of unobserved factors, including abilities in determining human resources and their impacts. Empirical estimates related to household behaviors are discussed including preferences and intrahousehold allocations, schooling returns, and school quality.
