In the News:

The Council on Foreign Relations Blog writes about Karen Macours, Norbert Schady, and Renos Vakis' research on the impact of cash transfers on early childhood cognitive development, which appears in the April 2012 issue of AEJ: Applied. Macours, Schady, and Vakis show that a program that transferred cash to women in Nicaragua improved child development during the program and two years later, after the program was ended and transfers were discontinued.

AOL Daily Finance writes about Philip Oreopoulos, Till von Wachter, and Andrew Heisz's research on the career effects of graduating in a recession, published in the January 2012 issue of AEJ: Applied.
