Business and Economics Honors Papers
This study investigates how maternal and paternal employment status and educational attainment, coupled with parental time and educational inputs such as toys, books, etc. devoted to children, have impacted young children's cognitive development in the U.S. Cognitive development comprises the intellectual and conscious thinking growth that begins in infancy. It involves problem solving, reasoning and memory aptitudes and is tested for throughout each year of childhood in various ways. The impact of the use of external childcare in lieu of parental time on development is also evaluated. This paper will outline reviewed literature, a theoretical model, data discussion, model construction …

In order to test the hypothesis that a level playing field is important to help fight inequality, a regression tailored for this question is created. I develop a regression model using the variable public expenditure on primary education as the variable to be tested …

Efectos Del Gasto Público En Educación Y La Incertidumbre Macroeconómica En Los Resultados De Alfabetismo En Colombia, Meggie Charlene Rodríguez Delgado
Economía
La siguiente investigación explora los efectos del gasto público en educación y la incertidumbre macroeconómica en los scores educativos en Colombia a través de los métodos de cointegración, mecanismos de corrección de errores y los vectores autorregresivos. Los hallazgos se traducen en que las variables se encuentran cointegradas. La urbanización, el PIB per cápita, y el gasto público destinado a la educación tienen repercusiones positivas sobre los logros educativos, mientras que la inestabilidad macroeconómica tiene efectos negativos. Los análisis de la descomposición de la varianza muestran que los choques en la misma variable se constituyen como la principal fuente de …
